It's human nature to be concerned about what others think of us, at least to some degree. Whether it be the way we appear physically or the things we say or do, we tend to always take into consideration the opinion of those around us, whether we know them or not.

Why we care so much about what complete strangers think of us is a mystery. But we all do it, and it works both ways because we also tend to pass judgment on others without even realizing it.

For example, do you ever go out to a restaurant and feel like the person serving you is judging what you ordered? Or do you ever feel like you're being criticized by the checkout person at the supermarket?
