Feeling judged when jogging.
How can you go out to jogg without being paranoid?
Where I live people have this habbit of starring at people who are going on the street, specially when jogging. Now this doesn't me because I'm very self conscious and also I live in a town where my abusive ex boyfriend still lives. I want to jogg to get rid of my anxiety and help my depression, however I freak out about this issue.
Does anyone relate? Feeling judged or intimidated when running outside?
I thought about going to the park, thing is the park is located in the middle of a forest and many drug addicts are there and I'm scared...
I usually walk to the beach with my mum, but in terms of jogging my fear comes again.
Help?

I can relate but I think this happens a lot for people. When you see someone jogging/walking, you generally look at them inquisitively, right? It doesn't mean you're negatively judging them or even judging them at all! It's a case of pushing through it and learning to focus on your exercise and not anyone else. :)

I think you're right. Is just really hard for me :(

Well, we have listeners and therapists here who may be able to help. :)
