Answer 1

I too am subconscious about myself. It's hard to get over, it's a personality trait.

Answer 2

Yes, this is much more common than you think. It has happened to me and also to others. Excessive self-awareness is not abnormal, but it can be unpleasant. You feel that people are judging you and criticizing everything you do. Actually, even though it seems that way, everyone else is pretty much absorbed in their own problems and the image they're trying to create. And in fact, they may actually be looking up to you, not down on you. You are probably your own worst enemy, so stop trying to be so perfect. If you want to skip rope backwards -- hey, that's great. How do you do that? I couldn't do it if my life depended on it. I can't even skip rope forward.

Fear of failure in an exam, is universal. Everyone hates exams. Just take a deep breath and do the best you can. Study before the exam, so you'll at least be prepared. You may not get all the right answers, but at least you'll know you did your best.

There's no instant remedy. You just need to develop more self confidence. Tell yourself that you're a (wonderful, great, smart, fantastic -- fill in the blanks) person, and pretty soon you'll start believing it. Believe in yourself, dear. You're very unique, and there are people who love you and believe in you. Once you develop a sense of self worth, you'll be able to lick tigers. I have faith in you.

Answer 3

Your problem is fear. Once you disarm the fear, everything becomes easy. The anitdote to fear is faith - faith in your self, faith in your future, faith that good can come from any negative situation. Here's a little bit of other info on self-consciousness that might help:

Self-Consciousness vs. Self-Awareness
Self-consciousness is often the result of past hurt causing anxiety. For some reason the person doesn't feel they measure up. Their focus, unlike most other peoples which is outward, has been turned inward. Everybody else lives their lives almost unconsciously, and with ease, but for the person who struggles with inferiority it isn't that way. Everything in their lives revolves around them because that is where their focus is. To stop this destructive pattern of living a person needs to identify the reasons why their focus is on themselves. Once the reasons are exposed, they can then work at resolving those reasons so that they can once again turn their focus outward and live a more stress-free automatic lifestyle. To do this, however, will require that a person breaks old destructive habits of believing and replace them with healthy ways of believing. That is where self-awareness come in. A person needs to develop a heightened self-awareness of what they are doing so they can catch themselves whenever they begin to drift to destructive ways of thinking and acting, and then consciously choose healthy ways. By doing this they will no longer be in the control of automatic negative impulses that have carved their way into that persons way of living. The person begins now to take control of their own reactions to life and starts to consciously think and act in ways that bring freedom. Over time these new reactions become habits and will no longer need to be consciously done because they become automatic. In this way life becomes easy and enjoyable once again.

Hi Catty,

Damn, I can't skip rope AT ALL, so you're one up on me, hunny! Deep breathing usually works to calm nerves. Praying is helpful. If it gets to be a really bad problem and interferes in your life, you could see a therapist. Lay off coffee and tea. Get good rest and exercise regularly. That's all I have, I know it's not much...

Love, Jack
