Stage Fright

I have extremely bad stage fright. People who know me would probably balk at the idea since I am a very loud, opinionated, sometimes obnoxious person. It's true though. My stagefright extends to ridiculous things like asking questions in a group of people, or, for example, knowing that someone is reading something that I wrote. Why, you might ask, would I then decide to start a blog? Well, I've been inspired. I've always wanted a medium with which I could express thoughts, feelings and other randomness. It is of course possible to keep a journal or diary, and I have in the past, but I find that typing, I'm able to spew my thoughts faster, and with more inhibition than I can putting pen to paper.

Here is the place I start from. I hope to find this theraputic both regarding my phobia and for personal expression. I'll have to resist the 'backspace' key and commit to what is typed. Even now, with this short introduction I'm second guessing each sentence, each word even. I suppose I can find some confidence, and peace in the idea that no one will be reading this.
