Everyone is self conscious, worried to some degree how others view them. Years ago I was cured of this destructive, crippling flaw. I had some friends andcwecwere st a dance and my friends husband said come on, lets dance. So we were dancing. I barely could bc I was terrified, people were looking, judging , laughing, whatever. The guy had one arm and was quite funny. He goes " are you worried about people looking at you?". I said yes and said " don't worry, no one is paying any attention to you, they are saying wow look at how awesome the one armed guy dances!". Then he said something profound that changed my life, " no one is really paying attention to you bc they are all looking around, wondering who is looking at them, what people think if them, etc, and if they aren't worried about themselves, then they have self confidence and aren't judgemental about you.".
Since then I've beem less worried how others view me. Since I became saved, I worry even less how or what someone thinks of me. The ONLY ONE whose judgement matters sees me through the blood of His Son and loves me no matter what.
