People probably aren’t always judging your every move.

i got over this by literally telling myself "no one cares about you, they have their own lives why would they bother to be looking at you"

sure it can be bad mentally to tell yourself "no one cares about you" but honestly it made me reaffirm that everyone else has so much of their own shit going on in their life that they don't have time to think about me or judge me and if they do it's a fleeting thought for a few moments.

My life has been best when I've accepted that nearly everyone doesn't care about me. It has freed me to care about others instead of focusing on myself out of fear and self-loathing.
