[Stroggy]

I was a Tenore lirico but had to stop when I became 14 as to preserve my voice.
I think after next birthday I'll be allowed to sing again since I haven't lost my voice.

But I guess all of us must be able to deal with our fears - but prefer to avoid them. If you have the fear of hights (as an example) you will avoid high places... But that doesn't mean you'll die of fear if suddenly you are stuck on top of a tree (don't ask me how you got there). You'll be forced to overcome your fear. Not pleasent but necesary and it halps if someone is there to lend you a helping hand.

Yes, you're right about it.
But it's a different thing if you will go on and start to fight the fear when there's real need to do that, or simply continue to avoid it and the situation where it will be asked to fight it and to be victorious, because you don't have enough courage for it. Even when there's someone that offers to help you. Even if it would destroy something important to you because you avoid it...

Well it depends...
If you are afraid of crocodiles the best policy would be to aviod them - not to try and stick your head in its mouth just so you could say "I did it - I'm not afraid any more..."
And your head would be singing inside the stomach of the crocodile "I ain't got no body..."

But if it's a everyday fear you must concure (like a fear of closed spaces, fear of dark,...) you must find a way to overcome it - otherwise it's your loss.

Exactly what I mean. If you don't overcome it now, it'll stick to you the rest of the life. It won't go simply away...

Well, I can control most of my fears....but not shyness....not yet. But I will.

Yeah thats the same for me. I'm pretty shy. When I'm with a group of people I don't know, I just sorta shut off and drift towards the corner of the room or behind everyone. It's just a bit awkward.

But I am getting better with it then I used to be. I can sometimes talk to people I don't know, and thats cool.
