What will they think of me?

What will they think of me? This question destroys dreams, lowers self-esteem and paves the way for some of the unhappiest people in the world.

Are you the person that people think you are? Or do you let them see only a persona carefully created to increase your likeability? Do you tiptoe through life, saying and doing only what other people will find acceptable?

The fear of what others think of you can be paralyzing. Fear of social judgment can cause you to suppress what you think, stifle what you feel and hold you back from what you really want to do. All because someone may think it’s stupid, inappropriate or disapprove of you.
