Yeh, although I dont want to care what other people think of me I can't help it, I always worry about people thinking I'm wierd/strange cause of something I say or do

This is the main symptom of social phobia and the root of the problem. If we didn't worry about what others think of us then we wouldn't have this problem. I am always worrying about what others think of me such as; He/she probably thinks i'm boring, she thinks i'm ugly, he/she probably thinks i am dumb...Basically i get thoughts like these when i am in contact with other people.

Fuck what everyone else thinks! All that matters is what's inside. Self confidence = being confident about yourself. Self love = loving yourself. Once again, it's all internal. I wish all of the people who take meds would realize it, but then again, the industry would collapse.

This is not a disease, don't treat it like one.

I am always having a constant fear of what people think of me [duh, the whole reason for me posting here].

I hate when people say "Well, at least you don't know them, or they don't go to your school" so if you do something embarrassing, it shouldn't matter? Erg, well, it matters to me. I still worry what people think, even if I've never seen them before ever.
