How do I stop stressing out about what people think about me? The more insecure I am, the harder it is...

The trick is understanding yourself and what you like and don't like. Be confident in who you are. If you don't like yourself... then who can ever give you enough confidence to make you not feel insecure?

I think the only way to really stop stressing about what people think about you is to put yourself in situations that you would otherwise avoid. Á lot. Try to pick the situations that cause you anxiety but where you know the people won’t criticise you terribly. I think that when you endure a lot of that kind of situations your perceptions of people’s judgement change. You might realise that most humans do not want to make you feel like shit. ‘The ones who are hurting and do not understand how to feel their own pain choose to inflict it on others’-Emery Allen Or they are just stupid… It’s not Always/most of the time about you. I think only trying to change your thoughts won’t help to rewire your brain. You have to choose the environments where you want to be, because they make you feel loved. Of course it’s as well important to be conciousness of your thoughts. That sometimes a thought that enters your brain does not have to speak the truth. That you’re allowed to not listen to your brain. You can try therapy as well, if that seems helpful to you! Or read selfhelp books/sites/articles. I hope you will be able to believe you can do it

People think whatever they wish to by making their own judgments and opinions. They will think something or the other about you no matter what. You'll go crazy if you'll think about it. Someone said this to me, "It's the job of people to think something or the other about you. Now, if you start doing their job. Who'll do yours.?" Relax and concentrate on yourself and your goals. You are the best and you know it. :)

Really their thoughts are just a figment of their imagination, and does not reflect reality. It's nearly an opinion that is affected by mood. If they are having a bad day, they might have more poor opinions about things compared to a good day.

Try writing a journal about your insecurities and go over it with someone close to you whom you trust.

It's is a natural thing for one to feel uncomfortable around people who they do not know or in large crowds. The best way to overcome this fear is to love oneself from the core of one's being. To be proud of oneself and being confident. At times, just having a thought in mind that" the other people are my friends and they love me " can help a lot. A cheerful smile can also help one calm down.

It can be hard to deal with the stress of what people are thinking about you, because it's something that you cannot control. Learning this, is the first step...as hard as it may be! But I know you can do it.

You are feeling insecure and this causes you to stress out about how others see you. It sounds as though this is a problem for you at the moment.

It's hard to accept yourself sometimes, but you just need to remind yourself that you're BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL and deserve a happy life

In my personal life,I have found that once I loved and accepted myself. The only opinion about me that mattered was how I thought of myself. What I discovered, is once I loved and valued me I became secure in who I am. I now no longer stress over other people's opinion of me.
