So, I'm not the shy type but I still have a few hang ups. One of which was singing in front of other people. Could barely sing in front of someone I was close to. Now I'm no champion singer but I don't blatantly suck either. So what ends up happening? I end up letting myself being talked into karaoke at a karaoke cafe.

Sweet Jebus I can't remember the last time I was so nervous. My legs were shaking but I went up there and sang "Save Me" by Shinedown and conquered a fear. Now I didn't sing it very good, but I wasn't painfully horrible. This considering I did a good bit worse since I was so nervous. It was actually kinda fun and I plan on doing it again sometime. Better and less afraid.

All in all it wasn't so bad and I'd say if you've got a fear of something similarly silly then you should just go for it. Better embarassed and having done it then being too scared or shy to do it.
