      Music doesn't have to describe your emotion. If I play sad pieces its genuinely just because they are beautiful. And being a performer like the guy in the video also helps. If an introvert is having fun at a piano you would have to look close to see that. Just because the music brings out an emotion out of you doesn't mean it's the same emotion for everyone.

You’re always going to be perceived as confident in an environment you “control” or feel comfortable in.
