Nervousness

I'm also one to love being on stage, with a crowd before you. Hate it when I don't see the audience tho, because then I got no controll. Also something that makes me nervous, when I loose control of things - like walking to a new school but you don't know the way and there's no signs... most of those times, when I'm lost, I go home. It's just so much easier, and I don't have to feel any negative feelings because I know where to go.

I'm not nervous before entering the stage, but when I'm walking up and I know there's a lot of people out there I may begin to shake a bit, but it's something you may not notice. I can talk and walk almost normally even if shaky, it's just like being exausted. But when preforming my task and everything, I'm calm.
But after... remember once, a presentation in school (got the highest grade!) where I did it all greatly, but afterwards I was shaking like hell. Teeths shaking, hands couldn't grip things properly, could barely walk or talk like normal people... lasted for maybe an hour. But before - nothing.

Sometimes I feel an urge to walk up on stage and just talk. Just hold a speach about something that's in my mind, nothing special, just talking. A few houndred people? Well, might be a bit scary, but when I'm going on I wont feel a thing... untill afterwards, that is...

:S I remember often going home during school hours..Bullying had put me really on edge so I was just constantly uncomfortable at school. Even now I still return home every chance I have, just to get away from people. I guess I feel 'lost' in a way, daily, when I'm in college, as I don't quite fit into any 'group' of peers. I just float around between people, laugh a bit, speak up a bit, and then melt back into the crowd.

Living where I do, everyone turns out not quite Emo and not quite 'Gangster'..They're an even mix. >.<

If I get nervous, like when I'm going for job interviews and such, I just tell myself I'm better then everyone else, snobby and mean I know but it keeps me calm and not like worrying the whole time.

I really think that's a good approach tyson. A lot of my nervosness (and I'm sure it's the same with others) comes from a severe lack of confidence in myself. To have a higher opinion of myself would probably go a long way to making the nervosness more manageable.

yer I find that when im all Gothed up, with my necklaces, scarves, coats, gloves, make-up and hair, I am at my most confident, but unfortunately people don't seem to want to give a job to someone who looks like a Helsinki Vampire haha

I had an interview this morning and for once I wasn't nervous. The last one I went to had me sweating like crazy. My whole back was drenched from sitting in that hot chair. This morning I stood the whole time and it was so much nicer. I wasn't even the least bit worried. Hope I get the job!
