I've got some major problems with performing in front of others.
My family's, like, ooberly musically gifted, and I do quite well playing most instruments (if I do say so myself
). But the reason I don't play in a band anymore is because of the fear of performing in front of others. It's so bad that I wouldn't practice playing my band instrument at home out of fear that someone might hear/see me.
I do regret not having overcome my fear. I'm sure I would have been very inspirational and admired if I had stuck to my talents and abilities and done my very best. But eh, I gave that all up.
