I don't like it when people watch me put sugar on unsweetened breakfast cereal or in my coffee. I feel the same reaction when the cashier at the grocery store scans the things I'm buying. Does she think I have too much processed/junk food?
What makes you self-conscious?
Very self-conscious when not wearing my glasses but can make out a blurry outline of someone waving. Generally I will put my head down and briskly move along as if I did not notice -- do not want to look like idiot by doing nothing if they are good friend, or wave back if they are total stranger waving at someone else! Aagh.
Carrying anything unusual home on the train. A few times, I have carried home flowers. It never fails that a few people make like they are accepting the flowers while thanking me for being so kind. It was only kinda funny the first time.
I've been self-conscious lately when I am listening to rap in my neighborhood and other people can hear it.. Walking to class with headphones or in the car with the window down.
Very Michael Bolton of me (office space not singer) but dammit I'm allowed to like rap too!
