Why do we have the fear of being judged?

Because society is mean, and whatever we do is never enough, or wrong. Unfortunately, people don't understand how much words and judgements hurt...

I fear being judged because i always believe that im not good enough. Im scared that other people will validate that feeling so i avoid being judged. I didnt always feel this way, when i was young i didnt ever consider what others thought of me. I have no idea why i do now.

Because we see it happen or have had it happen to us before. People are mean, and we want to defend ourselves from it but we get worried. People tells us to just ignore it, but with anxiety and depression, it makes it 10x harder.

Why do we care about it is the question. We shouldn't be scared of judges because we know who we are

I guess sometimes, we worry that we might not be good enough. The fear of being judged might just be a deviation that comes from the fear of not fitting in and that's all we want as Human beings, to belong and be accepted.

I think being judged makes us feel like we have somehow failed. We have failed at being something we didnt know we should be. So we are confused and scared, becuase we arent really sure.

It can possibly be your anxiety! It's not and to have anxiety and it's not you. You're disorder is not you, you're completely separate from your disorder :)

If we are fearful of judgement, we are usually rooting ourselves in outside perspectives instead of owning our full self. This is usually a root of a self esteem issue and searching for approval from others instead of searching for approval within. If that is not the case, we find that we are in fact the ones judging ourselves by standards that we have issues with personally.

We are raised in a society of formalities and rules. If we do not adhere to those aforementioned criteria we are considered outcasts and undesirables. This creates a divide in our society wherein peoples who are different, unique or trouble are lead to believe they are in some way lesser people or indeed not people at all. This causes us as humans to fear doing anything that might go against social norms or the given societal morality, because we know that if we break these unspoken mandates we will be not only admonished and made to feel worthless but we may as well lose our status or accepted place in a given social group, therein isolating us and further reinforcing the feeling that we do not belong and are again outcast or undesirable.

B.C everyone wants to find their place here andto feel like they belong. Being judged prevents that.
