I am very happy to find this forum as I have been recently diagnosed with SP, which i always seem to have had since childhood. I never knew what it was.. and it really sucks and has screwed my life and robbed me of opportunities in my career (stand-up comedy)
the thing is, I am fine when I am performing on stage in front of a good audience, but it's the time just before and just after having to chat with audience members and other comedians that i fall into a massive panic.
The idea of small talk and looking people in the eye and not worrying (oh god did i just spit when i talk? do they know i am so nervous i speak really fast and don't make any point or any sensical statements?) so i usually run for my life two minutes off stage, thus missing out on networking etc..
i guess some of you know what i am talking about?
Thanks for letting me share this.
