Like Nobody’s Watching

If there’s anything about me, it’s that I love to laugh and have fun. Want me to wear a tutu? I’ll put it on asap. Need someone to sing some karaoke with you in front of others? Im your girl. Want to be around someone who will crack up at all ur jokes? I got you.

This wasn’t always the case, however. While I have always been super extroverted, there was a time in my life when i would stress a crazy amount about what other people thought of me. I wouldn’t do anything super fun or out of the ordinary for fear of judgment and simple things like starting a conversation would cause me to stress way too much. I lived my life dictated by my presumed guesses of what I thought others thought of me and it caused me to miss out on a lot of fun memories and strong friendships.

What helped me get over this fear was putting myself in a couple different mindsets.

-most people are so worried about what they have going on that they dont worry about others, so live like nobody’s watching!

-so what if people don’t like you? When you’re your true self you’ll find enough genuine people that do. The right people will love you for you!

It’s easy to worry about what others think, but just remember that it’s better to be yourself and have fun! The people meant to be in your life will stay no matter how goofy you are! If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to me!!

Thanks for letting me be me, DV
