How far is this fact true?

Question

"When you know that when you are on the stage, you will not smile to your audience or give them a cheerful stare, you get stage fright and is the same reason for people to avoid eye contact during conversations." how far is this fact true?

Answer 1

Well, it is a little interrelated, stage fright and avoiding eye contact are generally people who are shy in nature. But one thing for sure is that people can overcome such fear, only by facing people more & ul learn that the person in front of you is just someone like you. The thing about audiences is that there are majority of people and you cant think of what every single person would be thinking about you. But its just like driving or any other life experience, the fear goes away, with the more you face it... :) tc and all the best !!! ;)

Answer 2

I would hate to think of a world where people avoid eye contact during a conversation. Performing on a stage is entirely different to having a personal conversation.

Is this really a fact? I doubt it.

Is this fact written in the way that it portrays life as "a stage" and we are all actors in the script? In either case, in my opinion, stage fright is not linked to eye contact.

Answer 3

I disagree entirely. The real reason for stage fright is a fear of messing up what you are about to do. Many of the worlds top performers still suffer from stage fright, though it does diminish with time and practice.

Answer 4

You can not be convincing without eye contact. The secret of successful performar is that everybody in the audience feels that the performer is looking to him only.
Even in day to day life, the person talking without eye contact is not reliable.

Answer 5

No, it is not necessarily true! stage fright, and for that matter, nervousness when talking to people, can be totally got rid of, through training on the right lines for such situation, or, complex in one! In fact, you can do that training to yourself, very effectively, through your own efforts!
