So i really like dancing and acting. I took some classes when i was in high school and i really like listening to music. I try to like act out the music videos and stuff because that's what i love doing, but maybe it's just me being overcritical of myself, but i feel like i look stupid or unnatural when i do it... and for some odd reason it's very hard for me to relate to the emotions of other people. Almost like there's a wall. Like if the song said " i miss you so bad" i can' t really relate to what they're saying so it's hard for me to act it out. Any advice?

For the first problem (feeling stupid), act out the music video in front of some family members/friends and see what they think.

For the second problem (hard to relate to emotions), try getting someone to help you do a simple way to act it out.

Hey,

First off, you probably shouldn't use the word "retard", even to describe yourself in that fashion. You run the risk of really offending someone who comes here to give you advice.

As for the missing emotional connection, you may want to try to watch different music videos to see what the actors/dancers/artists are doing (facial gestures, body language, etc.) in response to different lyrics and try to mirror that. If you build up a large enough repertoire you should be able to act out just about anything you want.

You have to look at everything in a more positive matter. If you feel that your awkward, it's because your thinking that way. Also, it's normal if you can't relate to how their feeling in the video. If you haven't experienced what they've gone through, then that's probably why.

Maybe you're actually very good and you're just too critical of yourself.
