Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

And so should we.

So the next time society glares your way, ask yourself: is it really worth giving your peace to their fleeting thoughts?

Ah, society and its norms—always looming, always judging, isn't it? Let me take you back to an incident that forever changed how I view this question.

Can trans people tell me what the criteria for a woman is excluding self identification (facts do not rely on self belief)?

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

Take care!

Are we afraid of society's norms? Maybe. But more often than not, we fear the stories we write in our heads about those norms.

Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?

As I walked into the college, every pair of eyes seemed glued to me. Some admiring, some smirking, and a few whispering. My palms were sweating, and my steps faltered as my mind spiraled into a series of anxious thoughts.

That moment, I realized something profound—most of the people staring weren’t even judging; they were just... looking. And the ones who judged? Well, they went on with their day just as I went on with mine.

“Did I drape it wrong? Does it look too plain? Do I even look good?”
