Original Advice
“You are allowed to be confident and scared at once - You’re allowed to walk on stage with shaking hands and still call it courage. You’re allowed to love attention without performing a version of yourself you’ve outgrown. Let your confidence come from your heart, not the crowd.”
Stage Fright Still Counts As Bravery
Your hands shake because you still care. That doesn’t cancel your power. The fear you keep trying to hide is not a flaw, it’s proof you’re not sleepwalking through your life. You don’t get to wait until you’re fearless. You walk out anyway, voice cracking, heart racing, refusing to apologize for wanting to be seen.
You’ve worn old versions of yourself like costumes that no longer fit, just to keep the applause steady. Retire them. Let people meet the you who doesn’t laugh on cue, doesn’t dim their needs, doesn’t over-perform charm to earn basic respect. Confidence is not the noise you make. It’s the quiet decision to bring your whole self into the light.
