TEENS! do you ever feel self-conscious in public ?

I do, mostly the town, park, etc, but if I'm with a friend, I'm fine. I feel they're all staring at me, sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't, but it makes me feel like there's something wrong with me, like I'm an alien or something. :/ I'm 15 btw :/ wbu?

  • Yes I do, all the time! I don't around the older generation like adults etc but I feel like people my age judge me more on the way I look.

    Thanks for answering my question(:

  • I feel self-conscious about the way I walk.

    I already know I walk differently than most people. Because I walk on my toes. I try really hard not to do it in public. But when I am excited, I kind of walk with an exaggerated skip in my step. Like, imagine a Velociraptor walking. My ex would call me "Raptor Girl" and a lot of people would ask "Why does she walk like that?" Before I didn't really care, but sometimes it gets to me. More when guys or people I meet for the first time see me do it.

  • I feel the same way! My legs are long, but they are also uneven. This sometimes affects my gait, and I am always self-conscious in public because I think people are staring. My left leg is also skinnier than my right. I try to act confident in public, but I'm not! :(

  • I have Social Anxiety Disorder so.. Yes. Very much, all the time, always.

    There's nothing wrong with it. A lot of people feel self-conscious.

  • Oh yes. Last night I went to the public pool, and wore a bikini for the first time. At first I was sooooo self-conscious, but then I started to have fun and relax. Who cares what strangers think? :)

  • Yes.

    In public I'm eating out or shopping, I used to think everyone would stare and make comments about me. I'm trying to getnover that..but no progress.

  • I get paranoid but Now i don't feel self conscious.sometimes i think i look a little weird in public

  • Yep. For me it's because I have social anxiety. I feel like everyone is judging me and I'm so afraid of doing something stupid. It really sucks.

  • I’m 15 too and i’m exactly the same :)

  • Sometimes I do..
