Fear of talking with strangers.
I remember when I decided to chat with voice in English for the first time.
I am not good at speaking even in my native language,
so it was an additional hurdle to the lack of vocabulary
and poorly knowledge of grammar. But I put myself there
and started a chat with completely strange people.
I knew that there was no other way to speak a language
fluently, but to practice speaking.
Talking with strangers didn't come in handy when I spoke for the
first time. They asked me questions that I wasn't able to
answer for the lack of vocabulary. But it gave me a sight about
the most common topics talked there, so I knew which words I
should learn quickly to manage the conversation. I don't know
why I am so uneasy while talking with strangers. No one ever died
doing this. So, I try to keep in mind this thought and I hope one day
I overcome my fear of talking with strangers at all.

Hi! Your English here is excellent, just a couple of tiny phrases that seemed a little odd to me, but other than that you're perfectly understandable! I would tell you not to be so shy and just dive in, but I'm also pretty terrible at speaking with people, even in English! Just don't give up, you're obviously getting there! :)

I have that very same fear. Sometimes you just have to jump in the cold water and soon enough, you'll be swimming with ease and enjoyment (:

also bro I've heard it's a cultural thing, Polish people when it comes to talk foreign languages they want to sound perfect, it's perfectly normal to make mistakes because everybody knows it's not your first language and everybody is tolerant, most of the people will acknowledge your effort to learn their language, keep it up dawg!
