[quote=Anonymous]You can retrain your thinking, OP. I'm sensitive and anxious, but not a people pleaser. It took me until I was about 30 to get to the I-don't-give-a-fuck stage. I grew up with hypercritical parents. My mother was rejecting and picked on me, and would control me by constantly saying things like, "Everyone's staring at you!" I was well behaved, rather quiet, and a nice kid, which was the weird thing. As children do, I believed her and thought everyone was always literally watching me and thinking negatively of everything about me. So for me, the voices of my inner negative monologue are obvious. I work very hard to change this, as an adult, and it's slow going. Maybe you can look back and see if there are any voices from your childhood that you need to learn to cancel out. [/quote]
