I know how that feels, actually. Everybody I know thinks I'm a great singer, so my Grandparents (my grandma specifically) has me sing for church events and stuff.
I get the same feeling all the time.....it's just compounded nervousness (or anxiety, which is basically the same thing). Tell your Mom (or other people you trust) how you feel, in detail, if you haven't already. Talking about it helps a little.
If it really gets bad, or you start to feel like that about more things than just those, then it'd probably be good to talk to a therapist. Unless it's chronic anxiety, then you can actually work through it without any sort of 'treatment.'
I'm seeing a psychiatrist partially because I feel constantly nervous for no reason, and it sometimes makes me snap at my family.....also for other stuff, but I'll try to stay relevant. XD
Anyway, hope you can find a way to work it out.

Thanks, Zoomer. I think I do have some kind of anxiety. I've talked to my mom about it before and she thinks I do too. I dunno if I need a psychatrist or not yet, I guess I'll wait and see. It's just weird that I have such low self esteem because a lot of the time it's like, I KNOW I have talent (in certain areas, of course), but then at others I think I suck...*Shrug*

Same here, actually. I know I'm good at a few things, but others I just can't do....drawing, for instance. Also, I don't like the sound of my own voice, which is weird. :I

Don't let it get to you Amanda. It's normal to feel like that sometimes. Take a deep breath, and do it.
I felt like that many times (When I presented a sketch for a school's show or did improvisation.) but in the end, I stay positive. Talk to your parents and others, don't keep it to yourself.
Everyone as talents. No one "sucks". Those are facts. =D
I know I draw well but Zoomer, I can't build computer. I can't sing either (My sister has a beautiful voice nonetheless. I though mine was good but when I heard a record of it, I sounded like a gansta rapper. xD).
But if you need to talk Amanda, there's no shame in talking to a psychologist or a therapist as it's their job to help people out. Again stay positive and don't let anxiety decide for you. (Hope it helped even a little. Coming from an unknown person. =D)

Stress, feeling that you might screw up.
No cure. Just work with it.

If we had to see a psychologist every time we felt some stress, we'd be a nation of foam mouthed, raving maniacs.
The truth is, you have low self-esteem because of how YOU see yourself. Not others. You judge yourself without knowing the thoughts of the people around you. How amazing it is that the little lies we tell ourselves can hurt us so.
You went to the audition, and you posted this anyway. You're stronger than you think. That doubt you have, is just a self told lie. Remember that. It's a LIE.
Become stronger.

Tons of people start to p*ssy out whenever they're faced with a high-stress situation. So, you can either become a statistic or get of your ass and change that.

[W]e'd be a nation of foam mouthed, raving maniacs. Have you been watching the news lately? Anyway, yeah. If it's not actually stopping you from doing stuff, you probably don't need to see a professional about it. Not saying the anxiety isn't a problem, but it sounds like a problem you've been able to handle on your own so far.
