Stagefright is something I suffer greatly from, it's more of a mania. There is nothing I fear more than being up front in front of an audience. It doesn't matter if there is 1 person (that I know) in the audience or 100. I have suffered all my life and guess I always will. In an informal, impromptu situation I have no problem at all.

Janie ... "I have a terrible fear of not making myself clear, or of not coming across in a way that conveys my own intelligence, integrity, and intuitive thinking." ... now this is something I should be more concientious of ... It's the opposite for me, I can ramble on in a post and not come across at all in the manner I intended, or it's such a short blurb that has no meaning whatsoever. I'm absolutely embarrased after reading some of my posts.
