I thought over it a lot, and came to a conclusion that I am being self conscious over tiny things. 

I fear what others will think about me so much that i dont show up. Specially in my professional life. I have this imposter syndrome and feeling as if i talk to this stranger and may be more talented than me person, they will figure me out. I am so much afraid that i dont post anything on linkedin because everyone will know what i am doing and now that i dont have a job, its a necessity to post. 

I know th theory behind the solution that, evryone is busy in their own problems, that no one cares, its only in my mind. But when i have to put this in action, I dont even remember this things. 

I am capable of doing any work and I am great at it, specially my field of work. But I still feel that people will figure out tht I am faking my confidence and may be I am not that smart.

Any suggestion to avoid self consciousness?

Heyy Soul!❣️ I'm so glad that you have made such a big realisation about things that have been affecting you lately! That's high level self awareness! I'm so happy to hear that out! 

I hear you and I understand what you say! Confidence comes from within! And it's not a thing of one day but requires a lot of real authentic practice! Well, I'm really proud of you for saying that, you are so confident about your job field or your area of expertise! That's something that your heart knows very well! 💓 

All I wish to say is, Confidence when built for external validation or assurance is shaky and can collapse in absence of that assurance. But, the moment we shift that trust to ourselves, sit with our good and bad parts, ask ourselves who we want to be and who we desire to be, start taking one step towards building ourselves that is when we build real confidence that exists for a lifetime and doesn't vanish even when you are on one side with the world on the other! Also realising that this is not an easy process but requires a lot of patience and faith! 💗 Even on days when it's really messy and difficult! Knowing that it's okay to not figure it out now but sooner we will! 

What do you think about this? Come on, I wish to know your perspective! Let's talk!😊💗

You are doing really great! I appreciate your openness to learning! Keep growing!

Thank you for being there for me. You made me realize that I am looking for external validation. I am trying my best to be authentic to myself and not care about others opinion.
