An odd dream for someone like me to have...

Well, as you know, I have social anxiety, otherwise I wouldn't be posting here. The biggest problem I face right now is my one dream....To be an actor! I've always been an awesome actor with great characterization who doesn't hold back when on-stage or camera. The thing is...my regular personality doesn't fit in with the whole actor persona...Like when I'm in-character I can think like that character, and if it's a really funny character I'll be making joke after joke after joke. If it's a talkative character I'll never run out of things to say. But when I know that the person I'm talking to in reality isn't acting I start worrying about boring them or being annoying and the weirdest thing happens....I can't think of anything to say! I consider that extremely weird because like I said when I'm acting I'll never run out of things to say.

Weird eh??

I think that's great!!! :D It's not unusual for actors/performers to be socially phobic or have stage fright - yes, really! I think you should look for any possible opportunities to act in something. It's great to have something you're good at and feel comfortable in! Who cares if your ordinary persona doesn't fit? That'll only matter if you turn into a big star and have the media after you. :D
 
No, I feel the same, even though I've been anxious for as long as I can remember I actually love acting! I don't do it anymore but when I wasn't as anxious I did do some. I guess we're god at out fro making up so many excuses! :lol:
