I cant handle this because.............?!


Question:

I cant handle this because.............?

i have social anxiety, and i have huge dreams that seems impossible.
i want to be an actress/model, but i am too shy, and probably when im on stage, i shake, and look like im going to break or puke. why do many people stare at me though? everytime i panic, they just seem to get amazed, and their eyes get bigger.
panic attacks make me shake, sweat, and get nervous. it sucks because im talented. i play the guitar,i can sing, and most of all i can act! my drama teacher hates me to death probably cause of my shyness. i have no idea, but in my school its a living h*ll and teachers treat me wrong cause i have social anxiety (they dont know i have it, but have witnessed my behavior) and it sucks because i come home crying everyday. i cant go out in public, and i hate people because i always feel like they are watching/judging me. what can i do to change this? i want to be an actress or model or singer, but how can i stop thinking what people are thinking of me. i always feel like im judged


Answers:

lots of performers have anxiety.
there was an excellent article in the new yorker last year about stage fright and how people deal with it. it's not a light matter, you will see by reading it that lots of people have severe problems with it... and yet are great at what they do.

here is a link to a version someone typed into a blog... i highly suggest that you read it.

p.s. the actor stephen fry, who is mentioned in the beginning, is my total hero.
