Stage fright, or life fright?

Question:

Stage fright, or life fright?

I'm not the person you think I am. If you know me, you think I'm smart and like reading, and that's about it. Everyone thinks I can't do anything but homework. I'm shy, so I never know how to break out of my shell and talk to people and tell them about myself etc. I'm disgusted with myself. I let myself get embarrassed easily, and it stops me from doing everything I want to do. I love music and acting and I really want to try out for our school musical, but I'm afraid I'll mess up and sound like a dork at the auditions. I know I can sing. I just know that I'll freeze up and freik out. Plus, my school is one of those places where popular kids decide who everyone is and if you know what's good for you, you don't mess with that. Everyone in my school thinks I'm one person, and I'm not. I don't know how to make people see who I am or change their Ideas of me, or how to try out for the musical without humiliating myself ormessing up the way things are. Any advice?
