We all get nervous from time to time. Have you ever felt intimidated or scared of others? Good news: Most of them are also like youscared as a puppy.
For example, you see a glamorous actress on screen, and you gushed, "wow, I wish I can be like her, admired, popular, successful, with lots of ardent fans." But if you only hear what their innermost thoughts, they can say, "My fans think I have it made!" She looks at herself and worries about that zit in her forehead and agonizes about when her next project is going to beor if there's any upcoming projects lined up for her.
We look at other people and thought that they have it all, and we think poorly of ourselves, saying that we're "not good enough." But you're not the only one who think of this. Even larger than life celebs, VIPs, or other influential people sometimes have their bout with their "I'm not good enough" moments.
Fearing others may pave to a lot of misunderstanding aside from feeling intimidated. Have you had an experience wherein you avoided some neighbors since they never talk to you? You were too afraid of saying a simple "Hello" and concluded that they don't like you. To them it may also be the same. They're too intimidated to approach you and assumed you don't like them.
Then, a few years later, a friend introduced you to each other and you became fast friends. See? Just realize that the person which appears confident to you may not really be that confident/snobbish as they seem.
Tomorrow, when you look at yourself in the mirror, you may look pretty harmless and ordinary, but don't be deceived. Do you know that you actually scare a lot of people and make them nervous? Yes, you put some people ill at ease and you look intimidating.
So if you're losing sleep because you're scared of others, relaxyou don't have to be. And if you're likely to write off others as snobbish and haughty, why don't you give them a chance? Perhaps just like you, they're only scared.
