I guess that some of the times when I have been concerned about what other people may think is when I have had to play piano at recitals. I get very nervous and excited at the same time. If I mess up, people would think that I am a terrible piano player, and that has always been a concern.
When I was 5 years old, I was supposed to recite a poem for an event at my kindergarten and I forgot the lines to the poem. I started to cry, but I will never forget that day because I was very embarrassed  I think this mattered to me because I had been practicing so hard to memorize the poem and I wanted to prove everybody that I knew the poem. I guess that I thought I had made a fool of myself. I was embarrassed because I was being watched by strangers and people who were older than me.
I guess in our daily lives we go through different situations that make us be aware of the people around us and make us behave a certain way to avoid being embarrassed.
