I worry so much about what others

It sounds like you worry a lot about what other people think of you. That can make you over-explain, avoid decisions, or keep guessing whether someone is upset—even without clear proof. Do one thing: ask yourself, “Do I have evidence, or am I assuming?” Then choose what feels right for you and let others have their own opinions.

How long has this worry been following you, and what is it stopping you from doing day to day? You can tell me more here, and we’ll talk it through together.
