text: i'm really self conscience how can i stop caring what people think?   try this: draw a circle on a piece of paper. that's you.  then draw little circles that just touch your circle at one point.  draw some other circles that don't touch at all.  these are other people. they are in their own circle, and only bump onto your circle briefly.  let's say you belch loudly in front of the minister in church. oooops! embarrassing. but he's in his own circle. he will forget about that belch in minutes. because it isn't about him.  most people are so caught up in themselves, they don't really think about you at all.  so next time you worry what someone will think, picture that big circle with the little circles barely touching.
