Girls aren't so different. The whole feeling of being judged is just more intense.

Peter Coors had an absolutely all-time great quote: "Don't worry about what other people think of you, because they don't."
I was thinking about that this afternoon after riding mass transit. Two women struck up a conversation because one thought the other looked familiar. By the time they got off, they knew more about each other than I know about some of my family. I thought about that, and the fact that you have to be really freaky for people to give you a second thought around here. And that's a by-product of an urban area with a tremendously diverse culture.
Essentially, I think self consciousness is a sign of homogeny and immaturity. A remnant from the halls of high school.
