I'm the complete opposite. My family members are judgemental monsters, so it's super easy for me to ignore the glances and snickers I get when I'm belting out "How it's done" (done done!) in the backstock room.

Huntrix don't miss!
I'm on vacation out of the country and that's the one movie I downloaded from Netflix before coming. So it's very fresh and I tend to listen to it to help me fall asleep. Which is what I ought to be doing right now but am not.
If you haven't experienced it on an OLED screen, do yourself a huge favor!
Sameee
Nah, I sing my weird songs around everybody, no shame around anybody.
Total opposite. People I know, I don't talk much.
Random crowd, I'll do a full on performance in front of them.
Absolutely! It's nice to find people you can be yourself with.
If the music is loud and I know the song, I'm singing it. Then again I don't exactly have a reputation for being normal so ya know
No. :( But I wish I did.
In front of family, absolutely not, their judgment matters the most and can have significant impact on everything.
It might even be the opposite. The judgment of a stranger, who i will encounter once for 10 seconds and then never again is completely irrelevant as it doesn't have any impact.
While I don't sing out loud at all or hum. Being free around others is strongly correlated to how big of an impact they can have on me, either financially, physically or mentally.
I’ve started singing in front of strangers. I’m not that good but I don’t care what anyone thinks. If I’m feeling good enough to sing, I’m taking it.
Nope, the dynamic in my family is most of us need some polite distance from each other and wouldn't be comfortable doing that.
No. I tend to be quiet but I've learned this often makes people uncomfortable. I don't need to talk around close family, but if I notice uncomfortable body language in a colleague after a long pause in conversation I'll try to come up with something to say.
I never sing though. Anywhere.
