Is it 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

I am a personal musician and Ive been on some of the biggest stages around and I do get performance anxiety. At first I got performance anxiety every time I went on stage no matter how big or small the audience was but after hypnoses It got easier to deal with the anxiety and now I can look at the crowed and smile and have a time of my life. performance anxiety is a learned behavior and it takes some training to get out of that habit. so what you are saying is some what true

Answer 2

both these scenarios are different & not related to each other.
first one is stage fright & is due to anxiety of being judged by other people. it is a defence mechanism developed by our ego to protect itself from damage from outside egoes. it also helps humans to be more social & less adventurous.
the other thing u r metining is becuase when we are conversing with other people we tend to be artificial & are always trying to hide facts or reveal semifacts, in a true heart to heart conversations u look at other person in the eye without even trying.
during a social situation we are not very truthful or are hiding facts intentionally or subconsciusly, that is why we tend to avoid eye contact so that our lie or semi truth is not revealed & our secret remains same.

Answer 3

The first scenario is stage fright. The second one could be nervousness, lying, thinking, or simply don't feel comfortable with too much eye contact.

Answer 4

I've found the best thing to do is to just face your fear and keep eye contact and try to be involved with the person you're talking or the audience.

Answer 5

Not true!
