Never feel embarrassed or ashamed, and do not overestimate others' interest in you. People who are afraid of embarrassment and shame essentially have too strong a self-consciousness; they care too much about others' evaluations of themselves, which leads them to stay fixed in their comfort zones and not dare to try new things they like. Because they fear embarrassment and cannot take the first step, they miss many opportunities for personal growth. Remember, you do not have that many audience members. Even if you make a mistake, not caring about others' evaluations of you will mean you will never feel embarrassed. You must live authentically.

As long as you worry about how others perceive you, they can enslave you. Only when you no longer seek affirmation from outside yourself can you truly become the master of your own being. When you are truly strong and abundant within, the fact that others ignore you, reject you, or do not respond to you will not easily lead you to self-denial or the level of feeling unloved. In fact, self-confidence is allowing myself to be denied; you may think I am not good, but that does not mean I am not good. That is your judgment, and I do not need to agree with it.
