How to stop caring about what people think?

Ok, im like so paranoid about what people think about me. It sucks really, I mean its soo bad, that I wont go in like a gas station without taking an hour to get ready, put make up on, and fix my hair. I have even turned sweet guys down, because I was scared that someone would make fun of me or say something about it. My mom tells me to not listen to everyone else but its really hard when everyone around you is judging every little thing you do. Does any 1 have any advice?

Answer #1

People are only critical of others over things they are uncomfortable with in themselves. If you can understand that, it will free you.

Answer #2

OMG I thought I was the only one feeling like this…no matter what I am doing I feel like someone is always there watching me and making fun…that is just the weirdest thing

Answer #3

its really hard when everyone around you is judging every little thing you do

yes, EXACTLY. and guess what, that is NEVER EVER going to change. tough luck. there will always be haters, and there are ALWAYS people judging you no matter how gorgeous you look, and no matter how many pounds of make-up you put on. the only thing you can do is accept that that is how the world works, and get on with your life. you’re stuck with the looks you have, so you better shut-up and work it. you have to know that you’re gorgeous, or nobody else will. life is not worth living if you’re going to waste it by being paranoid, while you should be enjoying it.

Answer #4

well.. I understand how you feel. I somtimes feel that way.

but all you can do is have as much confidence about it as you can.

when I went through the whole “im scared you wont like mebecause I dont think im pretty enough” crap with my boyfriend. he told me “confidence is the sexiest”.

remember that. cause its sooo true.

but dont be in over your head with confidence either.. like thinking you’re the “queen” of the world. ya know?

&& I hate to break it to you. but, until the day you die. you’ll get judged. but you have to ignore it.

Answer #5

DONT WORRIE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT you LIKE IF SOME ONE CALL you A B THEN you GON WORRIE ABOUT IT, AND IF you WORRIED ABOUT SOME CALLING you LIKE A HOE THEN you MUST BE ONE SO DONT WORRIE.

Answer #6
