Anxiety of What Other People Think of You

Struggling to keep up with appearances because of anxiety? Deep rooted anxiety that stems from your past can easily ruin your present moment experience. It's what happened to me when I decided to leave my past behind, only to find myself stuck in a whirlwind of emotions that kept dragging me down. Drugs and alcohol dominated my teenage life, and I was spending a lot of my time with people who shared similar interests. When the cord was cut for good, I found myself struggling to make new connections with people who have different interests.

This was the moment in my life where I began to learn about emotional patterns, and the way they influence my life, whether for good purposes or bad. We all have to start somewhere, and for me that was the process of recognizing the negative emotions within me, and gradually teaching myself to step out of my comfort zone and experience new things, like meeting new people and enjoying new passions in life. In many regards, the point of letting go of the past was what helped me to establish a much clearer picture for the future.
