Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Group & Chrism, As most of you know, I have had this stage fright since childhood. I'm thinking now that the reason for it must have something to do with all the teasing, being picked on and made fun of. I'm naturally a shy and quiet person. I don't really like giving presentations and speeches, but in Visual Communications it's a must. So I had to learn to accept that. I started developing panic attacks in 2002 and used to depend on anti- depressants to be relieved from anxiety. I didn't really like to depend on medications so I stopped taking them in 2005. On the second week of my awakening last april, I noticed a change in me. I used to hate being called on or being placed on the spot. In my mind, I'm going to say something stupid and everyone will laugh at me. One of the good things about being in an Art/Design school, there is no competition. Everyone's work is unique and appreciated. Some may be better than others, but in time you learn to develop those skills too and improve on your work. The problem I had in my childhood years was that everyone competed on each other. So and so's work is better than his/her work. Everyone were not treated equally. I don't agree with the idea of favoritism. Anyway, I had a presentation this morning and I just want to say that it went well. I am so happy that they liked my work. I am used to being critiqued on my stuff without worrying about perfectionism. There's always room for encouragement and improvement. Normally I get panicky during presentations, but I think that Shakti is slowly healing my phobia. I didn't feel nervous anymore or turn bright red when it was my turn to present my project. I am so relieved and feel confident. Shakti sure is doing a lot of healing work with me. Thank you Shakti! Just want to share these with you Thanks for reading.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Progress, Anne!! Hooray, way to go! I know that feeling of anxiety and stagefright. Yet, I sing anyway. It's so hard to overcome but you've made progress. Thank you, Shakti! Love, Valarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
