Is it normal to be deathly afraid of what people think?.

for a while now ive wanted to get all my thoughts and problems out to someone. when i found this website i thought it would be a good place to start. when i got to the submission page i wanted to type everything, but i couldnt. my mind kept shouting, THERE GOING TO THINK YOUR F*CKING RETARDED YOU F*CKING MORON GET A F*CKING BRAIN YOU PEICE OF SH*T. i started to freak out. i couldnt even type a letter. ive always been afraid of judgement. even to the point of just removing myself from people. i dont know what to do or think.

    Oh God, that's a crippling feeling and one that I know all too well. Like being a prisoner in your own head.

    You shouldn't care about what judgemental people think. They don't really know you and they probably never will.

    If some says you're stupid for posting something, then just go on someone else's post and call them stupid. Then you'll feel better. I read this in a self help book.

    let people think you're retarded. sure, but there's going to be someone out there who is having the same problem or can help you with that problem

    ignore the people who bring you down just to make themselves feel good. just ignore them, words only do harm if you let them.

    Oh me too! I'm still guarded on some things. But I'm getting there. I guess it comes from my up bringing. I always got, "my God? What will the neighbors think?" or, "why do you think like that?". Or, always getting corrected on what I said. Telling me I should have said it different. It all just made me question my thoughts.

    But, this site and some life situations lately, have made me speak my mind more. people in my life are getting pissed off at me because I'm trying to not be a doormat. Your thoughts are just as valid as everyone else. So, say what's on your mind. I'm still a work in progress.

    Good luck!
