Since, I'm not over it completely, the only thing I can say is most people don't know I'm anxious unless I tell them or I have a really bad day and it's obvious.

I had some success with writing my feelings down and I've had a little success with reminding myself that it doesn't really matter what other people think as long as I am doing my best everyday and being the best person I can be.
My mother said that most people don't even think about us from one day to the next, but anxiety wants us to believe that all eyes are on us waiting for us to fail ,but I don't believe that is true of everyday people and those who go looking to point out everyone's faults ,well we don't really need their good opinion.
