Bravery

In my real life, I have trouble standing up for myself, and trouble being courageous, generally.

Why is it that it's so much easier in character at a LARP? I mouthed off to someone powerful, chewed out someone for his behavior, and went into battle, all during the game. Where's that courage in real life?

It's there. If it wasn't there, you would never be able to do an audition or perform.

The problem is that you have convinced yourself it isn't there, so you don't take bold steps unless you are wearing someone else's hat. You just need to keep telling yourself that courage comes from inside, not from a costumer.
