As someone else said for themselves....I pretty much perform out of necessity. My songs aren't written with having someone in mind to perform them. I really never wanted to be a performer, but I've become comfortable with it and actually look forward to it and enjoy it most of the time.

As a songwriter, I really think it is a benefit to perform your own songs regardless of whether you want to be a performer for the song or you have someone else in mind. The audience feedback towards the song being performed is good, but there's also a connection you have to relaying a song that you have written that no one else can get - something that can't be explained in words - it's a 'you have to do it' type thing.
