how can i get rid of this feeling?

Question

whenever iam in front of people in the street, i always check myself if my clothing is alright, if my hair is alright..and even if i go to a near shop, i wear jeans. if i go with shorts or casual wear, i get nervous that people are going to stare at me. how can i overcome this?

Answer 1

hey- i wear that stuff, too. be yourself and if someone rudley comments you they are also very insecure. compare yourself to others:

you have those not so matching ppls
you see those tatto goers
the overweight ones
the crazy ones
they all have their own problems about how they look. just remember that.

Answer 2

I understand that self conscious feeling. Here's a tip: before you go out of the house, look at yourself in the mirror. Hair combed? Clothes okay? Are you clean and neat looking?

Then go about your business and don't give it another thought. Most people, by the way, have so much attention on themselves, they are not going to notice much about you. Really, you're just fine.

Answer 3

I don't really understand your question. You feel comfortable in jeans but not nicer clothes? Or is it that you feel more comfortable in jeans than shorts because you either 1) don't like how your legs look 2) don't like to draw attention to your legs because they look good.

For either issue, just do what I do....stop caring about what other people think. They won't remember who you are just a few seconds after you pass by.

Answer 4

The more you go out in public in short or casual wear the less afraid you will be that people are staring...

...unless you're, like, real butt ugly or something...

Answer 5

check yourself into a psych hospital, you are obviously insane and in need of treatment.

YOU and the rest of the population. Relax, I do the same thing.

Answer 6

Don't look at your self in the mirror...!

Answer 7

you need more self confidence, don't let what others think bother you

Answer 8

you have self-esteem issues. just relax and dont be so paranoid.
