Ironic that in an article about not caring what you look like, she wore mascara to a water park. Perhaps a better headline would have been, "I decided to stop caring about what other people think of me."

"The same thing goes for dancing or exercising or partaking in any type of physical activity that we’re not sure if we look good doing. For all the self-consciousness we experience in these moments, the truth is that the people around us aren’t watching. Okay, maybe they are for a second or two, but everyone is more worried about themselves than what another person is doing"
This is very true, but it is universally true. It is not unique or specific to appearance. People are also afraid to appear dumb when they talk in public, whereas folks sitting in the audience might simply not pay so much attention to the speaker because engrossing thoughts/problems/worries are running through their minds at that time. Or, and even more so, if folks in the audience are up to speak next, they most likely are anxious and worried about how they will be perceived. People in general grossly overestimate about the extent to which others pay attention to their existence... both negative attention and positive attention. __________________ Bipolar I w/Psychotic features Zyprexa Zydis 5 mg Gabapentin 1200 mg Melatonin 10 mg Levoxyl 75 mcg (because I took Lithium in the past) past medications: Depakote, Lamictal, Lithium, Seroquel, Trazodone, Risperdal, Cogentin, Remerol, Prozac, Amitriptyline, Ambien, Lorazepam, Klonopin, Saphris, Trileptal, Clozapine and Clozapine+Wellbutrin, Topamax |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
