If you’re afraid of what other people might think of you, it comes from that same place. You’re afraid that if others think negatively about you, they won’t accept you and you’ll be left all alone, in danger. So if you need others to always think well of you, that is a continuation of that same original fear. If you regularly go shopping to buy yourself new clothes, it’s because of that same desire; you want to be accepted by others. You’re afraid of rejection. You’re afraid you’ll be abandoned and left alone, with no one to take care of you.
