I used to be afraid of looking at the audience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always shy and had a huge fear of being onstage.
I used to have trouble in front of an audience. I felt uncomfortable.
It's frightening to be facing an audience. There is always the fear of what they think of you, what they are saying about you.
I think I was afraid of what I might say when I got onto someone's stage or in front of someone's camera.
It's very difficult to get an audience to be terrified of what's going on. Think about it: You're in a room with so many other people, so for them to be terrified and to care about what's going on on-screen takes a lot of work.
Every night when I go out on stage, there's always one nagging fear in the back of my mind. I'm always afraid that somewhere out there, there is one person in the audience that I'm not going to offend!
I remember being onstage once when I didn't have fear: I got so scared I didn't have fear that it brought on an anxiety attack.
I'm comfortable in front of a camera, and I'm used to being watched, although that kind of bugged me at first. On the stage, though, I'm scared. I really get frightened in front of people.
I had no fear 'cause it seemed everyone in the audience always applauded whatever I did. Course, maybe it was because I always seemed to know everyone in the audience.
I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience.
