It is probably a stumbling block for many - so you are not alone! If the action you are taking or wanting to take meets with your own personal values, then you likely should take the action regardless of your fears of what others will think. Value based goal setting can be very helpful in identifying why we don't take actions on some things: Is it because the action is contrary to one of our values, or is it out of fear? HTDIY,

I've always cared too much about what other people thought to the point of holding myself back. I think it's important to take into account what others will think about the action, however you shouldn't do so at the expense of forward motion. Unfortunately, there is a fine line between the "I don't give a darn what anybody thinks" kind of people and the "I need to do whatever it takes to make EVERYONE happy" kinds.
