yay yay yay thank you for posting
to answer your question… no
but that’s interesting, we’ll have to wait and see what others’ responses are?

congratulations on your pr, everything you did is inspiring— i still get nervous sometimes checking out with a credit card but i’m going to try to look at it the way you said…
really no big deal

maybe one day you could post a video of you singing/playing guitar on youtube

no, the runny nose never happened to me either. you could possibly be remembering that it happened before and that’s why you get a runny nose.

hahaha perhaps it’s a good thing to be nervous using a credit card.
Yeah, I really wanted to do that with the “Forever Young” cover. It’ll happen someday.

I start to sweat a lot when people are staring at me and my eye starts to twitch if I’m forced to communicate with someone I’m uncomfortable with for too long. Oh, and I can’t seem to speak at a reasonably audible level when I’m overcome with SA. Yep, it sucks. This was a nice video btw, I used to take guitar lessons but I stopped b/c I couldn’t deal with having to talk to me teacher on a one to one basis.

Thanks! I didn’t mention it in the video, but I have to go to a worship service for my world religions class, so I’m gonna check out a Buddhist temple on Sunday. Should be pretty interesting. It would be proactive to go on my own, but my mom’s gonna come with me.

Thats cool well let us know how that works out for you. I happen to drag my mother a long way to much as well. I think I need to start trying to do more things on my own.

Can’t remember having a runny nose. If stressed can have trouble understanding what people say. (Also applies to reading.) I can hear the words, but they don’t make ’sense’, or I understand, but just a second later I’ve forgotten what they said, so I have to ask them to repeat (or re-read) it.
Good to see a LordSardonic video appear in your Favourites. I must go back and re-watch his stuff.

i don’t get a runny nose when nervous (although i have heard of it before), but sweating can sometimes be a problem.

i suffered from allergies and a constantly blocked nose as a kid (had a septoplasty operation about 15 years ago which fixed it). i was extremely self-conscious about sniffing, sneezing, and always having to blow my nose. i had actually forgotten until your vid!

i empathised with your gas station and shopping stories. nice going! you quite literally rock
