Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

How much do you care about getting judged by strangers? Like at a grocery store or gas station or parties.

Do you ever change your plans because, you think others may pass judgment?

For example, if you’re at a buffet, would you put less in your plate because you think someone may see the amount and judge?

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

Used to care about such judgments, not anymore.

Btw, the people who judge others by the amount of food they take at buffets, are people who actually want to take more food too, but they are scared to be judged too....

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

A bit. People on public transport are scary, okay?
Also, a lot of people in my area are really nosey and like to make judging eyes at you :(

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

Who cares .... You can't please everyone out there in this world.....

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

i used to, not any more.. i paid for the buffet didn't i? i will put as much in my plate as i want.. but i rather go twice then load up my plate once.

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

judge me all you want but keep the verdict to yourself

:chai:

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

Interesting, never thought of it like that.

As a sidenote, I think we would only care about being judged if we have some sort of insecurity. Like for me, I would acutally put less food in my plate if I feel like someones looking, because I am a little self-conscious about my weight. But if someone was to judge me by my fashion sense, I wouldn’t care, because I’m confident in what I wear.

^And those examples are only with strangers. I don’t really care if friends call me out for being a moti for putting too much food :hehe:.

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

No really, what I have observed during years is that people who judge most are insecure themselves.

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

It's true only those judge who have some sort of insecurity. But than there is the idea of letting someone else's judgment bother you. You would only let someone else's judgment bother you IF you are insecure (about something specific).

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

It isnt a matter of "would I let it bother me" but rather it would bother me regardless of how hard I try not to. Anyone who says otherwise is denying or have attained some sort of sainthood (aka hum main say nahi....jk)

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

That is true too.

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

I don’t know :hmmm:.

It’s hard for me say I would take a strangers judgment seriously if i’m not already self-conscious about it. And I’m no saint lol. I’ll have to think it over some more.

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

I think that holds true if that judgement is about your physical appearance or other personal matters, but really, if anyone will judge me for the cloths I am waering or the language I am speaking I wont care at all.

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

Any negative assessment would bother a person, whether consciously or subconsciously. The only thing that differs among people is how long they dwell on it.

“What? Your toilet ran out of toilet paper? Hamaray ghar main tou har waqt stock hota hai toilet paper ka … aur woh bhi scent walay toilet paper” :rolleyes:

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

^:rotfl:. uffff people are so special!

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

running out of toilet paper indicates lack of home management...........

Re: Fear of Being Judged by Strangers

Nah I just want my guests to use natural materials like soil and dried grass. Natural stuff is environment friendly.

I have a fear of being afraid of people judging me.
