What do people think of me?
One day last summer at work, a woman came up and ordered her food and then asked me to sing her something. I don't remember the words she used, but I gave her a confused look, and she said, "Oh come on, anything? You look like a theatrical person. I am a theatrical person, and I can usually spot other theatrical people." I honestly did not know how to respond. I shook my head and just said, "No. I can't sing." She was a little disappointed. I can't blame her, she sort of went out on a limb to just come up and ask someone something like that, though she was probably a little drunk anyway.
Looking back on it, I should have said something about playing the piano for 9 years. However, I certainly do not consider myself any type of theatrical person at all. I hate performing and I hate being on stage and getting all of that attention and being looked at by everyone at the same time. It makes me nervous and anxious and stressed and my hands sweat a lot. But it also got me thinking of all of the hundreds of people I interact with every day at my job and how each one probably judges me even in that short period of time of interaction. I wonder what all of the other people think of me...
