Stupid shit you're self-conscious about

I hate hearing people's headphones, so whenever I listen to music in public or in a car I take my headphones off every few songs to make sure you can't hear from the outside.

I also hate blowing my nose in front of people. Plus it's a good excuse to leave class.

hey! maybe someone can explain to me why Toyota has some models with the gas on the drivers side and some with it on the passenger side. When you have two cars and switch back and forth it is easy to forget.

not really self conscious but.... what do you guys do when you're walking down a hallway and you can clearly see someone you kinda know/ are obligated to say hello to is coming from the opposite direction? I struggle with this haha. I don't know whether to look like a little bitch and look at my phone, stare at them in the eye the whole time, or awkwardly say hello whilst entirely too far away...

I usually make eye contact and wave,--but then often times they do the pussy move and look away or at their phone and then its super awkward for me.

good... I was hoping other people share my uncertainty on this subject. The worst was at college when I would be walking on the sidewalks and see someone that I knew decent enough to have to say hello to.

Texting girls.

Not self conscious in person.


But on texts Im always worried I write too long of one, write too short one, too many exclamation points or smiley faces.  I just hate it.


And I have to seal business deals via text a lot I can text with other people fine its just women that I hate texting and feel self conscious about.

Shitting in public for sure. For some reason whenever there is some guy in the stall next to me I always have to rip the loudest fucking fart I've ever released from my ass.

Wearing shirts that show any of my midriff or tummy. I'm not in bad shape by any means but I hate seeing that girl wearing clothes that she just really shouldn't be wearing and I don't want to chance being that girl. Plus I just kind of feel like a whore wearing shirts that show my stomach.

People hearing me have sex.

I have a disorder that if I get up too fast or stretch, I will faint. This has happened to me so many times I stopped counting.

wow, you're the same height as me...

But going back to the thread topic, I'm SO self-conscious about my driving, if theres more than 1 car behind me, I think im going like 10 mph to slow and if my parking job isnt perfect in the spot im nervous someone will notice... Idk why

For one, I did not know this. For two-- I would be willing to bet that this isn't the case in my 1989 4runner, but just to see how stupid I am, I'm going to go look in both vehicles now.

and the verdict is.....no arrow in 4runner, but there is an arrow in the Tacoma. However, in all honesty its the Tacoma that I sometimes pull up on the wrong side, so I have no defense.

It used to be a ton of ridiculous stuff but I've gotten way better and realized that no one is paying close attention to what other people are doing. If they notice you doing something you're self conscious about 95% of the time they will not give a single fuck. Just think how little you care about what the random people in your school/work/public place are doing

Not speaking loud enough when I'm speaking for more than one person will always be on my list though. My hands are also usually pretty gross looking which has always bothered me. Every so often they look like theyre molting and they always look at least 40 years old

I sleep walk and talk fairly regularly. I always have to warn someone the first time I sleep in bed with them. It's a good thing my boyfriend is a heavy sleeper so that my sleep talking doesn't wake him up.

Back in high school i absolutely hated looking like a smart kid. I always had my homework done on time or even early and always did the extra credit assignments. I wanted to get good grades but i hated people thinking i was a nerd/smart and getting stereotyped. I dont know how to really explain it but i just wanted to do good in high school while also making people think i was an average student. I refused to show people test scores if they were good but happily showed them if i got an 80ish.

High school was full of 3,000 different kids all trying to fit into different molds and now that i look back on it i just laugh.
