What holds you back?

One can never really be fully honest with everyone all the time. It can be used against you. The trick is to know what to share with whom and when.

Fear of being judged and called out that it shakes confidence.

This post is 🌋🌋🌋 Btw can feel your words 🐈

I want to start YouTube but i fear being on screen

I've always felt judged even when being candid . It's the anonymity that makes it seem inconsequential. Otherwise every step is thought of, every word is measured.

Lack of opportunities to speak in public and fear of judgement.

I want to share my story about how i overcame the fear of public speaking. When I was in high school I was so bad at talking in English.( I joined a school in indore from a small town nearby where speaking in english was so rare.) My whole 8th standard went with that, bullied because of that, laughed because of poor English, judged by my poor English and what not. But in the summer vacation I joined a public speaking coaching where they just pair up you with other students you just have to talk on any topic like anything. I did that for 2 months and boom I was able to speak in English fluently with anyone because i talked with more than 100 unknown faces. In the 9th and 10th standard i participated in various public speaking events, debates and many more to pull me out of my comfort zone. In college i started a YouTube channel and made 10-12 videos it gave me so much confidence. I started recording my random things like doing coding, workout, playing frisbee etc it gave me so much confidence. The things I want to tell through all this is that you have to just try for a few times and boom you will not hesitate to speak in public. If you think the situation will be awkward just use reverse psychology by saying that I am very new to public speaking I am nervous and all. It works, trust me. Turn on videos during the meetings, talk to your tech friends over any topic by turning on the camera. It will bring you out of the cave of fear of public speaking. Just try.

U will not be judged… and sometimes it is like why to even start a conversation with anyone… instead watch some series or anime and be in that fictional world…

Any 21 yos here ? 😭

You being true to yourself is courageous which makes people around you afraid of you. They then label your courage as arrogance, then might find you annoying just because you are being true to yourself. They might judge you and they may outcast you for your courage. All this just because they are scared to face themselves in light of the truth bombs you throw at them.

Agree about the community of fellow viners but how do you know they are of your age? I think this app has a diverse community in terms of age starting from students to seasoned professionals with more than 20 years of experience.

Thnks for posting and spreading positivity!

Work from office

There are no good or bad people, there are just situations and human beings act accordingly atleast in corporate, so it's hard to open up to someone and rely on them completely, there are empathetic people but at the end of the day we are on our own

One thing I have noticed in my office that if I am being true about myself and boasting myself, then those things are used against you in future. Have seen this thing with many fellows and they ended up resigned the company. It holds me back from being true myself or expressive.

Fear of failure, being judged on failing. Fear of the unknown

@SoggyBasil4 the problem with truth is that people perceive u the same way as they see themselves. And as no one themselves is completely truthful hence even if other person tells the truth, people won't believe. This is like a vicious circle.
