Whatever it is that you want to do, say, think, believe, or wear but don't out of fear of what someone else might think, do it anyway. After you do, stop, look around, and notice that you're still okay. You're still breathing. Chances are you still have a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and food to eat. You're okay. The thoughts of others – no matter what they are – pose no real harm to you. The only effect they have is the one you give them. It takes time and practice to undo the neural pathways associated with the fear of what other people think and rewire our brain to understand it's safe to simply be who we really are.
