I once was featured on a cable documentary and when I saw myself, I almost died! It was almost an hour, I think, of me working and being interviewed. I COULD NOT believe that was me! What a dope. What an annoying voice! I also spoke at a few conferences where tapes were sold, and, while that was not as awful as seeing AND hearing, it was still horrible. I think that is why I love writing so much. I still cringe sometimes, but at least I can go back and correct things.
I also have trouble, especially when I lecture at the college, because the students are SO BORED WITH ME! I do crazy things to wake them up or I'll yell "Wake up" and scare them.
I'd love to develop the skills to present better because being self-conscious is a big part of the awkwardness.
