Do not worry about what others think of you. Focus on the similarities between you and whomever’s judgment causes you anxiety. Focus on the positive aspects of this person. Recognize their shell of insecurity—that their appearance is like a callous that can be smoothed and softened by human connection, by your sincere, empathetic attentions. Be compassionate, and you will lead your friend toward acceptance and happiness.
