do you do better when people are watching you?

[Plume]

No!! I can barely function if someone is watching. I practically become useless.

 

[Chrysopal]

Um no.
Does any one?

 

[S.J.]

I didn't realise the poll question was different than the thread title, and clicked "no"! Sorry!

Having someone watching me do anything is super stressful, and I'm surprised the poll is split ~60/40!

 

[Kitsuragi]

depends on what it is, assuming it's games yes because i get the primal urge to show off
i also messed up the poll because i didnt realize the poll question was different lol

 

[Ghost Of Mascevanje]

No, I do better when no one is gawking at me (in general).

No I don't get stressed out. But I don't do better when someone is watching or not watching me. Depending on who it is doing the watching, it can be weird. And the situation. Like work, a boss or someone of that nature makes sense, but someone not in a managerial position (for lack of a better word) is kind of lowkey weird.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I don't think so... I guess it depends if I'm expected to be watched or not. When I don't expect it, I feel rushed, anxious, etc. when people are actually watching me. It throws me off and causes me to make mistakes.

I also voted incorrectly as well, sorry!

It's rather nerve racking to have someone watch me do stuff. It's like I magically get worse at something I otherwise do well.

Embarrassing example:
I remember when I was learning to rollerskate. Did really well after a bit but when I made eye contact with someone watching me, I instantly fell on my butt.

 

[Bluebellie]

I rather not have someone watch me. I do much better when I’m alone or keeping to myself. If I know someone is watching, I do get nervous and uncomfortable.

 

[KittenNoir]

I can not have people standing behind me as I will just keep making mistakes... it stresses me out

 

[nightglow]

No. I feel like I'm under a microscope and find it immensely distracting. Just leave me alone and check back later lol. I also don't like noise.

 

[Ravenkitty22]

I hate getting watched to do anything. You want me to prove I can do it? Go away and come back in like an hour. People watching does nothing but add stress and pressure

 

[daisyflowers]

it seems at some stage (no clue when) i clicked the yes answer, but it's defo now a no lmaoo
(a) not a fan of people/strangers watching / looking at me anyway. creepers
(b) nervousness and stuff

 

[Romaki]

No, I don't like that pressure.

 

[honeyaura]

Ugh, meant to vote yes lol
For as long as I can remember, if I’m keeping to myself drawing, as soon as someone starts looking over my shoulder I’d get nervous lol. This goes for many things.

 

[LuchaSloth]

I voted wrong, but I can't undo it. Lol

Read the title. Thought the poll was the same question. Voted. Then saw the poll was worded oppositely. Oh well. I failed today. Hahaha. - I don't necessarily get "nervous" when people are watching me...but I definitely don't "do better". I do my best when I am left alone. For sure.

 

[tbro13]

It's really hit or miss for me. I'm a musician and I used to perform when I was younger, and in that sense I feel like I did good when people were watching me. But now, I can't even correctly type a sentence if someone is watching (ie: asking for help from a coworker wording an email or something like that)

 

[-Blue-]

No. A few days ago I had some weirdo looking through the cracks and underneath the stalls when I was trying to use the facility. So I just left.

 

[LunarMako]

Absolutely,

NOT.

People looking at me make me very uncomfortable.

 

[SushiSxnpai]

I play piano, but I just seem to mess up more in front of people rather than being alone. Same with drawing, it’s an absolute nightmare!
