I have been caring about what people think about me all my life and it haunts me. I have had severe social anxiety for many years, I can't even handle the smallest bit of criticism and I am a people pleaser. This video has had a big impact on me, as I analyze my thoughts now I recognize how much of my life has been dedicated to people pleasing and it is actually quite overwhelming. Apart from writing my thoughts down or expressing my thoughts, there's not much I can think to do to try to change. I am actually very anxious because I just want this desperate want for validation to leave my mind. Are there some strategies apart from what Im doing that could be helpful? Any tips would be much appreciated.
