2 Quotes by Gillian Butler

Self-consciousness comes from focusing your attention inwards, on to yourself, so that you become painfully aware of what is happening to you. At its worst, self-consciousness dominates your attention and makes it difficult to think of anything else but your inner experience – and this can become totally paralyzing.

Finding within yourself a sense of value that does not depend on your achievements will make you more resistant to crippling self-doubts. Unconditional.
