When someone judges you, it's just their opinion, shaped by their own beliefs and experiences. Recognizing that their judgment belongs to them, not you, can instantly lower social anxiety. The speaker uses a salsa example to show how people's tastes differ.

Chapters

Something you can do today to reduce your anxiety is to change the word judgment for opinion. A lot of people have social anxiety, the fear of being judged by others, but we do judge others. It's part of our survival instinct, so let's not pretend it's not happening. But a judgment is just an opinion. An opinion based on their beliefs, their values, their experiences. It's theirs. Don't make it yours. I love salsa music. Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but we can have a differing opinion on the need to get up and dance when that music comes on. So change judgment for opinion and feel your anxiety reduce.
