I have been seeing someone for the past few months. I have told nobody. I have also asked him to tell nobody as I am a very private person. This is true ... but another reason is that I'm worrying what people will think.
He's a lovely person but does act a bit odd. I can look past that but I know other people won't and they will wonder why I'm with him.
This week I decided it was ridiculous carrying on the way I was and I told myself I didn't care what people think. Then last night a friend said to me "where's that wierd bloke you were with last week?" and it just put me back down again because it confirms that people do think badly of him and it wasn't just me being paranoid.
Why do I care what people think and how do I stop?
