    Default I'm a wimp

    After not working for almost two months, I came to the big city to work. Easy peasy five hour shifts sounded awesome. So I went in and at first I was like, "money, dancing, money, yay!!!" But there were an awful lot of people there. I mean, a lot more than I ever saw down by the river for the last couple months. Plus it was loud and the lights were wierd and people kept talking to me!! Whenever I tried to hide in the dressing room from all the people the other girls would start talking to me. Very sweetly, but so much talking was way stressful.

    So after five hours I left and I told myself I'd just go get some dinner and walk my dog and have a little break and go right back and work a few more hours.

    But I didn't. I went for a looong walk with my dog, and I found internet and obsessively checked Stripperweb and decided I shouldn't overwork myself.

    I'm such a wimp.

    I can totally relate. Five hours and I'm done and have to be outta there! I just can't take it all much longer than that! You're not alone.

    I wish more clubs would allow five hour shifts and make it worth while (ie not high fees associated with starting a little later for instance). I'm getting to the same point.

    Gosh... a 5 hour shift would be awesome. I have to be at the club at 8pm, on the floor/stage 9pm, and we usually work til 5am. There's no option of leaving early.

    You're not a wimp though, it's really hard to get back into it after a break.

    Ehh, you just got a little sensory overload after being in tranquility for a while. Go back and try again, you can do it for a few days

    Oh god I call that "group anxiety"...I've been getting it a lot since the slow season has kicked in, I think it has something to do with burn out, you may need to take a longer break from dancing until you've fully recharged.

    I usually don't work weekends bc I get terrible group anxiety with large crowds, everything seems to blend together and I never know who to talk to and I always lose site of good money...But I've been learning to push through it by taking 15 minute breaks after I make a certain amount of money...I also bring a book to work to keep my mind slightly off the job.

    So far it helps :{D

    I totally relate. People and the public make me break out in hives. It's rough being a stripper with that kind of social anxiety. Heh. We're only required 4-5 hours around here, and I rarely stay longer. When the crowds fill in, I'm done.

    I WISH I only had to work four hours. A four hour minimum would be great! I can stay longer if I want or I can leave if it sucks.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    yes agreed. well good luck today, don't let yourself chicken out. i have found shutting myself in a bathroom stall and taking some deep breaths and re-centering myself helps.

    Love it!
