Argh. 😥 I am such an abnormal person. My nerves are just not made for concerts.
I was really shaking badly, long before it was my turn to play. My turn came, and I kept shaking. I didn´t make errors, but I missed “a lot” of notes, due to the shaking. Maybe it was not that obvious, but it was to me, and I felt horrible, I wanted to dig a hole and jump in it. He said I should bow, I kept looking away down everywhere but the audience. *eww*
I am abnormal, I am so embarrased. I felt that I made so many errors, that I really didn´t deserve any applause, and should just vanish becaude I had failed.
After the concert my guitar teacher said that he can´t understand how I can get so disturbed by such little things, that it went really well, and that I shouldn´t worry.
Someones Mom later told me how good it was. She was impressed how we got through the 7 pages in that enormous speed.
Even if every person on this planet would tell me so, I still wouldn´t believe it. I just cannot live up to my expectations. I really wish I would have behaved more normally, too.
And this is, why I do not want to play at concerts. Because I always end up depressed.
They kept applauding after every page, because they thought we were done, that was the fun part. 😀 We kept shaking our heads, hehe.

The only concerts that I’ve been in are school concerts and they weren’t very scary because I was not performing alone. I think if I were in your place I would’ve felt the same to because just singing in front of the class makes me shake and nervous.

Awww Connie, see everybody said it went well. You did deserve the applause. I know how you feel when you make mistakes, you want the piece to be good. Sweetie, nobody thought you did badly and I am proud of you. Got to go now, also hard to type because Apricot is sitting on me 😉
