Who Cares What They Thinks

I’ve seen examples of people who are so weak minded and conditioned to believe that they don't have a choice that they just stick around in a situation that is physically or mentally damaging or humiliating. I once saw an example of this on the internet as a clip (which I won't go into too much details), I was so shocked by what I saw and tried to forget it and wished that I had not seen it, the suffering I saw effected me in such a way that I had to write this article.

I mean all she had to do was just walk away but she didn't, instead she just try to cover the humiliation with fake laughter which soon turned to tears.
Why did she not just got up and leave? if someone hurts you, you don't have to stand there and take it no matter who is watching. I believe she was too weak minded and being on TV probably gave her the impression that she has to co-operate or she would be looked down upon by the media for putting on a scene. By the way this person is an adult, which stress' the fact that many people still don't have enough courage to say no and walk away when it counts even though they are matured and grown up.

The lesson to learn here is do not let others do to you what you do not want and learn to say no. Even if you have to make a scene and break something and have everyone look at you pointing and staring just do it. Some people will do anything (or in the earlier case - nothing) to fit into the crowd to avoid too much attention even if it means being miserable and not being able to express how they truely feel. This is a very sad reality, so much people out there who do not have enough courage to express themselves, I'm not talking about the little things but then if you can't express yourself with the little things how you can do it in the big situations when it really counts.

I'm still working on the little things, trying to do stuff without caring about what other people will think. For example me and my friend went to the cinemas and got a bunch of flyers off the holder and just started handing them out outside the cinemas just to see who would hand out the most, This was to develop courage. I stole a packet of chips once, not a very constructive way to approach the fear so I don't recommend anyone trying this. I started doing things by myself like watching a movie, eating out, etc. I started being honest ALL the time since i know not many people can do that. Everything is a challenge, I do my best to face every fear I have everyday to strengthen my courage and I suggest everyone does the same, start small and build up.
