I been caught..
It's all cool. You own your words and can parry them any damned way you please. Sorry I missed it. You're artful.
I found a copy by hitting the back button enough... HAHAHAHAHAhhahahah... But i respect his decision to edit... It was a good post though. Was about to respond too...
I'm still kind of shocked... I don't normally like groups of people such as crowds (at least not anymore), but uncomfort never causes me to just freeze like that. I can talk in my sleep, i can talk drunk, I can talk your head off after a day without sleep... Thanks to acting class, i don't have any problem speaking standing up in front of people, or on a stage... I don't forget lines, i am fast enough to improvise If I forget words... Being uncomfortable does not do that to me, nor does being scared. I couldn't think about anything but group. It was like the people in the room became the people in group, that's how i saw them for that moment in time.
I think Julie is wrong... This wasn't a phobia situation. I was surprised to feel fear, and it wasn't a sudden thing. I was fine for the first point of my presentation, but something reminded me of group (raps), and I was at eye level, and they were all looking at me. I didn't think I would feel that way, and i've talked about other things in the same situation and been fine... I couldn't get group out of my head.
Many people mention that propheet/Seminar/workshop music causes vivid flashbacks. Personally, I'm afraid to try. I will sometime... soon. During break, between semesters. How did you guys sit at Straight? Was it in a circle, or was it lines of chairs facing forwards? I'm curious. My hypothesis is that if you place a survivor in a similar situation, similar surroundings, etc... the same will happen.
