I’ve always cared about what others thought of me and what I do. I was shy when I was younger. I got stage fright when I had drama or dance. Drama was the worst because of the speaking. The quiet voice starts.
Dancing did help me overcome expressing movement and my stage fright. It took 5 years of secondary school for me to overcome it. I danced on stage at the front not caring about the audience.
Then school ended. Anxiety and Depression worked its way into my mind. I retreated into myself. I became shy, even more so. The quiet voice shined.
Now, I’m slightly shy. My quiet voice comes out when I’m anxious. But I’m slowly getting over my life stage fright. My anxiety and depression are a long way off to being controlled completely by me. I’m still scared by what people think. Thankfully, not all the time now.
Majority of the people I know don’t know it’s me on my blog. Once, if they do, what if things change. I don’t want to jeopardise my writing I’ve been honest about on here. But I still want to be honest with them.
Showing my face on my blog is something that scares me. I made a video today of me signing the British Sign Language Alphabet to help me in my learning. I’m proud of myself for doing it. I muted myself so no-one can hear my voice. Clearly, being a video, I can be seen.
I’d like to share it on my blog. But life stage fright and the thoughts of others, especially those I know terrify me. Even though most aren’t apart of my life today.
I shouldn’t feel this way. But I do….
Do you have to be on stage here? Just curious. I find that my social media sites are like my little houses.

Definitely, no, my blog is my outlet. Over the past few months, its helped me overcome my inner stage-fright. I feel comfortable writing here, honest and open about what’s going through my mind. I feel I can be me with my words. I guess I’m scared of putting my videos and pictures I’ve come to love on my blog. Fears I want to overcome. Especially on thoughts of those, I used to know. I like your idea of your social media being your little houses. Gives that cosy feeling. Thank you for being curious, for the comment
