Think that when you go out, everyone is looking at you, judging you?

Same as hut321, but the only reason I go out is to be the designated driver other then that I'm home on my couch

Hey its the same with me just that im a guy and i am really down on confidence and i hate going out and i feel depressed so dont worry you are not the only one. Cheers for both our life to get better

Totally normal for someone with social anxiety. I had the same thing and took anti-depressants for a while and I overcame it. Not recommending it, but it's just what I did. I realized that most people don't even notice me at all, so I was creating the whole thing in my mind.

I've always struggled with bashfulness. Lately Ive found out it has a lot to do with one's ego. A good gook to read is "There's Nothing Wrong with You" by Cheri Huber.

Learning to reveal yourself can be hard, but it's the only way to really connect with others, if you show humility and allow yourself to be vulnerable.

Talk to your Dr about depression and look into cognitive therapy because you can change the unrealistic way you think about yourself and other people.

perhaps you shouldn't be so self obsessed and self centered that you think the entire world revolves around you

same. totally normal.

I think I am not at all self-conscious because of poor eyesight and can't see if anyone is looking at me :o) So if you normally wear glasses, don't put them on when you go out.

Seriously, you need to realise that people are only interested in themselves and their own lives. I'm sure that if you slipped and fell on your butt you would get no more than the odd glance and then people would continue chatting to their mates.

Chill out. Life is too short for you to allow other people to determine whether you go out or not. Unless you are drop dead gorgeous, you're unlikely to be noticed in a crowded room. A good idea is to ask people questions about themselves coz people love to talk about themselves.
Good luck - get out there and socialise!

Look up Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).. If you feel you might have it; consult a doctor.

I feel like that sometimes, and it sucks. Most of the time, though, it really doesn't bother me.

i think i have same problem.

Wow, thanks everyone for the awesome comments. And joybird, I felt so much better after reading your comment. Thank you so much. I know it's all inmy head and you're right, people are just interested in themselves.
Bruce72 - I don't really want to waste my time telling you what you already know. You're pathetic.
