being judged during everyday activities lowers your self esteem

.: |: . evidence \ reasoning .: |: .

        when doing your every day activities, it feels like a normal routine. there is nothing wrong with you doing what you do every day. but what happens when you start to get judged? what happens when the things that you used to normally do are being picked apart and thought-down on? that might lower your self esteem. you might start to feel depressed or uncomfortable. you were just doing your everyday life, right? if my schedule and day to day life started getting pulled apart and judged, i would get upset, and possibly mad. i wouldn't want to do my schedule everyday, knowing that it was going to get judged. being picked and judged would affect your life because not only is someone else thinking down on you, you start to think down on your life. you start to feel that your worth lowers, and that your worth is in the hands of someone else.
