Self-Consciousness

from How to Be Human · host Anna Toonk

We have all experienced it at one point or another in our lives, that feeling of others perceiving us in an extreme or negative light. It might happen when we interact with our friends, meet new strangers, or give a presentation to our coworkers. In today’s episode, we will discuss some of our best tips and strategies to feel less self-conscious in our everyday lives. When we become overly self-aware in a social situation, our minds might jump to the worst possible conclusion. This causes feelings of anxiety or fear to make us feel insecure in ourselves. While this may seem negative, self-consciousness and self-awareness are sometimes healthy signs of emotional maturity. We need these emotions to help us understand when we should feel remorse to help us patch up a relationship or help us understand how to behave in a certain situation. Join us on this week’s episode as we talk about how to deal with feelings of fear about our bodies and family structure, learn how to not project negative emotions on other people, and balance self-awareness with self-consciousness.
