people are talking about me
hi iv had a bad experience when i was young a picture of me ( a very normal picture of me not showing even a bit of skin and wearing a mask) was shared in some fb page and people were making fun of me , that time it ended up by me taking the whole page down. however whenever i walk now past anyone somehow my brain tells me that they are talking about me that they are making fun of me that they know me from that picture.
this has been stopping me from going out at all

I'm sorry people were making fun of you
But don't let bullies impact you from going out and living your life.
Their words weren't true 💙

Living well is the best revenge. Gossip comes and goes, soon they will talk about something else. It's easy to be self conscious but there is too much to see and do. New experiences to get lost in :)
For now I would get some headphones or earbuds, go out with them in, listen to music, podcasts or books and tell yourself that you're a cool person and no-one is going to hold you back or stop you having fun :)
Lots of people are also walking around insecure too, most of us are aware of something about ourselves, so you're not the only person who is struggling. I hope things improve :)
I’ve had a lot of social embarrassment in my life. I have been targeted a lot and I don’t really get why. I’m not going to tell you to just get over it because I know that doesn’t work. Basically our brains got wired to be stuck on those things. But I will ask you, have you ever heard of EMDR therapy? You have to do the sessions with a professional. Basically you will stimulate your brain a certain way while thinking about the bad memory and after some time the memory doesn’t feel bad anymore. It might help you to overcome it. I’m doing EMDR with a therapist and so far it’s helping me a bit.
