    Default I'm having anxiety at work BAD!

    I'll just keep this short but lately I've been having the WORST anxiety at work. I don't know why but I've just been feeling uncomfortable dancing for people lately and being naked in front of them. I know it is affecting my money, perhaps people can tell like I'm really not happy to be dancing which makes me feel even MORE self concious but I'm not really sure where this is coming from. Maybe it's age related because I'm turing 28 next month but i don't really think so because most dancers make better money the older they get. What is going on with me? Why do I hate being naked all of a sudden? I'm not really sure if it's boredom or what but I feel so disatisfied with my work life...I have to continue dancing untill I get my degree so quitting really isn't an option but does anyone have any mental tricks or some advice that would make me feel positive about dancing again?

    For the most part I love my job, but there are sometimes hwen I dont want to get naked. If one person in the room has been particularly rude to me, i sometimes have difficulty getting topless for my second song on stage. If it is dead and i dont see any potential customers in the room, then I just untie my top and dance lamely on the other side of the stage while covering my boobs iwth my hands. However, if there are other potential customers i try to focus on them and tune out hte rude asshole.

    Have customers been particularly rude to you lately? If they have been, maybe for the next week only dance to custoemrs who are polite to you. Maybe it will hurt your earnings, but if it helps you get comfortable dancing naked again then it might be a worthwhile investment. If your club is only full of obnoxious assholes, maybe you should relocate.

    Also, if it is the exhibitionism that is bothering you, then you could try to move to a club that covers more. Maybe if you are in a nude club, try out a topless club for a bit. Or if you are in a topless club, try a bikini bar for a bit (although bikini bars are not always the best). You could also try switching to air dances.

    Is it a body image issue? If it is, maybe getting a nice spa day and doing your makeup extra nice or putting on a fake tan will do the trick to make you feel like a goddess again.

    Best of luck!
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    How do you feel about your body, your self image? Have you gained/lost a lot of weight? Do you think that has anything to do with it?
