Stop caring what other people think of me

I am a perfectionist and freeze up whenever I start to worry about things not being ‘right’. I’d like to loosen up and stop worrying about what other people might think… there’s no real ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ in so many aspects of life. I live by a moral code and I try to be true to what I believe, and I am good enough just the way I am….... but these things are hard to remember in any sort of social situation. I don’t want to worry about what other people are thinking. For one thing, it’s egotistical … what makes me think they’re thinking about me? And for another, it’s preventing me from enjoying life to its fullest. I plan to take small steps to make myself look foolish and see how it doesn’t hurt….. and hopefully make myself realize that the biggest critic in my life is me.
