Music Shops

[LazyHermitCrab]

Make me so incredibly anxious. The moment I walk in im like sweating and my voice sounds so childish. It seems like everyone in every store looks at me like an idiot automatically when I walk in. I think it's because when I was younger and took guitar lessons I had a crush on my guitar teacher he did not. He would ask if I was ok and stuff because I would feel like passing out from nervousness. It was hard to learn someone when your nervous just talking to someone who seems confident, laid back, but also judgemental. The music is loud and I don't know a lot about amps etc so it's uncomfortable. I know some songs on thr guitar but I couldn't play in front of anyone when I was there. Well I did attempt but it was horribly bad. Anyone else get really anxious at music shops?

I can relate to this; I used to feel like that walking into cafes & restaurants - do I sit anywhere? how do I order? what do I look like? do I look nervous? what if I shake? how do I pay?

I get intimidated in shops/places where I don't know how I'm supposed to behave or whats appropriate

That used to be me - however, I kept doing it over and over again.

I don't get as anxious, but I'm still really shy in that situation. I'm not new to music playing or anything (far from it, I'm a freaking composer lol) but I'm not sure how to behave because of the kind of people that often frequent those places, I'm often worried that someone will see a scared-looking person like me (although I probably look normal on the outside) and jump on me or something for that.

Also my knowledge of equipment is nice but could be far better, so I'd look stupid if I asked all these questions about stuff.

Mmm i'm buying an acoustic soon, when i get a car that can get me to the shop, and not really looking forward to it. If i get to hold the guitar to get the feel of it i don't remember any pieces. Gonna be left strumming some made up chords and nodding yeh...yeh..that's good.

That order online button is getting more and more tempting.

Why is this? Most music teachers at these shops are attractive! This is why my guitar is still in sitting in my room. Most of the men/women who teach are hella attractive. I would be so busy getting high on the way they smell and the feeling they give me when they get close. I wouldn't even pay attention to the lesson at all. That makes me completely nervous. Other than that I'm like a kid in a candy store at those places.

Oh geez. Cafes are the ****ing worst. Especially crowded ones with outdoors seating.

I hate it sometimes when I'm in a shop and the person who's working there asks if I need any help. No, I just want to be left alone and browse the store without getting any attention!!!!

I live in a very small place where everyone knows everyone. So I feel more anxious shopping in the town where I live than I would be in the city since there's more chance that someone would recognize me here. It's a risk that they will talk to me....

Hate going to music shops to buy a pedal, new amp, etc. I just think what the hell i'm a gonna play while testing the equipment out, and how i'll suck compared to everyone else there.
