[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You need to realize you're not the center of everyone's universe and they're not looking at you that closely[/b]. When I run errands close to home, I often don't bring my phone. If I go for a walk for an hour, I leave my phone home. I keep the volume really low and if the phone is in a different room, I don't hear that there's an incoming text. So probably 75% of the time it takes me a while to respond. [/quote]

This, OP. While you feel like your self-esteem is low -- and it very well may be -- what you are describing is a person who is convinced that everyone in the world is obsessed with them. That doesn't sound very low self-esteem to me, in fact quite the opposite. So which is it?[/quote]

well low self-esteem and feeling self-conscious kind of go hand in hand. Your comment (pp) was pretty harsh and unnecessary.  If this person grew up in a family feeling criticized this is a pretty normal reaction to life.  It does not equate narcissism.  It does mean that she has some growing to do, which by the way, we all do.   [/quote]
