Small Talk Makes My Skin Crawl

There’s a specific kind that I avoid at all costs

According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right?

This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.

~Jerry Seinfeld

I have no fear of public speaking.

None.

I wish I could say that it’s because I’m so brave that things like public speaking just don’t bother me when it terrifies most people.

The reality is that public speaking, as well as performing music on stage, is my safe little bubble where I’m not required to engage in small talk.

I try to avoid it like the plague.

I’d rather go tandem skydiving naked.

I’m not internationally known — but I’m known to rock a microphone
