We all care what others think of us, that is a normal part of life as a social creature.  However, caring what other’s think is different than having fear around what others think and that distinction is important.  When we fear judgment from others we can change our behavior to be less true to ourselves, censoring our true thoughts and actions.  We also are vulnerable to internalizing what we believe other’s think of us, which can negatively impact our mental health.  Dr. Brad Foltz discusses how to navigate the natural tendency to fear judgment from others and balance it with being our full authentic selves on this episode of Unit3d.
