Yes it can happen in different situations. Like the first time I had to play violin in front of people I was like 7 or 8. I wasn't even that nervous mentally but my body was shaking like crazy I couldn't even play normally because my bow was shaking back and forth over the strings so every note was like 3 notes instead XD. Then as I had to play in front of people all the time I never became nervous anymore not mentally or in my body. But then I stopped playing violin and years later I performed a rap song in front of like 100 people and I wasn't nervous mentally but my hand started shaking again because I wasn't used to performing in front of people anymore. There are also other situations when it can be more a mental thing like in dating if you're not used to rejection. I think with these things you just have to expose yourself to it and then you'll be fine. That's my experience anyway.

I sometimes get performance anxiety. It can be about something I have to do (or finish) in a week or more. Or it can be about something I have to do sometime in a day. I usually build up the importance of whatever it is all out of proportion to its actual importance. Or I get anxious about something hours before I have to do it. So the length of the PA can vary.

I played soccer my whole life and would get it before a game but once it started, I was focused. At the end of the game, I knew where I failed but I also knew it wasn't because I didn't try hard enough.

Very rarely. I try to stay focused.

Hmm not sure i do. Instead i just have adhd which sometimes results in me starting projects but never finishing them because i lose interest or something else took my attention away lol.

[Still-alive]

That said though i do recommend being self disciplined. Its good for your soul i find.

I haven't struggled with performance anxiety in years.
