I've been like this for most of my life, too. I've only recently started to care less and less what people think. I'll just do my best to be polite and nice, and if I fail, I fail. I'll just try again the next day.

and if I fail, I fail. I'll just try again the next day.

I know this sounds like a really simple concept to grasp but I only started really acting on it recently and O. M. G. the difference it makes in how I feel about myself!

ikr?! It's a very recent thing to me too, even when it's just so obvious in hindsight.

I used to obsess over social gaffes for weeks, months, years after the fact. The stress even gave me premature gray hairs (which do recover their natural color if I spent enough time relaxed and avoiding stress, phew!) and made my hair fall out (it thankfully grows back quickly enough, so no balding or anything), and that's when I stopped myself and realized that something had to change or my health would only get worse.

And I do have my bad days with "oh god i screwed everything up i'll never succeed my friends will leave me what do i do i messed up for good this time oh no" irrational thoughts, but they're less frequent and last less because now I have more strength to tell those thoughts to shut up and disappear. And they do. And life seems less and less impossible every day. C:

There was nothing more freeing than when I suddenly realized I wasn't actually all that big a deal and nobody was sitting at home remembering that stupid thing I said five years ago.
