I used to do amateur musical theatre, and one line I heard a lot was “oh, you’re so brave to get up in front of all those people!” It feels churlish to tell them I do it because I have narcissistic tendencies coupled with a craving for the approval of my peers.
I don’t much like them. The way I normally wear my hair codes as too casual so I have to do it differently, and they make me feel judged (not wrongly, of course). Neither really applies to karaoke :)

How do you feel about job interviews?

“Ah, it’s because I’m insecure in a different way.” Yep, I’ve been there!
