We all think and feel like this. I try to tell myself that what others think doesnt matter. If truth be told, it does. We want everyone to perceive us as in control, confident, smart, and all around good. The problem is, if we dont beleive it or feel it with in ourself then how can we expect others to feel it and see it. I do beleive that it is self esteem. I also beleive it has a great deal to do with anxiety. As a panic disorder sufferer, I also worry about "freaking out" and having people laugh at me. Truth is, I have "freaked out" in front of people. They did not laugh. They were comforting and caring and that is something I didnt expect. Dont under estimate people. As much as we would like to beleive that they are mean and horrible, people actually do care.

You would probably be surprised to learn that all people walk around in life with insecurities. Everyone.

I think no matter how hard you try, we will always be concerned with what others think and feel about it. I think it's natural. I think the propblem is the extent to which we let it bother us. That is the key. I think so anyway.
