Like you’ve just been with these people for so long you’re like… fuck it who care if they judge me, they pronably got so used to my weirdness anyways…
But strangers… better keep quiet… don’t want them to have the image of: “oh that weird guy/gal that sings to himself/herself all the time” be permanently in their head…
I convert from singing to whistling, then back to singing once strangers are out of earshot.
No. :( But I wish I did.
Nope, the dynamic in my family is most of us need some polite distance from each other and wouldn’t be comfortable doing that.
That’s how your close relationships are supposed to feel. They should be people you feel comfortable to be yourself completely when around them!
I’m like that with my wife and a few close friends. Not so much with my family though.
My parents and sister won’t let me sing. I’m told by others that I can sing well.
Total opposite. People I know, I don’t talk much.
Random crowd, I’ll do a full on performance in front of them.
I’m the complete opposite. My family members are judgemental monsters, so it’s super easy for me to ignore the glances and snickers I get when I’m belting out “How it’s done” (done done!) in the backstock room.
Sameee
Huntrix don’t miss!
I’m on vacation out of the country and that’s the one movie I downloaded from Netflix before coming. So it’s very fresh and I tend to listen to it to help me fall asleep. Which is what I ought to be doing right now but am not.
If you haven’t experienced it on an OLED screen, do yourself a huge favor!
If the music is loud and I know the song, I’m singing it. Then again I don’t exactly have a reputation for being normal so ya know
Nah, I sing my weird songs around everybody, no shame around anybody.
No. I tend to be quiet but I’ve learned this often makes people uncomfortable. I don’t need to talk around close family, but if I notice uncomfortable body language in a colleague after a long pause in conversation I’ll try to come up with something to say.
I never sing though. Anywhere.
Absolutely! It’s nice to find people you can be yourself with.
I’ve started singing in front of strangers. I’m not that good but I don’t care what anyone thinks. If I’m feeling good enough to sing, I’m taking it.
In front of family, absolutely not, their judgment matters the most and can have significant impact on everything.
It might even be the opposite. The judgment of a stranger, who i will encounter once for 10 seconds and then never again is completely irrelevant as it doesn’t have any impact.
While I don’t sing out loud at all or hum. Being free around others is strongly correlated to how big of an impact they can have on me, either financially, physically or mentally.
