There’s certain benign activities that you should do even if someone is judging you because the sort of person who would judge you for doing that isn’t a person worth listening to.
Worried about wearing that pikachu shirt when you usually don’t wear t-shirts? Do it. The sort of person who would judge you for wearing a pikachu shirt isn’t worth your time.
Worried someone will judge you for eating in public? What sort of idiot cares about another person eating a salad at the park? Just do it.
Worried you’re not dressed well enough for this mall? It’s a mall. If someone judged you for showing up in basketball shorts they have too much time on their hands.
What sort of person gets mad at someone else just standing to the side and reading a nutrition label? Not the sort of person I’d like to meet.
Someone judging you for not wearing makeup? That person is not worth your time.
This mindset has helped my social anxiety a lot btw. As long as you generally do your best to be a polite person other normal or slightly weird or out of character things you do are your business. The sort of person paying a lot of attention to every little thing a stranger does generally isn’t the sort of person whose opinion you’d respect. So stop letting their opinions matter to you when you haven’t even met them.
They’re finally heeeeerre!!! @cparadigmpins and I have been sitting on this project for SIX MONTHS. These limited edition Ghibli themed lava lamp pins are now available for sale as well as pre-orders for a lava lamp ITA bag. They can only be found in her shop linked below. Check it out for more info! This has been such a massive project for us both and I thank you guys so much for supporting my weird art adventure!
Note: There are only 100 of each of these pins printed but there is a chance of being a second run with some tweaks to the original designs. There is also a UV reactive misprint available so check it out!
