It's been 11 years since I started playing the piano. I really love playing it however, I have gotten really scared of performing in front of people and I'm not confident in my performances anymore. I think it's due to the fact I didn't do so well in my performance exam and my mother was really hard on me for it as well as me being hard on myself for it too.
I started playing when I was very little, and then took private lessons for 8 years. I stopped taking lesssons about five years ago, but I still play in my free time. I love it. Hoewever--
I've always been so terrified of making a mistake in front of other people I straight up never dared to perform in a recital. The one time I was asked to play in my school in front of not even so many people my legs were shaking so bad and I felt like throwing up so I had to ask not to. I genuinely love to play the piano but the idea of people listening to me and making a mistake reeeeally fucks me up. I wish I could do something about it tho :(
Same thing for me. My dad would always expect the best for me and one time I messed up bad during a recital and I literally just stopped doing recitals. Trying to get back into it recently but my hands still shake and I’m scared of making mistakes.
