My alterEGO

A conversation I had earlier this week got me thinking about myself, as a Gemini I was born with spit personalities which sounded alittle far fetched, but after conversing with some about music and how when performing their persona completely changes I thought about this introspectively.
And after pondering this for some time, I did notice a certain swagger, and charisma that the everyday Ron Thompson doesn't have.
I've come to the conclusion that at some point in my life I began developing a second metality that only came out when I performed, To be frank I don't have much self esteem, and I'm not quite as confident as I let on. But when I get on stage and can "zone out", my "Alter-Ego" takes over and I become what every character, or person I need to be, weither I'm acting in a play/movie, or playing in a music group. I just find it so fascinating how I can transform so drastically so quickly. I also wonder if anyone else has any moments like this.hmm..

  1. I think I'm the exact opposite. I'm normally a confident,charismatic person, but when it comes to performing I lose that bombast and confidence.

  2. I think I'm on your side of the fence (sorry, Shaq). When push comes to shove, I'm generally reserved, but when it comes to jumping out of the plane and holding a crowd, it's no problem. It's an actor thang.

  3. I'm with Shaq on this one. I'm usually very animated and friendly. Once the attention is on me, I get really shy. I wonder what causes this difference from person to person. Hmmm.
