You simply do. Just disregard the thoughts of any negative comments. You don't have to care about what people have to say. Most negative thoughts are to put people down, and that should be avoided.

You have to realize that your thoughts are your own and it doesn't matter what other people think or feel towards your thoughts. You shouldn't worry about making other people think of you a certain way you need to worry about your own happiness and your own persona rather than waste time worrying about what others feel.

Don't worry about what others think. It is no ones life but yours. People are going to disagree but that's just life. Its best to say what you say, and feel what you feel, and don't care about what others have to say about it.

I believe that the best way to express thoughts successfully is to do so without much thought for the opinions of others. They are YOUR thoughts, so I think that whether you're creating art, putting together a debate or an essay, or just attempting to express your thoughts to a friend- you need to realise that this is your own point of view, and although you should take care not to hurt someone else's feelings, the main thing to focus on is the point that you are willing to make. It's easier said than done, but you've got to just take action and put your dreams into a place of realisation. Take a deep breath, have your best intentions at heart, and do what it is that you desire.

As someone who also struggles a bit with social anxiety, I totally understand that. I often think over what I'm going to say several times over before ever saying it. If you worry about what others think by habit, you'll probably find it pretty hard to change this. But with some practice, you should be able to improve. I would say start small and try not to rerun in your head what you said after the fact, as this often leads to regret and increases your vigilance the next time you think about saying something. Once you have improved on that, tackle bigger challenges such as improving the excessive worry and overthinking that occurs before you say anything. Its ok to struggle with it. I expect it will take some time as well. But you can do it! Remember your opinions and thoughts are just as valuable as others' even if they're different. I've found that I tend vastly overestimate the level of judging other people display. Most of the time, people are much nicer and understanding than I initially assume, as strange as that sounds :) Hope this helps, take care

I think we all naturally worry about what others think. But, it's important to know what you cannot say in front of certain people. You don't want to hurt others by what you say. But, it's okay to have your own opinion too. Sometimes it's not about what you say, but rather, how you say it

You decide to do so. These things are in ur control. Try to analyse it . U want to express it, there's nothing wrong in it. Keeping all inside is wrong. So express it and even after that if someone is making judgements or getting offended, try to explain them. Not more than once, just clear out what u meant. And if they continue to be so, it's none of ur concern. Be real .

Many people in the world don't talk to other people because they are afraid of being a burden or the judgment of others. Sometimes I have to remind myself that my feelings are valid and I have no control over what people think of me. Your story needs to be heard it could possibly impact people. Possible past experiences can be tied to why you have such a hard time expressing yourself, whether it's because someone didn't let you speak or maybe it's even your mind just telling you that you don't deserve to be heard but I promise you really do. I hope you'll be able to open up to someone you trust.
