I played a show last night. It was one of the largest audiences I have played for to date. While it felt good in the moment, I must say afterwards I felt all kinds of weirdness.
Kinda like I was lost, and floating , overwhelmed, let down maybe? I don’t really know how to describe it. It was an overall positive experience. So why was I feeling this way ?
The only thing I can think of is a “vulnerability hangover “
If you Google this term you’ll find this :
“Vulnerability hangover is a term used to describe the unpleasant feelings you may have after sharing your deepest emotions, needs, or desires. Opening your heart to others can be scary, and it's normal to have doubts and second thoughts about being so honest.”
Maybe that’s what I was experiencing ? I have felt similarly before, when I release music . But never this much . I hope it gets easier the more I do it . Right now the feeling is enough to make me not want to continue . It’s so uncomfortable !
All for now .
