Where do I begin … my biggest fear in life, unlike those who fear snakes, the dark, or heights, is stage freight! For some reason, I fear being the center of attention – but then I want to be the center of attention. I like attention, and I want to be liked. It’s weird. I get so afraid that I will get nervous, and so I force myself to become nervous. For example, I tell myself that my hands will shake if I’m reading an essay during a class presentation, and what happens? My hands shake uncontrollably! I tell myself when reading a short paragraph during college that I will panic and everyone will think I’m nervous, and so I panic, my voice cracks, and become nervous. My biggest problem however, is the controlling of my hands. During a hands on presentation for instance…if your hands are uncontrollably shaking, how can you hide your fear? I doubt you can, unless you can completely eliminate your stage fright. However, I know that at other times, people don’t notice my nervousness.
