Hello dear community, I hope you are very well, today I want to talk about a struggle that I have been having for many years, and it is Stage Fright. Since I am small and I am aware of my existence I have been quite shy, and it has been difficult for me to socialize with people, however it has not been impossible, when I had moments when I needed to be in front of the public I always felt a cold in my body, intense heat, pressure, sweat, and the thought that they were watching me up and down or judging me for how I was talking or exposing was something that ate my head and that I took too afraid of not doing things in a proper way. Since then I have looked for a thousand and one ways to overcome this fear with different techniques, either practicing with my stuffed animals, with a friend, with my parents, therefore, I felt very confident and I felt confident, but when I got to the stage or in front, I knew absolutely everything I was going to say, but I forgot many simple or important words. Anyway, I was looking for ways to defend myself, but all the time I was unsatisfied with the presentation.
This fear still persists today, but it is not as strong as it was years ago and it is something I am really proud of because I recognize that I have made a lot of effort, it is still hard to do it but it is not as bad as I thought it was when I was little, it is a matter of practice and getting used to it, obviously I still have those intrusive thoughts but I do not let them affect me so much, I keep looking at the advantages and disadvantages of everything, and looking for the best planned method for me. The method that is currently working best for me is to put short information on the slides, selective and relevant information, which helps me a lot to get along with my speech, the environment and the audience, to not get stuck so much, and mentally repeat to myself that I can, that it is a subject that I master, that it is something that will serve me much later in my college career and working career, because I still have a long way to go, much to learn, and experience.
I would like to advise you not to think that nothing is impossible or eternal, it is something temporary, one more experience, sometimes it can go right or it can go wrong, you have to be aware of it, it can always remain as an anecdote HAHAHAHAHA, laughter should never be missing, well, laughter is one of the best medicines there can be in life, laughter is one of the best medicines you can have in life, as well as good friends who can support you in good times and bad, believe me I have spent many embarrassments trying to overcome my stage fright, and although some I remember with sadness, others I remember with much love for what I felt at the time.
I send you a big hug, and thank you for taking the time to read me, see you in the next Catharsis 🌸
