Seriously confusing question!!!!!!?

Question

I'm a cheerleader, but im not like what everyone thinks a cheerleader is!!! I hate to talk in front of class, im so shy!! But when competition & game season is in, i will cheer in front of thousands of people, and not think twice about it, is that weird? I am a really good cheerleader, i hate bragging about it, but its the truth, and i hate when people compliment me on my tumbling or stunting, it messes me up! I hate to feel like people are constantly watching me! Is that strange, is something wrong with me??

Answer 1

yes, you souds like a good cheerleader, at least ure not stuck up and full of yourself like other cheerleaders!! shy proves that you dont think ure the only think in the world!

and thats just a confidence issue, you dont feel confident about yourself, just try and take everythin in your pride, but dont get bigheaded, you sound like a good person, so your probably a good cheerleader aswell!

Answer 2

Commitment

Answer 3

nah.theres nothing wrong..

just.. forget what they do to you and how they look at you.i hate it when people gave me that look.teach em some kewl thing.i mean youre a great cheerleader.and they must be love it when youre at the showtime

Answer 4

U DO CHEERLEADING NOT ALONE BUT WITH FEW MORE GIRLS THAT IS WHY U DON'T FELL SHY OR NERVOUS.

BUT WHEN U ARE ASKED TO TALK IN THE CLASS , U  DO IT ALONE SO U FEEL SHY BCOS THERE IS NOBODY BESIDE U.

U HAVE TO PRACTISE TALKING IN PUBLIC. TRY OUT FIRST BY GIVING SMALL COMENTS IN PUBLIC.THIS WILL REMOVE THE FEAR  INSIDE U.

Answer 5

Though you are  really good cheerleader.something is wrong with you.

Answer 6

It sounds well, your confidence and motivation certainly will inspire others, so keep this practice continue but don't be stuffy, talk very specifically and proof it. Your efforts will encourage others & they will get a hints and support from your explicit, extempore and convincing behavior, makes your listeners more impressive and acceptable from justification or explanation you do. Your aggressive attitude and leadership skills will be more productive while you will be in your practical age. God bless to you.

Answer 7

No not strange at all. You obviously enjoy what you do therefore when you are in front of all those people you concentrate on your cheerleading . However when you are not in that frame of mind you are naturally just a bit shy . There is nothing at all wrong with that.

Answer 10

When you're cheerleading, you're playing a part. You're good at that because you know what's required and you do it well.

When you're being yourself, you don't have the same confidence, because you don't have a ready-made script for your life or a role to play. You get self-conscious and afraid of making a fool of yourself.

I know, I'm like that myself. Public speaking and performing music are no problem with me, as they're role playing, but I hate socialising with people I don't really know, and making small talk. I often put my foot in it.

The answer is to realise that you should be yourself, and being yourself is doing whatever comes naturally to you. Don't worry about what other people think; that's a recipe for an unhappy life.

Answer 11

When you're up in front of the class, you're dealing with your peers -- people you see every day and have a big influence on your life.  Also, they're more likely to critically evaluate you and really listen to what you have to say.

When you're keyed up and cheering in front of thousands of people, they're just little dots in a big crowd and while you're cheering, so are they, they want to see you do well.

Basically, in my opinion, it's two different types of attention:  a focus sort (your class) and a diffuse one (a big crowd).  When someone, an individual compliments you, it brings the diffuse attention to a very personal level and that could make you uncomfortable.  Don't worry, this is all perfectly normal.  Good luck!

Answer 12

maybe its because you enjoy being a cheerleader  so that just comes naturally to you but talking in front of the class is not your strong point so just learn how to enjoy it then u may not be so shy!

Answer 13

nope i was a cheerleader for 10 years and i was fine being in front of everyone but when it came to my german class we had to take our tests in front of the class so the teacher could see if we said the words right, and i would freeze.  i dont understand why i hate talking in front of people or being the center of attention, but same as you when game time came i didnt care i just went out there and cheered my butt off. i miss it so much!

Answer 14

you sound really nice cant be anyhting wrong with that - Sound eminently sensible - but anyway the trick is to find the way to be fully behind yourself however you come - You aren't weird or wrong you're just you . There is no right way out to be.

Good luck to you.

I think thre is a big differnece between them wacthing a show and watching you - Its good for them that htey are giving out to the performance enough to recognize you but its their learning that the show stop s at the end of the performance for you. As someone else said just do the minimum; smile- say thanks- and get off.

Answer 15

I think within the past fifteen years, the 'cheerleaders' have become a certain high school (or college, dance team, etc) group. A clique. The kind that are hanging onto the arms of the quarter-back, etc.

Nothing's wrong with you dear. When people ask you stuff like that, just have a simple reply "thanks" and think nothing of it. You should never have to feel the need to fit yourself into the cheerleader group. = )

Answer 16

no it's cos your nervouse thats all everyone is in front of people they know like in school but then when your out there with a thousand eyes on you that you dont know then your ok and no you arent weird everyone feels it at some point in their lives

Answer 17

Don't confuse Confucius until you are confused by his thought as he is from China, the eastern culture so it will be hard for you to differentiate his teaching. You can read more on him. He is 'Chinese culture' and you will understand why you are like that.

As most readers pointed out, Cheerleader's confidence in a large crowd is not individual feeling but group or team spirit and you enjoy the success & performance.

When you are alone infront of a crowd, no matter how small it is, even just a handful, you will have the pressure and stress in presenting.  Why?  It is natural for everyone to fear stage-fright and to recover from it, you need to do many times to overcome yourself and take it easy.  Then the fear will be gone and you will enjoy the attention given to you when you are upfront on stage.

There is nothing wrong with you.  You are naturally a nice girl.

Answer 18

no there is nothing wrong with you ... you are just comparing youself with the steriotype cheerleader and that everyone believes that there all bubbly and has loads of confidence...

well i say carry on as your doing now and im sure your confidence will build up

x*x

Answer 19

There is nothing wrong with you!

The biggest "fear" everyone has is public speaking.

Big thing to do is take every chance you can to get out there.

1) Prepare

2) Practice

3) Reherse

4) Do it!

Even top actors puke before going on stage.

It's normal.

I did have one psychology class that give the best advice ever: Nobody knows what is going on inside your head so most people will not even know you feel nervous!

In fact - most people are not even paying attention.

Best regards! Now break a leg! Well... not really.

Answer 20

cheerleading has nothing to do with ur personal life..

think of it as ur job..do people act at their job like they act at home or with friends?

same concept lies here..

nothing is wrong with u, u just find urself different from other cheerleaders, and believe me that is for ur best :D..

Answer 21

When you're cheerleading in front of thousands of people, they're just a crowd.

When you're speaking in front of a class, they're a crowd THAT KNOWS YOU.

When someone compliments you on your gymnastics, they go from being a crowd to someone THAT KNOWS YOU.

It's all about how far the person has invaded your private space.
