Okay, firey spicy take; You should consider taking up LARPing.

Hear me out.

A story I heard time and again from LARPers is that they came in to LARPing feeling socially awkward, or bad at speaking, or just unsure of themselves. They created a character to play; Grug the Orc Wizard, Hyperion the noble Dwarf Paladin, Nightshade the Elven archer. And what a lot of people find, is that at some point in their LARP career, Grug the wizard has to stand up and give a rousing speech to the heros before a battle. Hyperion has to stand over the body of their fallen friend and monologue at the dragon about the futility of evil. Nightshade has to step up and take command of the archers when her captain gets domed by a fireball.

And what people find is, that after enough years of pretending to be a might wizard, a selfless paladin, a battlefield commander, they can do those things in real life, too. They find they spent years practicing how to be the idealized version of themselves that they always wanted to be, and accidentally became much more like that ideal in the process.

Plus you get to run around screaming and hitting people with foam bats, which is lots of fun.
