Fear of Other People's Opinions
Fear of other people's opinions, known as FOPO, stems from the anxiety of not meeting others' expectations, leading individuals to prioritize external validation over authenticity. Understanding that many people share this fear can bring relief. FOPO can be detrimental, hindering individuals from realizing their full potential as they may conform to others' expectations rather than pursuing what is best for themselves. The fear of public speaking often revolves around this fear, as individuals fear judgment more than physical harm in such situations.
