Have you ever had this heavy feeling that people are looking at you?

Like... you just want to do your own thing but you're SO self-conscious that you just can't.

I had this feeling for soooo long.

Did I overcome it?

I would say yes. Partly, at least.

I still feel judged at times, but now I know how to talk myself out of it.

Reader, the fear of being judged is so deeply anchored inside that you can't simply snap ya fingers and get rid of it. blah.

For me, overcoming it started with understanding where it came from.

I went to therapy and read maaany books to finally stop giving a F what people think of me. Now I'm letting people believe I'm whatever they assume I am.

SO, I made a list of resources to help you to understand this freaking fear that keeps you from fully embracing who you are.

Hope this will be helpful!

4. Journaling Prompts ✍️ As I grew up, what parts of me did I repress? What was I punished for when I was a child? What was I not allowed to do when I was a child? What are behaviours I judge in others people? What do I find inadequate about myself? In what situation do I have the feeling that I am “too much” or “not good enough”? What part of me am I ashamed of? Why? ​ P.S This is one of my favourite notebooks for my daily journaling 👇 (Handmade by a small business from Montreal - my hometown 🥹) ​ SHOP NOTEBOOK
