Rūta Grašytė BoredPanda staff
Sometimes, when you say something stupid or are insecure about the way you look – it can feel like everyone is staring at you. Even though they’re probably not.
Writer Willie Muse and illustrator Paul Westover have teamed up and created a set of comics showing the difference between how the world looks when you feel self-conscious and how it actually looks. Created for College Humor, the comics are so on-point, I’m sure you’ll relate!

What do you think ?
Sadly, I can relate
sadly, everyone except some douchebags can relate
So if you are not paranoiac about others point of view about you, you are a douchebag?
Just because some people are confident in their bodies or minds does not mean they are 100% douches :) (just sayin)
You know what... I know people who don't think everyone incling their friends secretly hate them....
Wow, I am a douchebag, apparently.
You'll have to forgive him Marioara, he's an intensive panda lol
Jesus fucking christ you don't have to be weak to be a good person. Yes, some people can be happier, healthier, better looking and feel more secure than you without being bad people. This kind of bullshit that you make up to feel better about yourself is pathetic. Grow up and work on yourself!
I think you don't need to be like that all the time to be able to relate. We all have those moments. Except for douchebags. :P
please explain how not thinking that everybody secretly hates you equals being a douchebag.. actually is more humble to accept that plenty of people do not care about you at all imho
Can confirm, am douchebag.
Who cares, I'm beautiful!
Oh, way too relatable. Also, when given compliment, immediately think it's a pity-compliment.
I can't shake the feeling that if someone compliments me, it's either out of pity or they are saying that I am pretty or whatever for someone like me, but not as pretty as pretty people are, or that they might like me but that means they have a weird taste, or that they are trying to get something by complimenting me... compliments are always the worst.
OR that it's a polite compliment
I can never take compliments seriously. I have an automatic internal response like "they're confused and this isn't valid"... and so I tend to ignore them. It's rude towards the complimenter, of course, assuming it's genuine. I really don't know how to handle them.
Yeah, I know.. I find the best way is to just ignore my own suspicions, and say thank you.
Personally, I can get self conscious because I think everyone else is judging me as much as I'm judging them. Yes, I know, I'm terrible.
