Fear Quote by Anonymous
““The fear of what other people think is one of the most enslaving and suppressing of all emotional states. If we succumb to this then we are no longer expressing our truth and uniqueness but a version of ourselves that others have insisted that we must ‘be’ if we are not to face their ridicule and condemnation.””
