Who has done an IRL open mic and what was it like?

Bro I'm not self conscious, like - I don't put myself down because I think I'm bad or anything like that

#

But I did my first open mic a couple weeks ago and i

#

Fucked up SO BAD lmfao

#

I was so nervous. I went out of tune so badly. And then I fixed my singing and started forgetting my chords.. so I started remembering my chords and it made me forget my fingerings..

#

And I remembered my fingerings and noticed I was off key and singing like shit again..

#

It's a lot of things to juggle at once, but being nervous made it all just 4x harder than it is when I do it in my room......

#

I was AWFUL

#

But ultimately like. Even though I did really bad I kinda see it like.. I wasn't there to "be impressive", I was there to "level up my confidence skill so I don't fuck up that badly next time".

#

So it was ultimately a great and useful experience even though I was having cringe flashbacks for the next week.
