i am always afraid of being in front of the crowd... especially when in the middle of the stage --- ALONE... even when i just stand up in front of the class and share my ideas, i still get a little scared. i don't know why. maybe because i'm scared they might not get my point, i won't please anyone, or they might just realize they don't like me at all... hehehe stupid, right??? when i sing also, my voice gets shaky and i can't focus. it will turn out to be more humiliating. well, do you feel the same way??? do you also have stage fright???

It is really a common problem when be in some age ,but everyone have suffered from this feeling young or old ,more or less. actually speaking,i have this feeling when i was little,even now also be. that is a processing,a kind of exercise in human life.during the wonderful growing , it will be less and less. take it easy,just let go.

Yes, this would definitely terrify me if I had to get out on stage! I'm not too keen on crowds myself, I feel self-concious and very uncomfortable. When I'm in an uncomfortable situation whereby there are so many people around me I kind of sweat! I have to get away from that situation. I generally like peaceful surroundings and I just let others do all the talking! Andrew

I had this problem when I was younger. In school getting up to give a book report, or a speech made me sick to my stomach. I don't really have that problem now. But it made me sweat back then.

I used to have a stage fright but my mother would often encourage me to participate in school activities where I have to speak in front or to talk to a number of people. Thus, I overcome my fright in the process because of the confidence my mother gave me.
