I've been on a stage to deliver a thankyou to someone in front of a hall full of people, tripped over my words and hated every moment of being up there. Did it because the person really deserved the recognition and thanks for going above and beyond for me, but I couldn't get off that stage fast enough.Grayskull wrote:Just my opinion but i think it would be incredibly difficult almost impossible for someone with a true Avpd to be in the spot light and be a star id think they would avoid it like the plague.
Almost every music performance I ever did (I was never facing the audience directly), even though I love my music, I always hated being the one at the centre of attention. I desperately wanted to hide or blend into the background- or not be up there. It was easier accompanying another musician, but as a soloist or front and centre, nope. Would be freaking out the whole time.
Some people just can’t do it at all, just freeze up like a deer in the headlights.
