A lot of the time people want to please everyone. This makes you fear stepping out of your comfort zone and say what you actually want to say. Instead, open yourself up to the fact that some people just WILL NOT like you whether its justified or not.
Talk to people!!! say what you think and ask questions

Some people are just better at handling it than others. Remember that it’s likely nobody is thinking about you as much as you’re thinking about yourself! If people are judging you, this is something you can either learn and grow from if you do something legitimately wrong, or they’re just being rude and critical for no reason and that’s a reflection on them. Give others grace, patience, and the benefit of the doubt and hopefully they’ll do the same for you.
Not everybody will like you and that’s okay! And as much as we would like to think we can and as much effort as some may put into it, we can never truly control the way others perceive us. Find ways to develop self esteem and confidence that comes from within based off of traits you admire and respect about yourself regardless of what other people think.
I would recommend that you undergo DIY exposure therapy by throwing yourself into lots of social scenarios big and small that make you blush and shake and feel like you want to crawl out of your skin. Go into public places and force yourself to make pleasant small talk with strangers + share something small about yourself with them! Ask people about themselves! Go to a party or an event and make it a goal to talk to X number of people.
But also remember that you don’t have to share your whole personality with everyone you meet and depending on the context and circumstances it may not even be appropriate to do so. So maybe start with identifying aspects of your personality you want to show most consistently with everyone you meet and go from there!

Oftentimes, I'll overly curate myself based on what I think is or isn't acceptable to those around me because I'm scared of being judged by them. I feel like I have a full and vibrant life, but people only skim the surface of it because I'm scared of letting them in. There's so much joy in being accepted and sharing in each other's joys and sadnesses, and I want more of that in my life in the coming year.

Don’t rush anything - including your thoughts - thinking as long as you can before doing has shifted my life tremendously.

I recently found out about this car from Hyundai. The styling is sort of reminiscent of a VW golf but with the modern Hyundai geometric look and I love it. It's an electric car that attempts to have a similar feel that a gas engine might have - even making fake rev noises - the styling is on point and of course being the N model it sure goes fast.
If I had the money I would.
