Fear of public speaking is socially conditioned

To answer your specific example, rejection from the community was a real danger for our ancestors. It's not the public speaking itself that's triggering your instincts, it's the fact you know it's possible you'll look like an idiot to members of your tribe that's sperging your mokey self out.

To answer your more broad question, it depends, but fear is still rational. We find cockroaches and maggots gross even though they themselves are not a direct threat, but because they're indicative of an environment where you might get sick or eat rotten food. We fear asking someone out because of tribal rejection. We fear death because of self-awareness.

This. It's a result of shit school systems and shit parents who yell at their kids to shut up whenever they speak their minds.

It all goes back to survival. Fear of public speaking. Fear of saying the wrong thing which will lead to someone hurting you or lead to your chances of failing to reproduce.
