I remember the day I saw my mom immediately say something negative about the waitress the second she walked away and it suddenly clicked why I always get anxious that people are talking about me as soon as I leave a room or gathering

Next step is to internalize RuPaul’s words: “what other people think of me is none of my business.”

This is precisely why I can never 100% believe the "No one is thinking about you" talking point... in many cases that is simply just not true. People are judgmental and gossipy as hell.

this goes for yourself too, a lot of helping myself be less anxious was to stop viewing other people so negatively

My mother has always done this. I remember being a little girl and she always talked unkindly about everyone!

Growing up my parents heavily criticized and made comments about everyone around us and it made me deeply insecure and anxious my whole life. Didn't heal from it until well into adulthood.

If they are talking about others negatively so freely in front of you, they are undoubtedly comfortable talking about YOU negatively behind your back.

took me way too long to make the connection between "why does my mom always have something to say about people's appearance" and "I wish I was invisible"

This is why in families where 1 kid is overly criticized & 1 isn't, the kid that isn't will still have tons of anxiety. Just expressed differently. 😭

my mum would comment on peoples weight, clothes, skin, hair, the way they talked or walked, and then she wonders why I've got crippling social anxiety (and yes she's a boomer)
