Anyone has performance stress?

i had suffered from performance stress for a long time. everytime i have a task that has a "watchers" (any kind of public knowledge) , i feel tremendous stress to achieve it. and that interfered greatly with my work and my life.

i wonder if sb has the same problem, because perfomance stress is strongly associated with SA.

please share me how you deal with the stress you're facing.

I am somewhat of an enigma as I work as a performer, yet I hate to be the center of attention and have people staring at me. If it weren't for my misguided desire for fame and glory 20 years ago, I think I would have been been happier choosing another profession. Perhaps one where I could just work alone with my ideas or even one on one trying to help people.

In the meantime, anytime I have to get up and speak, perform or present in front of a group of people, even with all my years of experience, I still feel absolute terror and apprehension and am glad when it is over. I'm just not cut out for that sort of thing.

I have always suffered from performance stress and still do.
