Fear of judgement is hard to overcome.

In my case, what bothered me about the fear of being judged was not so much that it paralyzed me (in speaking or writing), but above all that it prevented me from being authentic.

At one point, I adjusted my actions and behaviour so much according to what I thought others would want to see that I almost didn't know who I really was. I got so used to fulfilling the expectations of those around me about my character that I forgot what that character was actually like without the games.

It took a long time to let go of that pressure. But it's worth it. It seems to me that after this problem is solved, a great deal of the tension that used to haunt me in every innocent communication fell away. In addition, one gets into spontaneity much more often, which is an absolutely magical flow that always reminds me how wonderful it is to be alive.

spirituality, philosophy and psychedelics helped me the most to finally and truly be able to say from my heart "screw it, lets be just me and not some illusion created by others expactstions". But that worked just for me. Every path is different and individual. Anyway, no matter how one gets there, it is worth it.

Btw.

If others are skyrocketing past you, it is just because you are always watching someone in front of you.

if you were to turn around and look behind you, you would see a lot of people who are now looking at you in astonishment and declaring that you are skyrocketing compared to them. For example, you would see me there :).
