Performance Anxiety
🌟 The Crippling Grip of Performance Anxiety 🌟
Performance anxiety can feel like a suffocating cloak, shrouding your talents and abilities in doubt and fear. It’s the racing heart, the sweaty palms, and the overwhelming fear of failure just as you’re about to step into your moment. This anxiety isn’t just about stage fright; it infiltrates every aspect of life where you need to perform, whether it’s in academics, sports, or social situations. The constant pressure, the feeling of not being good enough, and the fear of being judged can be paralyzing.
