I Care Way Too Much About What People Think About Me

Does anyone have any advice on dealing with this irrational fear I have? I worry about how others see me ba<x>sed on how I act and what I wear. I don't act like I would with someone I know well, and I don't wear what I think I would like to wear. When I'm with someone I know well, I can be outgoing or fun, but with others I'm quieter than a mouse. I see other guys wearing way better clothes than me ( I dress so plainly) and I sort of get envious. While I may want to wear what someone else is wearing, I get a great fear that someone will be thinking "oh my god he looks terrible in that".
What do you think about all this? :/

I understand your feelings completely, and I feel this way sometimes too, so you're not alone. People may not like how you act or dress, but they may think your confidence in wearing what you want and being who you want is dope. I don't think people care as much as we think they do. I know I'm worried about myself 99% of the time, so I feel as though most people may be on the same selfish boat. Also, life is too freaking short to worry about how others see you. You can never control that. You only get one life and adding this extra stress to it is not helping you live it to the fullest now is it? Best of luck!

Forget about clothes and looks and what people think. It is shallow to concentrate on your abd other people looks when what can make you truly happy is judging yourself and others from what is trasured in hearts. To be honest as long as you shower and smell good you don't have to worry much. People won't make coment on your clothing they will judge from what's inside.

I encounter the same problem and no one seems to know this side of me since now that I think of it, no one really knows me well at all! The thing is, why would those who do so little, matter so little and treat you so poorly in your life make such a huge impact on your thoughts and actions? I, myself and struggling to grasp this difficult thought as well. Good luck :)

i think that "well, he doesnt control my life. who cares what he thinks? i can do what i want. i dont owe him." there will always be someone who is like that. read the story about a father and son with a donkey? life is exactly like that.

Nowadays I started grooming down a little bit so that I don't get attention from people, whenever I go outside. I feel so strange and weird if all people are looking at me.

Ya just gotta learn that people's opinions don't mean anything. Go with what you believe... but be willing to change those beliefs if something is better.

I found this ask.fm that seems to help people with advice. I just thought I should tell people www.ask.fm/StepIntoMyOffice
