Psychology: Do you especially care about what others think? Do you know how to change it?
In life there is always such a person, they will be particularly concerned about the views of others. And therefore in dealing with others often become cautious, obsequious, afraid of where not to do a good job, leading to other people's criticism and accusations. Even some times the other party has not shown any dissatisfaction, they themselves are first nervous and sensitive, like a child who is afraid of being blamed for a mistake, the inner fear of not being able to.

The Best Mindset for Minimizing Stress
It's tough to navigate stress. Part of the problem comes from how not many of us have developed effective ways for dealing with it. In general, social scientists agree that avoidance of stress is not a very effective coping strategy. A lot of (most?) life's stressors are unavoidable and cannot be avoided, but most people can still find ways to relax during difficult times. Although we have to cope with these changes, the best way to deal with them is to prepare in advance. People can get better at how they interpret the stress they experience, but we can't learn to be immune to it.

Stop Overthinking Your Future
When I was a kid I remember my parents telling me they were going to take me on my first rollercoaster. I imagined what it would be like as a new experience for my 8-year-old self. I remember thinking that the roller coaster would go so fast that it would fall off the rails and that would be it for me. As you can tell by the fact that my adult self has written this article, that's not what happened. I actually loved the roller coaster and have been on many more since.
