Learn Easy English with this powerful English podcast for easy English conversation. In this episode, we talk about why you care so much about what people think and how to stop overthinking, feel…
So, maybe we start with a simple question.
This fear of what people think, where did it even begin for you? It did not just appear last week.
Yeah, it usually starts way earlier, right? School, family, friends, tiny comments, small jokes, but big impact inside.
Hmm, maybe you remember this.
You say something in class, people laugh.
Or you wear something different, someone makes a joke.
For them, it is one second.
For you, it feels like a scar.
Exactly.
Moments like that can stay for a long time.
They kind of stay in your mind.
They do not just go away.
They linger.
Right.
When you say linger, you mean they stay there, like they do not leave, right?
Yes.
Linger means stay longer than they should, like a smell or a memory or a sentence.
It does not leave quickly.
Hmm, maybe you had one sentence that still lingers from years ago.
You were too loud.
You talk funny.
You were strange.
And the fear from that moment doesn't stay in one place.
It starts to move into other areas of life.
It slowly begins to seep into everything.
