So I played piano in front of some friends for the first time...

They have never heard me, because if I had my way no one outside the security of the internet would have, anyway they insisted that I show them something because I have been in this "piano stuff" for 1 and half year and basically become a hermit.
Which is not weird considering I am very self conscious and not very happy with my current skill level and this is pretty much their reactions:
I don't know what to think, if anyone is interested this is what I played.

How you looked while performing was more important than how you actually played.
Anyway, is that the actual performance of what you played for them? If so, I can tell you that the music was high on fluff, low on content. So in order to sell it, you had to look good performing it.

Sounds like a metal song transcribed for the piano
What was that? I presume you improvised or something...try to learn a piece, work hard(technically AND musically) and then your friends will probably look a little different.
BTW do you have a teacher?

Yes I do and no it wasn't exactly improvisation it reflects my own inner anxiety and feelings of the past months. And damper, I am freaking hawt I just look clumsy when playing cuz I feel awkward.
If you listen closely you an hear them breathing in the background...
