![]() ![]() However, I had two options – Either to take a firm decision and dedicate my life to it or to listen to their opinions and live my life as they wished. ![]() I too was affected by other’s opinions and thoughts and this little inner critic within me spoke to their tune too. People opposed my decision and started making their hypothetical judgments. To this, I received numerous judgments and a pool full of criticism. Hence, I listened to this inner calling, took a leap of faith, and aimed towards being a writer. I had always been fascinated with the power of words and I did win many language competitions during my college days. I cleared my thoughts and did some deep soul searching. I had no idea what I was going to do after studying engineering for 4 years and finding out that this wasn’t something I want to be. I didn’t join the company and yes it felt scary. So when this renowned firm offered me an excellent package, this little voice within fumbled agreeing to it. But right after that when a corporate firm approached me to offer a job, I was a little hesitant.Īll my life I always dreamt of being an engineer because of the status that comes along with that degree. I studied Electronics Engineering and graduated with the highest score in 2016. Overcoming the fear of judgment – my storyĪs many of you may not know, I’m basically an engineer. Here’s a little story on how I stop caring about what people think of me. We hold ourselves back just because we fear what are they going to think if we did this, what if they go behind our back and speak ill of us or criticize our every move!! I had the same thoughts. Do you really think at the end it’s worth listening to their opinion and living your life their way? Sometimes this fear of judgment holds us back from living our purpose, our dream. People judge you for everything you do, whether it’s the non-conventional career path or living the life of your dreams, they are going to judge you. It’s a hard practice to finally free yourself from other’s thoughts and opinions because we as humans are meant to judge. This was not at all easy and I still go in the loops of caring what people think of me. It was only after standing up for myself and doing things that made my heart full of joy that I learned to free myself from the fear of judgments. I always had this idea of outperforming myself, being a perfectionist, the best in every single activity which made me beat myself up for every task.Īs someone who’s unknowingly a people pleaser, I had somewhere forgotten my own identity, my real self. The fear of judgment was something I carried along with me since my childhood. When I was in high school, I always let people’s opinions affect me super hard. ![]()
