Stop being so self-conscious

I read this article:

http://www.affirmations-for-success.com/self-conscious.html

I hate people. Why would I want to pay attention to them? I’m never around other people. I’m always inside on the computer, or sleeping in my room. Sigh. I will have to try. This is going to be tough because I hate looking at people.

“The secret then to dealing with this problem is to becomeother conscious.

If all you do is shift your focus from self to others you willcommunicate better, perform better and become a far betterlistener.”

Like most behavioural goals, this will be ongoing. But the previous article I mentioned really helped. And I think this should be quite doable since I feel I am generally quite others-focused (which sometimes can be a bit too much to handle!).

I may be oversimplifying this, but this tip makes a lot of sense to me. That and of course, to stay away from judgemental and critical people!

Probably, this is a good start. Then maybe I’ll have a better idea to gauge if I’ve conquered this goal.

Drives me crazy sometimes. I’d be fussing about how I look, if I spoke clearly, whether I wore too much makeup. Why the hell am I driving myself nuts? Is this even worth the psycho-analysis?

I have this theory (I won’t apologize for being such a smartass) that it’s coz I have nothing better, more urgent or important to do. Which is not exactly true, just that I’ve gotten better at justifying the excuses to procrastinate a bit more.

There I go again, being my own worst critic.

Think this should spin off another goal, be more kind and mindful to self. Yeah, that might help.
