Are you seeming to be something you're not?
In your heart of hearts, are you?
I can tell you, when I walk up the road with a can of lager in one hand and a copy of Megahex in the other I'm perfectly at ease with myself even as I run into the swarm of children walking back from school and they inevitably start yelling to me and asking what I'm reading.
This is because I am not thinking about anything but what I'm doing - because I enjoy it to the extent that the judgement of others is an irrelevant speck.
However, some people find it hard to enjoy anything without it being tainted by their own anxieties.
These people, perhaps they are crippled by their concern over what others think and should habituate themselves to a more indifferent mindset in order to achieve contentment.
