Hello, I care a lot about the way I look in public. Do you ever get caught up in these types of thoughts?
Yes, but I was way more self-consciousness in the adolescent stages of my life. That's when it tends to be the worst for people.
I agree, I noticed that my experiences with self consciousness have improved with age as well. I am also paranoid at times, so for me the two feelings may relate a bit.
Yes, self-consciousness is sometimes associated with shyness, or paranoia. That analogy is spot on.
Okay that's good to know that I'm making sense. I was also more shy when i was young but still have some of those tendencies. I suppose it's part of my personality.
Me too, those tenancies can be annoying because  they can impair your ability to perform complex actions.
I agree, for me I think the impairment stems from the distraction that those tendencies cause.
Yes, you even become more aware and distracted by the most smallest actions.
