Consciousness

Why is it that people become so afraid of what people think of them. I mean it is different on different levels of course, but what is the reason for the mass hysteria when someone finds out something about them they they don't like. Or when some one makes the slightest comment regarding appearance or that sounds judgmental or cross. This is why I am fond of actors. They are completely comfortable with who they are, as they must to stay in the profession. Or if they are not comfortable they don't fall in to fits of hysteria when they find that others are talking behind their back, because to them it is just another day in the life to have that happen. I don't really have much more of a point to this post besides that however insecure you are, you must realize that people will talk about you no matter how beautiful you appear and how comfortable you are with yourself, so ignoring this fact and acting as though it doesn't happen is not the smartest idea.
