Dear sister S
You remind me of myself when I was younger. I used to think that the whole world is watching me. Of course, nobody cared really about me, and what I was doing, but that was my impression. And there are many people like you and me all over the world. There are two main reasons why this happens to us:
1. Social Expectations and pressures whereby we are used to seeing and hearing people commenting negatively on simple things others do. As a result, everything seems little to us and we want to avoid feeling ashamed.
2. Lack of self esteem.
- How to get out of this loop?
3. Practice positive self speak and come up with your own personal mantra such as: " I am capable", " I can do it"
4. Share your feelings with someone close to you and have them role play a situation with you before you go to a place or do something in public.
5. Write about your feelings. Then write against your feeling. Then write your final decision then read it out-loud before you go and do it or say it.
