Okay, although I am not very proud of it, I do have stage fright, which creeps up at times and is missing in others. I wasn’t really a stage shy person in school, but eventually, as I grew up, I became more conscious of my surroundings and started thinking about what people are noticing when observing me. However, there is one good thing in me, which is the amount of fright I feel when facing the public is more in my head than in reality because once I started performing or speaking, I eventually become so relaxed that all the fright and nervousness is gone and is replaced with confidence.
