No I guess some things really hold my attention/make a connection/I have a feeling for (?) and music's right up there amongst them.
Not everyone would say I've got that good a taste in music but.........
And- public speaking- no I'm just "me"!

But with the recording, you don't think you're making it a bit "formal" do you, all the emphasis on performing for.............??
Have you tried just running the recording for 3/4 hour or so (just as a bit of an exercise), throwing in different songs, whatever you're feeling at the time. Whatever YOU like. No pressure.
Forget an audience- the recordings just for you. Just "let go" a bit. Even have a break while the recordings running if you feel like it.
Then if you do that a few times in a week, then another week (?) and at the end of it run through your recordings and see if any particular song stands out for you to upload.
But think to yourself, for now, if you've got say one recording you're happy with in a month then that's great.

[And hey, when you're listening to them back, less of the self critic!!
If it helps/if you have to, imagine that's it's someone else playing, then what are you going to think? I'm guessing you wouldn't be as tough on someone else?? ]

And you know hopefully, you're just going to get used to the recording going on while you're playing and you can be more "yourself", it'll be a bit more natural. The recording itself is just yours, you can do nothing or anything with it.
And ultimately a big part of why you're playing is because YOU like it/feel it, isn't it? If you're coming across stuff to upload that's just a real bonus isn't it? You don't "have to" but you CAN if you're just thinking about being YOU.

I'm thinking that with a little less of the "staging" your greatness is going to show!!
