Are you being self conscious?

[Lord Chin Chin 1,209]

Welp here's my first ever topic 😳

I will get things rolling, in person im self concious how i look. If im walking out and about and people look at me i get a bit embarrassed and start fiddling with my hair and adjusting my clothes lol.

Even during my martial arts classes im worried how I look in a nervous sort of way not narcissistic 😕

Do you guys have any tips to overcome this or stories about how you overcame it in your life?

Or are you confident in how you look and dont two cr*ps what othets tbink?

Let me know 🧐

Edited the topic title to be more general.

 

 

Yes I am often self conscious, especially when I am thinking too much. I guess the only way to not be is to not care, or to try to think about other things. Easier said than done.

Yeah, there are definitely moments where I can be quite self-conscious. It was a lot worse back in high school, but I've grown to realise that if people judge you for dumb reasons, they're honestly not worth your time or effort.

I often get self conscious about my abilities even when I am doing well at something

[Pandora 38,015]

all the time but that is kind of mainly due to my past - history of being bullied still haunts my mind on a daily

[Magic Note 2,748]

Same here. I didn't exactly have an easy upbringing and I'm often harsh about myself because of it. That's why I am very self-conscious.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,331]

Yeah all the time. I overanalyze and overthink everything. Eventually I'll become comfortable around someone, but it takes time.

I get self conscious when I stutter or get tongue-tied, which happens a lot when I get tired. Sometimes I can’t get words out at all, but burst out an involuntary “Ueh!” sound instead, which is really weird when you hear it for real. It’s incredibly embarrassing and I don’t even know how it started because I used to be a great speaker.

I'm the type who doesn't care what other's thinks but yes most of the time, I can be a self-conscious person. I tends to say or do things without giving a second thought if it's harmful or not. So I often tried to be more self-conscious about that part of me before saying or doing something. Sometimes it's a fail though.

Being self-conscious is my default state of mind. It's quite a problem indeed.

[daviddaviddavid 776]

I'd say I'm never self-conscious but I'm always self-aware. There's a difference between seeing problems that aren't there, and being aware enough to deal with problems that *are* there as they come (imo)

[Chanson-DeGeste 11]

I have major social anxiety so I'm definitely self-conscious whenever I am in public
