i worry too much of what other people think of me, what can i do to stop this?

Answer 1

You seem to suffer from a lack of self-confidence. A couple of suggestions.

1. Get involved with something you know you can do well----and then go and do it. It will help you in two ways---you will begin to concentrate on what you do best, and thus take your mind off of unnecessary factors like other peoples' opinion. Second, as you gain confidence, you will only worry about how to improve, not what other people think.
2. Prioritize your relationships---who is the most important one or two people in your lives. Learn to please or impress only them, and mind only their observations and suggestions. The others? Well, they matter but not as much.

Answer 2

I would talk to a pyschotherapist, preferably one that doesn't immediately want to prescribe drugs to you (holistic marriage and family therapist or something of the sort). The last thing you want is for this worry to start taking over your life or have it turn into a more serious form of anxiety. You don't have to be 'crazy' to go see a therapist, they are there to listen to you and help you. Sometimes just talking to someone helps sort out the things you can and can't control to give you some relief. Sounds like you have been thrust into a position of primary caregiver for your parents which isn't necessarily fair. You need to have the freedom to build/create your own life. Other things to do would be to take time for yourself to relax. Write some things down that you feel relax you, and make a habit of doing those things at least once a day. Get a massage, take a walk, go to the gym, take up yoga, whatever makes you most happy and most relaxed.

Answer 3

then make sure they are always thinking good things about you. the less judgemental you are about others the less they will be of you. I only worry about what others are thinking when I know I should be. If I am wearing something that I am not comfortable in then I think the whole room is staring. If I made a nasty comment about someone else then I am positive there is one floating out there about me. If you go with the don't give a *hit attitude then you could hurt others. Treat others the way you wish to be treated and it will come.

Answer 4

The real question is: What do you think of yourself? Most people are really NOT thinking of you all that much. They are perhaps wondering what impression they are making on others. It's all so silly!! Just be yourself and let the chips fall where they may.
The only people who REALLY care what you say or do, are your family, close friends, and God.

Answer 5

Love your work and the people. Because all people thinking same for you. Its only solution. You make one rule and keep follow.

Next day to search what mistake you done an yesterday? Try to its never happen again. Now All of them looking and thinking about you for what? we are follow her rule ok.
Take care

Answer 7

That's a hard question because a lot of my friends are like that.I don't exactly know how to answer your question but we should be comfortable with ourselves and enjoy what we like to do instead of thinking that the girls over there don't like the way you dress.I hope this helps:)

Answer 8

Oh I have this problem too. I focused on getting my self esteem and approval from within myself, so that I won't be dependent on external approval. If you approve of yourself, then it doesn't matter what other people think. So I recommend taking stock of your excellent qualites and strengths. Then focus on loving yourself. If you do this, you'll feel better anyway, so it can't hurt to try!

Answer 9

Honey, increase ur confidence,trust urself people always talk let them talk but tell urself that ur beautifull more than anyone and ur intteligent and that u don't care what people say but rather see urself on top of everything.I am sure u wont feel that way ever.

Answer 10

think of it this way:
people are going to talk about you REGARDLESS- they will talk about your hair, what you are wearing, etc. but they will talk about you. and eitherway it wont matter what they think of you the next day right? or a week from now or a month from now.. and so on.
I used to be the same way as you were... eventually it will die own but you have to remember that people will do what they will. just let it go thru one ear and out the other. it does not matter anyways. it is waht YOU think that matters.
