I'm really quiet and shy. I used to have singing lessons, and this was somewhat of a novelty for most people because I'm so quiet. I was constantly being told to sing for people, yet I couldn't do it (even when I had a guitar with me). But I did manage to get up on stage and sing and play a five minute song in front of over fifty people (twice). And I'm probably going to do it again in about a month.
Recently I've been reading Lords of Chaos: the Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground. I can look at the picture of Dead with his brain falling out of his head and not feel anything (I showed my friend and it gave him nightmares), but about a week ago I had this program at school about driving cars and road safety. Some people came in to talk about brain injury, how it happens and its effects. It made me feel sick. I wanted to leave the room, but I was worried that I would collapse in front of everyone as soon as I stood up, eventually I managed to get up and leave, and then I pretty much just collapsed onto a wall as soon as I was out of the room. So I guess discussing certain medical issues can make me really uncomfortable.
