This one is going to be extremely hard.... 7 hours ago

but it’s probably the most important thing I need to achieve in my life.

There are so many opportunities and experiences I have let pass by due to fear of what others would say or do. I’m really not prepared to continue like that. So slowly but surely I will achieve this goal.

I used to mark this goal as done, but I feel as I’ve never stopped caring about others’ opinions – or at least I did for just one month.
I’ve stopped wearing most of my favourite outfits, dyed my hair brunette (I used to have it pink), took off my septum piercing, etc. Now I feel like I’ve given up on being myself, and with ridicolous excuses. It seems so hard to take my confidence back. :/

That’s why I’ve got a very important date tomorrow.
I’m going to the salon and dye my hair fucking pink back. The problem is I’m quite scared of reactions. Ugh.

definite progress! 5 days ago

i’ve been getting so much better at not caring what people think of me!
i used to be insanely shy, just sitting at my desk doing my work and not talking with people around me because i’m afraid that they’re gunna think ‘omg, why is sheee talking to us, she’s a loser’.
but now, i actually talk to some people. I”m an amazing person, why shouldnt i talk to them! hehe
but i still do have stuff to work on, like i wont dance crazily in front of people because i’m afraid they’ll think i’m a loser, and i wont do drama presentations, etc.
but i’m getting there!



I WANNA WEAR NICE CLOTHES. D: 6 days ago

Ugh I’m sick of buying expensive clothes and not wearing them just because I’m too scared of people staring at me. It’s gotten ridiculous. I never used to be this bad. :/ I’m even nervous when I’m walking down the road! I get scared waiting for the bus just because there’s houses outside the bus shelter and people might see me. I’m not the ugliest person ever, why should I live in fear?

I’m so sick of caring what other people think of me. It indeed effects my life. So I want to change the situation.



I've had enough 2 weeks ago

I’m just fed up walking around with this knot in my stomach, with a pang everytime i THINK others are looking at me and thinking i am weird and stuff. I am fed up pushing people away because I think they might look down on me if they knew the real me, or by fearing i might not be good enough. i am done with being scared of saying hi to people, or saying something an agonizing for hours at a time what that other person would have thought. i don’t mean i want to stop caring about anything people think about me, i am just fed up with it ruling my life as it is right now.
