Cares what everyone else thinks = low self esteem?

I feel the same way, but what helps me is to develop the mindset of " Why should I care what they think of me, they should care what I think of them." I don't know why this soothes me. Sorry if your not Catholic but this also helps me: I shouldn't care about their thoughts but the thought going to Heaven.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
