Worry Less: How to Stop Worrying About What Other People Think of You

Worried about what other people might think about you?

Everybody compares themselves to other people and have been doing this since they were a child. It is a natural thing for people to do because it provides a frame of reference for who they are and where they are in life.

The problem is that most comparisons are negative and based on insecurities and fear. This can lead
to a person becoming very bitter about another individual and even angry. Negative comparisons like
these often damage a person’s self worth because they believe that they are not good enough.

Some people use comparisons to boost their ego and to validate that they are great. This can often
backfire and when it does the person is left feeling angry and bitter and their self esteem takes a big
hit. People make validation comparisons for quick ego boosts but these are not foolproof by any
means.

There are a lot of people that idolize others and end up being overly dependent on them. They
dedicate their lives to making these people happy and can only be happy themselves if they feel they
have done enough. In this situation the person being idolized has too much control of the other
person.
