The wisest psychological insight I ever learned:
Everybody is acting out of their own individual drama.
They aren't thinking about you.
They see you as a minor character in their story.
Perhaps a cameo.
It's a liberating insight.
That voice in your head saying that people are judging you? That's you.
People don't care.
