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

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.

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.

Because, trust me, the world moves on a lot faster than we think.

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.

I was ready to bolt when my friend walked up to me, grinning ear to ear. “You look like a dream,” she said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Do "flat-earthers" attempt to sail around the world to prove their theory? Would this support their belief in a flat Earth?

It was the first time I wore a saree in college. Excited yet nervous, I draped myself in my mother’s teal-blue saree, which she had lovingly ironed and handed over with that proud twinkle in her eye.

And so should we.

The problem with caring too much about what others think is that we hand over our control to people who might not even notice us the way we think they do.

There is any scientific evidence that we live in a sphere. Why do others say that we lives in a flat Earth but there is no evidence that they have proven the existence of a flat earth?

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?”

Take care!
