Please help. How did I get over worrying so much about what others think of me?. I want to not care but I care so much it throws me into spirals.

I relate to this a lot. As much as I’ve tried to work through this is still struggle with it. Biggest things I’ve done to work past this is realize that if someone has a problem with me it’s not my problem. Me being myself can never be MY problem or even a problem at all. Some ppl just won’t like you and that’s okay. If you don’t have bad intentions and know you mean no harm, then that’s all that matters. Of course take accountability if u actually hurt someone, but apologizing for existing

Isn’t smthing that ppl want to hear. Just remind urself ur doing ur best and that’s all you can do. It gets easier with time n u think less abt it the more you practice self compassion

This is really good advice. It’s so hard to accept that some people won’t like you and that’s okay because I take it so personally (I don’t want to) but it feels like I’m being rejected as a friend because something is wrong with me
