How are you in public (but not online)? I think I do better in an online setting for some reason. I can be focusing on some random spot other than the people on my monitor but to them it looks like I'm looking right at them. I'm better able to get into my flow without being constantly aware of their reactions, or lack thereof. I do less well in front of live groups. Better I think if I'm on stage with a big light making it more difficult to see the audience. Curious what your experience is.
