What is this sickness called?

Why is it that we care a lot about how other people think of us? What kind of monster is this? Where does it come from?

When you are walking, you think everybody is going to judge how you walk..

When you are eating, you think everybody is going to judge how you eat..

When you want to say something, you think everybody is going to criticize you for what you are going to say..

When you want to do sth, you are afraid of making mistakes so that everybody makes fun of you..


You may think some of these are exaggeration, but there are really people who think this way...

Have you ever suffered from this? What did you do? Where does it come from? Is it even possible to overcome it?

Just tell what the heck is this? 😂

Too often, people do judge us for many things.
I quit caring when people made me feel I wasn't good enough to fit in and I shouldn't do the things I really like.
You do what's right for you and what you feel is right.

@SW-User We can never stop people from judging us, blaming us or making fun of us, we can not control others..

But can we control ourselves? Can we really stop caring about all this stuff?

Why not? I have nothing to lose. I'm not trying to impress anyone or find a date... I am on my own and doing what makes me happy. I feel if people don't like me how I am, I am better off on my own. I don't want to change or pretend to be how I am not. I have found that happy spot where I am fine with me. lol I still improve, but for myself.
Youthfulness, it'll pass after school means nothing in your life at all.
@Behnamhb1999m give it more time, it will pass

@checkoutanytime I hope so..

If it'll pass and if I change it, I will enjoy the hell out of my life. I think this is my only serious problem in life.. 😂😅
@Behnamhb1999m find what you enjoy, don't harm people or let them push your buttons, you are you and only you can make your life pleasant, other people will always be, don't bother thinking of them they do not think of you, my friend.

@SW-User Yes..but it's just really difficult to put it into practice.. You wake up in the morning telling youself,today I'm gonna stop giving a f what other people think about..but you just end up giving a f again and again!! 😂 Really frustraring!

@Behnamhb1999m ikr tbh im an introvert at heart but you cant live that way forever; yes you will burn many bridges but you need to repeat the same affirmations daily abt living for yourself and nobody else
Most people are too involved with their own lives to critique yours.

Think about true stories about very visibly strange things that nobody notices or reacts to.

I just read an article about a family with 13 children who lived in a development and nobody remarked on the fact that those kids were rarely outside. Bikes in the carport never ridden.

People are paying FAR less attention to you than you think.
At the low end it sounds like social anxiety. At the extreme end it could be in the realm of paranoia or a persecution complex.
But yeah I have had social anxiety and even paranoia once in life. Medication helps.

The opposite actually has a very simple name. And for a good reason!

Selfishness!
