Why do we have the fear of being judged?

The fear of being judged stems from seeking validation in other forms if we are not validating ourselves. Once we learn to love, respect, and accept ourselves, all other opinions simply don't hold as much weight anymore.

In my opinion, it is because people are less honest to one another. If we were, we would know that many of us share the some worries. The fear of being embarrassed , the fear of not being appreciated etc. The day everyone owns up to their vulnerabilities, we won't fear judgement as much. Because again no one is perfect and no one has life figured out a 100 %

Believe me, you're not the only one that can feel that but, maybe you're just not comfortable with the person around you or you're not comfortable with yourself. Just a matter of confidence . But not too much

I believe that our fear of being judged stems from our fear of being rejected or unaccepted. Ultimately, we want to be loved, seen, heard, and accepted for who we are.

I believe that it is a societal thing that we have a fear of being judged. Even since we were all kids, we have been told not to dress a certain way, because people might think this of us, or that of us. Being judged isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but for many people, it is about being concerned that they are viewed in a certain way, or that bad things are being said about us behind our backs.

Because we all want to fit in and be liked and feel accepted. It doesn't feel good to be made fun of or judged, especially if you're being yourself. But you can't live your life worrying about what other people think.

I sometimes still feel this fear, but not as much as I used to. I had/have the fear because it's like some part of me believes whatever the other person says about me. Like there is some truth to their words despite the fact they may not know me at all. When my personal foundation is rocky, I'm willing to believe what others think, but now that I've honestly gotten to know myself better, I don't think about it as much.

That's just one of the effects of anxiety. A lot of people suffer from it but some more so than others. But it's quite natural!

Because if you are negatively judged, you may become isolated and alone. I know this from personal experience. When I came out as bisexual a lot of my friends became uncomfortable around me and eventually stopped talking to me. To this day I'm still very careful of the words I say, things I do, and the things I let people know about me for fear of being negatively judged.

We don't want to get judged, because it really hurts, and it makes you feel like you aren't good enough.
