"私たちはみんな自分自身を他の人よりも愛していますが、自分の意見よりも他人の意見を気にしているのには驚かされます。"
Simplified meaning
People often think highly of themselves and put their own needs first, but surprisingly, they care a lot about what others think of them. For example, imagine a student who is very confident in their abilities and knowledge. They truly believe they are smart and capable. However, when it comes to giving a presentation, they might feel extremely nervous about how their classmates will judge them, even though they know they've done a good job. They spend more time worrying about the opinions of others rather than trusting their own judgment. This can happen in many areas of life, like choosing what to wear, making career decisions, or even posting on social media. To live a more relaxed and happy life, try to focus more on your own thoughts and feelings rather than stressing about what other people might think of you.
