the or no 'the'

'it exposes your fear of a situation and lack of confidence before [the?] people'
  

Top answer

"Before" is rarely used that way these days. I would make it, "it exposes your fear of a situation and lack of confidence with people". "The people" is the human beings considered as an entity, as opposed to "the government" or the like.
