Answer 1

Sometimes when we want something so bad we are afraid of failure. Could this be your problem? See if you can get some self-help books to help you gain self-confidence. Talk to a councilor at school if you are at school, or someone you admire that has a lot of confidence and is a trust-worthy person. Ask them how they have done it and to give you some advice. Just tell yourself each morning, that you can do it and that no matter what, even if you fail and no one laughs at your jokes at least you tried. Life is too short to waste it wondering and wishing. By the time you know it, a whole lifetime has gone by. Do it now, what ever it is you want to do..... what does it matter what others think, as long as you have done what you set out too..Actually, I like what you said that you love to make people laugh is such a Joy. That is a real gift, not too many people can do that, and if they do, they do it not for the right reasons, but to make "big bucks". You would be doing it for the right reasons, remember that the next time you want to make someone laugh.. Too many unhappy people out here, too many. We need someone like you to bring the world a smile, a giggle and a laugh.. God Bless You, and please think of that next time you want to make some laugh - the world needs you. Be not afraid. Good Luck

A little thing called confidence is missing. It is the same with me and acting. The first time I acted on stage for an audience I had to force myself out on stage. Each time I did it after that, I became a bit more desensitized to doing it. Now, I can act on stage with very few nerves at all. Just convince yourself to do it once, and you can choose after that whether to do it again. Some of the greatest things in life require us taking a chance!

Answer 3

You are sensing a deeper aspect to your character, a part of you that others cannot see just by looking at you. You are fearful however of failing to use those talents that you know you have. I would suggest exploring and enjoying your talents first and foremost for yourself. With time, you will be amazed how much stronger and competent you feel about yourself and this self-confidence will reflect in your interactions with other people.

Answer 4

NOTHING is wrong. You are just going to have to do it. i am a singer in a bluegrass/gospel/Celtic band. i loved to sing since i was very small but i would not sing in front of people. i was SO self conscious. i know you know the feeling. But one day, i was playing my dulcimer at band practice, and i could not hit one of the notes on the instrument so i said, "i will just sing it." Just for the guys in the band. THEY LOVED IT! i was still nervous out in public, but the more i was out there, the easier it got. That was 5 years ago. Now, i love the stage and the mike. i do solos. i have been told many times that i have a beautiful voice and i am beginning to believe it. You just have to try it out...for some people you know at first, then go from there. And you will have bad days sometimes...i still get nervous on occasion. And you will fall on your face...sometimes i forget the words to a song. But i just laugh at myself, the audience laughs with me, and i go on! i hope this helps you. Please try to get out there and do what you love! It is a very satisfying experience and will help you to know exactly who you are. Best wishes!

Answer 5

I think you are like a lot of people, you care about how other people see you. If you are happy with who you are and love your personality, then let it ripe, so to speak. I mean who are you really trying to impress? As long as making people laugh or question themselves makes you happy then people will see that in you and want to spend more time with that crazy guy. I love to spend time with those who (You never know what they will say or do next) to spend time with predictable people is ordinary and boring too. I like that you find yourself to be out of the ordinary and you are trying to take steps to show that to others. Who cares who does not get it. You should only laugh with the people who do. Go have so fun and forget about what other might think. You only get one life to create who you are.

i understand how you feel, lots of people feel this way, it's not because you can't do it , it's because you haven't done it. it might not make sence, but the first time you try something it's always nerve racking and frightful, weither it be riding your bike, being you, having sex, or even talking to people. nothings wrong it's normal, just slowly work your way into what you want to do untill your fully comfortable and then POW your there with what you want. just remember take it slow and push past you shyness, over time it will go away if your willing to go the distance.

Answer 7

Sounds to me like you lack confidence in yourself. You are thinking too much....just get out there and do these things without putting any thought into how people might react. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised and you will have brightened someone else's day up in the process.

Answer 8

Because you're afraid to be yourself? You hide who you really are because of fear that you will not be accepted. You care too much what others think of you and thats not good.
If you enjoy doing those things and want to share them, then do it
never be afraid. Because its those talents that make you special and unique.
