 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
I found that the less I cared whether I spoke well or badly, the less badly I spoke, and gradually the nervous strain diminished almost to vanishing point.

* a brief comment
People don't care about others (you) as much as they think they do, unless they are in a special relationship, such as family, friends or lovers. Russell advises us not to be ‘too self-conscious.’
