Why do I always have that constant fear of being judged by the way I look or act or even speak?

I think everyone has a fear of being judged by their appearance or the way they act or speak, I think the problem is that because we all have that fear we all find ourselves constantly thinking about what the OTHER person thinks about US. What we don't realize is that they're spending all that time wondering what you are thinking of them. If you find yourself worried, take a deep breath and talk as though you aren't considering what they are thinking.

Fear is a natural part of the human condition. None of us ever want to experience fear or have it be a part of our lives. However, when it happens, we have to be ready to face fear head on. Although, we can't control what others think of us, we can certainly control how we feel about ourselves. Self-love and confidence is key. We can't have one without the other; once we learn how to have a healthy balance between the two, what others say or think about us becomes irrelevant to who we are and our journey towards personal growth.

Insecurities. It's all because of insecurities and the lack of self-esteem. You have to build up some confidence and acceptance about how you are born and care less about the people who judge you because not all people are nice, some are just superficial and judgemental.

Now a days in media and life people always judges and makes you feel that you are not good enough. They do this for their own benefits whether it is to sell their products or to just feel better about themselves. So always remember that you are the key to your own self confidence and happiness.

All humans seem to always be very aware of what others think. It's not something we do for attention, but because we feel the need to fit in, or we're afraid to disappoint others. Maybe it wouldn't be like this, if we talked about it, but I think many people are ashamed of fearing and talking about their fears.

From my experiences, and everyone is different, this feeling stems a lot from what we are led to believe about ourselves. I know I was always comparing myself to "that girl" in my mind she was always everything I wasn't. Self esteem can be tricky, but over time I learned to love myself and I know anyone can learn in time. I still have bad days, but that's ok!! It's ok to not be ok. I know in my life, I never had anyone to tell me that and it was a blessing when I finally learned it for myself.

It is a normal part of being human: as social beings, we depend on and thrive with the opinions of others, because they can make or break our belonging to the group. That said, though, we tend to give too much power to those opinions: in a society with groups as big as ours there are very few people that will really make a difference in how and if we are accepted. We are not living in very small communities where one individual's rejection may cause our expulsion, most of the time it is way more irrelevant than we believe. Thus, be yourself, trust your ideas and preferences, and grow as a unique person with unique ways of living, thinking, dressing...
