If you're at a comedy club in the audience and the comedian starts to single you out, your first instinct is to shy away. We resist that attention and scrutiny because we fear rejection by the people who are looking at us.

In public speaking it's the same thing; you're probably scared of being the focus of all eyes on you or your worried about failing. Most people just try to avoid any situations where they have to do any kind of public speaking. That's fine if you intend to be a hermit.
