Im pretty self-conscious if Im honest, mostly to do with how I look and what people will think of me if I behave in a particular way - at school.

At home I really dont give a crap lmao, and at parties I can loosen up if Im around a fair amount of people I know well and get on with.

So Id say, about 7.

Maybe a 6? I tend to mull over thing alot, like little comments people say. Drives me mad lol

I can be like that too, and I worry I might have offened somebody even though what I said wasnt really that bad anyway LOL.

Hmm.
- I won't change clothes if someone else is in the room - this includes taking off a shirt.
- I won't be seen in anything less than a t-shirt and shorts. Even if I were swimming.
- I often worry that people on the bus can hear my iPod and are judging what I'm listening to.
- I adjust my hair all the time.
- I check my blog for comments about 10 times a day; I'm not actually bothered by criticism I just crave attention and feedback LOL
- I'll do really stupid "polite" things in front of people - like always covering my mouth if I cough or yawn... it's really quite stupid.

But then again:
- I've been out with just pyjamas on.
- I wear ridiculously loud and obnoxious clothing in general.
- Oim fat loik.
- I generally don't judge people by appearance (in the long-term at least) so I generally expect the same courtesy.

Hard to gauge. I'm really shy around new people at social events yet I'll talk the ear off someone at the bus stop. I used to be worse though when younger and tend now not to give a sh!t so about 7

[Jordan.]

Quite a lot around new people, probably because I always end up doing something to embarrass myself.

Infront of my friends not at all!

Yeah, that's me, too ..... but I still rate an 8 .....

[King Gizzard]

With every year I care less how I look...it's natural

[Lee.]

I don't, and never have, given a **** about what people think of me.

Same but not on the bus just next to me in private study or in class. Ill just play music I think will be classed 'acceptable' :L

And whenever somebody looks at my iPod I tell them 'I have a load of crap on there', even though I dont think its crap its just so I feel I wont be judged too bad

[King Gizzard]

Ohh..for some reason I thought this was about appearance

well, shy at first, like most people are, but once I know you I'm a crazy bastard

One thing I'm always concious of is eating in public. If you grab a sarnie or something in town and are like...."is the filling around my mush??"

Fine if you're with a mate or something, you can ask them, but alone you could be paying at a counter with mayo down yer chin

[Princess]

I like to think I don't care what people care, but I always feel self concious if I'm not sure about an outfit I have on, or if I'm just getting random evils for no reason. I don't even own make-up though and I'll chat to just about anyone. So 5?

[Niamh.]

I'd say about a 4, I used to be a lot more self concious when I was younger

[CharlieO]

Sometimes I am sometimes I'm not. I feel so much more self-conscious in England than over here.

[Stu]

I'm very self conscious in the sense that I realize all that going on around me and can pick up on events and emotions but in the sense of this thread being geared more towards a 'how shy/insecure etc are you' about certain things then ... no not at all. I accept the outside world whilst remaining largely oblivious to it.

[Ninastar]

8/9

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

when I am self conscious it's at it's worst. So that number is not even in the poll

[Doogle]

I don't care what people in general think of me, unless I'm friends with them. I have a big nose but I'm so used to people commenting I don't actually care about it now. Also I worry about if people think I'm funny, cos I've been told most of my personality is made up of my humour so I always worry (not online, just generally in person) people think I'm a complete fail and that I'm the only one who thinks I'm funny.

Even around people I don't care about making a twat out of myself though, I do on a regular basis. For instance this girl I met at a drama thing, her name was Elise but I wanted to call her Carmen cos she looked like some girl called Carmen I recognised. So I go up to her and say "car.." then realise and walk off. She thought I was a total lunatic.

Also I get so self conscious about my music. I barely let my girlfriend see the music on my iPod.

[Niall]

Hmm well I'm actually very self conscious. >_> Like:
-I will never change in the same room as someone else.
-I always worry my hair looks a mess, so I always keep fiddling with it even though it probably isn't necessary.
-Whenever I talk about the music I like, I always end up saying the artist's name in a lower voice because I worry that people around me will laugh at me.
-When I'm listening to music on the bus or whatever, I worry that someone might ask me a question and when I answer, I end up speaking to loudly.
-I hate answering my phone on the bus because everyone else can hear my conversation.
-I hate ringing people in general cause I always worry that the whole phone call is gonna be really awkward or that I'll **** up and say something stupid.
-I don't like wearing any shirt that feels tight. It makes me think everyone can see how fat I am. If I do have to wear a tight-ish T-Shirt, I'll always wear a hoddie or a shirt over it to conceal my body a little.

I have more examples but I'd be here all day if I listed them all. O_O

[Stu]

My god you are a pack of neurotic bastards.



Two words : ***** it. It's the bestest, most helpful philosophy in the world.
