You are afraid of being judged. Of what other people are going to think about you. That is only normal.
But remember, you don’t want to be a People Pleaser. That is a weak person. You’re going to get haters. SO WHAT? Are you going to derive your happiness from external validation? Are you going to define who you are by what other people say you are?
- but there is nuance: you should get Feedback, you need people to Call Me Out On My Bullshit, but only from your close friends, from people who really care about you.
You know yourself better than anyone else.
