Overcomming Self consciousness
Wed, 9 July 2003, 11:47 amI'm a pretty shy person and i have diffuculty with overwhelming self consciusness in life but when i'm acting it's gone whether it be as a character or myself.
Anyway I'm after any advice for tackling this problem, its not a good way to go through life , I feel as if i'm watching my self all the time without being in tune to whats around me. The more I act with my immagination the more it goes but it keeps comming back when i stop using it.
Thanks

Shy... I used to be so shy that I couldn't even answer the telephone, I would hide behine people as I was introduced to somebody and could barely say a word to anybody... and now, well I'm known to most of my friends as being outgoing!
While not everybody would agree with me, the way that I overcame my shyness was to create a character that was the 'self' that I wanted to be. I stayed true to who I was, but the 'self' character was less self conscious. When people didn't seem to have a problem with the charater of me, it started to stop being a character and being the true me, but I was no longer so worried about what people would think about me...
I don't know how well I've explained it, but I hope this makes some sort of sense
