...MY view of me vs. THEIR view of me

[TheBridge]

I am really struggling with something that i KNOW many others struggle with too! i am constantly seeing lately that what i think others are thinking of me is really NOT TRUE at all!!

But that is the hard thing... how do you switch off that button in your brain that says "they think u are a bad person"
or... "they are angry at you for saying you cant come to - "
or... "they talk about you behind your back"

i find it so hard to switch those thoughts down- and the weird thing is, i know a lot of the time ill stop myself and say- "where on earth did i get that thought from?"

but it doesn't stop the feelings of those thoughts! and still makes me act on the defense. i really hate that i do this- and sometimes its so overwhelming that i just feel like running away where no one knows me to start again!!!

Any one have any thoughts or any suggestions to help me out?
i dont know what to do
or scriptures??

just talking about it will help you discharge it. that's really all we can do... realizing it is just what it is... and get it out. build up for yourself encouragements and keep growing spiritually. everything will work out.

Never worry about what others think, say or do. It's a free country and people will think whatever the heck they want to.

YOUR view of YOU is all that matters.

Is YOUR view of YOU positive and uplifting? If not, it should be.

When YOUR view of YOU is positive and uplifting, other's view of you will mirror that.
