Everywhere i go, i feel like i dont belong. I hide my face with my hair i feel ugly. I worry myself sick what people might think of what i look like or something. I hate going out into public. And i am very shy. Is it normal?
I don't know if it's normal but I get nervous when I'm by myself in public. Especially at red lights, I think that everyone is watching me and it makes me uncomfortable. When I'm walking somewhere by myself I feel very tense b/c I think everyone is looking at me!
I think it's quite arrogant to think you're so important that everyone is looking at you and talking about you ;o)
That was just a little twisted logic for you to consider.
Seriously though, don't put yourself down. Hold your head up high coz you have as much right to breathe the air as they do. In fact, people are usually so wrapped up in their own lives that they don't notice others at all.
Here's the way I look at it.... What do I care what people think of me? I'm not asking them to pay my bills or support me so it doesn't matter if they like me or not! In truth, I tend to zone out and sing to myself so that I neither see nor hear other people and their opinions.
Good luck! Remember that confidence is very attractive!!
That is very true! I like your logistic input on this. Wish I knew how to zone out. I might be way to cautious of my surroundings, I can't be totally relaxed when walking alone because I always feel as though someone is judging or catching an unappealing glance of me.
You're probably right to stay alert when walking on your own but when walking round the supermarket don't pay any attention to anyone else. I think I just have so many things on my mind that what other people are doing or thinking just doesn't register with me.
As I said, I sing to myself but I encourage kids to rhyme their tables. So all you need to do is find something repetitive to concentrate your mind on... then you've zoned out from other people.
Anyway, they have their own insecurities too so don't worry about them :o)
I'm the same, that's why I always ride my back when I'm going outside because then I can speed by without people noticing me. I don't know, I just don't want people to judge me without them personally knowing me.
We all worry about what people think but you've let it go too far.
90% of how people perceive us is determined by how we perceive ourselves. Ironically, by worrying what others think, you're losing what you want.
Control what you think. Allow yourself to see only what's good about yourself and you'll find it changes how people treat you.
It's normal. However, once you stop giving a fuck about what people think, life is so much easier! More carefree, and comfortable. Easier said then done though, right? Doesn't mean we should stop trying :P
It's normal but don't worry about it. Everyone has a little bit of a worry about how other people percieve them.
Out in public, I could care less, but at school it's like the complete opposite. Just don't even acknowledge others existence if you're that worried.
Everyone worries about what people think and people who say they don't are telling lies. Wen all have our hang ups x
