I think that it's important to develop self acceptance, and a positive self-image of your own creation. It's something I that I'm working on at present. Whenever I begin having negative thoughts about what other people may be thinking about me, I focus on my own self-image, I 'reel' in my awareness. I give myself self-acceptance, and thus become independent of what anyone thinks of me. If I accept myself, then I won't need the approval of others. I have, in the past, projected my awareness too far outward and have lost myself in the objects I was perceiving.

Call it a form of self love, or self-nurturing, but it's working for me.

Good Luck and all the very best.
