Everything I do cringes and makes me feel so embarrassed of myself. I try to avoid this by blocking out my thoughts and memories of the cringe event but it has become so difficult. I’m not able to talk with people without feeling strange and it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to make friends. When I’m talking the only thing that’s on my mind is how bad my voice sounds, how my lips are looking dry, how my face looks, etc. How do I stop this?

When you’re talking to people and thinking all these thoughts about yourself how much are you thinking about that persons lips, face, looks??? Probably not a lot. I would say it’s the same for them. Maybe they’re not thinking about their appearance, but a problem at home, what they’ll say next, how hungry they are etc etc. one of the best things I keep in mind is that we’re all inherently self absorbed so no one is thinking about us as much as we’re thinking about ourselves. Try to remember that. Good luck!
