Why do I care what people think so much? Am I crazy?
I don’t know why, but lately I’ve been looking back at past experiences and just cringing. A lot of it involved alcohol, which I own, but there was also a period in my life when I had a tumor in my neck and I genuinely felt off….like my behavior wasn’t fully “me” at the time. Mostly my coworkers had to see a nervous person.
I’m trying to give myself grace, but I can’t help thinking about all the people I crossed paths with back then and worrying they think I’m crazy. And when I drink too much, I definitely act like… a drunk, which doesn’t help. I’ve never had anything bad happen but I’m talking like getting emotional, mad at people who were rude, and just idk.
I’m doing Dry January right now and realizing I probably care way too much about what people think of me. Has anyone else felt this way? looking back and cringing, or worrying about how they’re perceived?

this feels like a half-step, not a full move so the response doesn’t surprise me
At first glance, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it. At least from my perspective.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.

Reaction: Im not a cheater just an embarrassed idiot. Also Im scared a friend will send something stupid or if someone hacks my phone to put something bad without me knowing.

Reaction: Title*
Not gonna lie, the follow-through is what will decide this and that friction is hard to ignore Others will probably see it differently.
