But the truth is that no one is watching. Everyone is too busy... with themselves. Surprisingly, your "mistake" or "awkwardness" will be forgotten in five minutes. But the regret that you lived someone else's life will remain.
Advice for the daring (and the calm ones too):
Your life - your rules.
Do you want blue hair? Dance in the middle of the street? Sing in the shower as if the stadium is listening? Do it. Those who "condemn" secretly envy your freedom.
Mistakes are style.
Stumbled? Laughed. Mixed up the words? Said: "I'm experimenting with speech like that." Confidence always wins over shame.
The environment is a filter.
People who constantly criticize are not judges, but a mirror of their own insecurity. Don't be afraid to let go of those who do not support you.
Living for fun is not selfishness
When you live the way you want, you shine. And when you shine, you warm others. Here's a paradox: being yourself is the most generous gift to the world.
So, if you are pulled in one direction, and public opinion screams in another - choose yourself.
Because in this story you are the main character. And let the opinion of the crowd remain in the crowd.
