How often does the fear of what other people think stop you from doing something? The fear of what other people thought of me had kept me trapped for years. It had prevented me from from reaching my full potential and from enjoying life to its fullest at work. I was unable to voice my opinions for fear they'd be thought stupid
If I didn't care what other people thought about me, I would be much more comfortable and confident producing and putting my art and writing out there because at the moment, based on my current fear of what others think and my artistic perfectionism, I am resistant to all of the things I just said, but I am working on overcoming it and trying not to care about what others think more and more every day
What is it that I have to prove that I'm pretty and likable and all of that I wouldn't be beating myself up about things I should have said and done either at work or at home. I would probably not worry about people thinking that I'm not smart or talented enough so many things, so many things. I probably wouldn't go to the gym as well

And I felt this pressure to live up to these standards. And as a direct offshoot, I spent a lot of my time worrying about what others thought of me based on this framework, which was laid out for me when I was very young. And as I grew up, I realized that the societal standard for what it means to be exceptional is impossible to achieve

This is something I like a long time ago I thought I did, but apparently I'm still learning as we speak to let go of other people's opinions, to dismiss people that don't deserve my time or even show the decency to have my time. Good humanity, though, is creating that time just to see. So therefore why would people care?
