When I worry what others think of me, my guard goes up, I divert energy to worrying what will they think about anything I say, what questions they might ask me and what possible responses I can give.
This wastes a lot of energy and focus, making my social ability goes down, it's not a fun frame of mind to be in and I suspect that others can feel I’m sorta distancing myself from them.
I’m going to try reminding myself that being guarded is exhausting and I feel much freer and more alive if I don’t. Hopefully adopting this mindset will help.
Do people have other mindsets you use to reduce the negative effects of self-esteem issues?
