A major reason people dwell inside of their fears is because they don't trust themselves to be okay at the end. Of course, this always turns out to be an empty fear in itself.

I don't know how true this is. Like you said, you were scarred despite the fact you have been giving a lot of speech before. But at least you made it through.

I usually get the fear just before speaking, it then disappears… and I get into flow… But when I’m in flow, I go a bit unconscious and that just adds to the unknown, and that can be frightening too.

I understand what you are saying about anxiety when prolonged. That’s why you have to face it when it is being born, when it is new. Then it won’t be prolonged.

I think it's part nervousness, but also part excitement. And after I take the stage, those things usually just go away (if it doesn't go away completely, at least it doesn't show). It's not necessarily a bad thing, and if I didn't do that, then maybe I didn't care enough. But anxieties are only good if they don't prolong. If you can't never get rid of the anxieties, that might not be something good. However, it's good to know that you are aware of your own anxiety, and you see that you can overcome it.
