Intense Fear of Judgment From Others

in motivation •  2 years ago 

Intense fear of judgment from others can be a crippling feeling that keeps you from living life to the fullest. People tend to judge others based on their own insecurities and values. These aren't always the same, but most people don't like being judged by others. This fear can make you feel paralyzed, even if you aren't the type to express your emotions.


Luckily, there are ways to overcome this fear, including counseling. For example, you can let go of the trivialities that cause you the most anxiety. Likewise, if you feel that you're constantly worrying about being judged, you might be suffering from social anxiety. If this has become a limiting factor in your life, it's time to take action. Check out the National Institute of Mental Health for more information.

An intense fear of judgment from others can be a symptom of another disorder, social phobia. People with social phobia may avoid crowds, avoid eye contact with others, and worry that they'll be judged by others. People who suffer from social phobia experience intense anxiety that is out of proportion to the actual threat. They may even recognize that the fear is irrational, but they have difficulty controlling their symptoms and intrusive thoughts.
