Is it normal to be so insecure that when people look at you you immediately think it’s cause your hideous?

[Anonymous]

Like sometimes I want to avoid going outside because of the anxiety if someone looks at me

Normal, probably not, but I absolutely feel that way about myself to the point that I am agoraphobic. I'm so afraid they will see the same faults I do and be mean because of it.

Like I legit get happy when it’s either raining or snowing so I can have my hood up

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I just don't go outside hardly ever

[OneViewpoint]

Yeah, completely normal. Wait. What? No, that's not normal. But I think you know that. Did ya ever consider the possibility that they're glancing at you because you're NOT hideous?

[Asker]

It just makes me extremely insecure anytime someone looks at me

[slatyb]

It's not healthy, but neither is it uncommon. Have you considered counseling?

[Asker]

I just don’t feel like that would change it

[Anonymous]

I feel similarly, I always think that people think I’m weird… I wear sunglasses all the time because I hate making eye contact walking down the street 🫣

[Asker]

Yeah sometimes I hate going outside because of it

[Anonymous]

No, if you are that bad, you probably should be seeking therapy.

Someone can’t be unattractive

[jahaims]

No, you have confidence issues and put value into what others think

[Anonymous]

Yes, I think it's normal, at least for me.
