View Full Version : I'm always self conscious about everything.

Everything-the way I look, the way I act, the way I do things. I always think that people are thinking bad things about me or talking behind my back. I don't like being in pictures, and all the ones with me in them look really bad to me. Even while typing this I am wondering what kind of thoughts people are going to have. Is anyone else like this? It sucks, my self esteem is completely obliterated.

Is this the right forum? if not, sorry D:

I feel the same way most times. I often have to mentally force my self not to care about what others think. Don't even get me started on public speaking even if it's not that public. For example speaking in font of the class..... that can be difficult for me because I can't help but think about what they think of me.


So you're not alone.

I get shaky when i'm in front of a lot of people or walk into a crowded room. There has to be a way to raise self confidence or whatever this is, it sucks to be this way...

I am the same way , AI don't like my physical appearance or the way I look , when I make a decision I am always second guessing myself. I have improved, I am not as bad as I was years ago, I still am self-conscious.

I would say, change your perspective. I don't have time to explain that now,perhaps in a later post, but you have to think of things in terms of what to be grateful for rather than what you don't have or don't like.


Also, I am the same way, I "hate" being judged, so I find myself to wondering what people think of me( when I am out in the public/ general population) more than I really should , and tend to assume that they are passing negative judgements off on me. In someway, who cares what they think. You don't know what they are thinking so don't beat yourself up over it.


Does that make sense? I hope I didn't misread your post, or read too much into it. But anyway that is just my opinion. I hope that it helps.

Once you become an adult you'll realize that these people don't matter and you're gonna find someone awesome. Their childish antics die once high school is over.

I am exactly the same :/ everytime i walk pass a mirror or a window i quickly look into it to see if i look alright, and im always touching my hair lol and I cant get in front of a big crowd even if they're all my friends. It scares me :(

yeah I have the same problem...especially in a room where there are tons of people, it makes me feel super claustrophobic so I start to freak out which makes me feel like people are looking at me even more :/

standing in front of crowds can be terrible if they're all friends...if they're strangers I'm okay, but friends I sorta lose my cool, which is terrible for a performer like me :/

but I'm learning to get past it, it just takes a TON of practice :/

I feel the same way, all the time. No matter what. But im starting to get to the point where im just stopping caring what people are thinking about. If they cared that much, they can show it in different, non negative way.

I dont know why but i dont feel the same way.I never care what people say about me.But maybe thats because i have been different for so long i got use to it and dont care anymore.

Just remember that they most likely feel the same way. Everyone does. At 22 I still feel that way going into work. You just have to realize that their opinion really doesn't matter. Other than your bosses of course.

Just remember that you're very far from being the only person with this problem, especially around this age. I'm sure everybody's got things they're self conscious about. I'm very self conscious, mostly about my physical appearance. It's just something everyone has to deal with and as you get older it'll get easier, because people really do stop caring once we're past these years of our lives.

Yeh, I know how this feels, I stand back and let others do things or make the first move. If I get really scared though I lose total control of my body and every part of me shakes almost as if I'm having a fit. I hate it, and feel so small whenever someone specifically asks me to do something.
