[My problem is I can't stop worrying what people think of me and I'm intimidated by most people.]

That's a sure indication of low self-esteem. I used to be the same way. I used to think that everybody in the world was better than me. Even though I'd been to college and earned a good living, I was intimidated by the greasy kid working at the gas station. I felt unworthy of anyone's love. I felt like I was unlovable. And that's a tough way to go through life.

There are ways to change that way of looking at yourself.

Acceptance is the most important. You need to accept the way you are -- to provide yourself with that unconditional love you may be otherwise lacking.

You also need self-respect. What you think of yourself is most important -- not what others think of you, and that means living a life of integrity. It's not just doing what's right; it's behaving in a dignified way in all social situations and expecting to be treated with respect.

This is your life. Do not accept a bit part in your own life. Play the leading role. You are not here on earth to live up to someone else's expectations.
