What should I do if judgment from others is blocking me from moving forward?

You need to deal with why you care so much about their opinions. Consider who these people are and whether they really belong in your life close enough to hold you back. Until you resolve this, it will continue to haunt you. Sit down with a pad and paper and analyze why you’re being bothered or have anxiety over their judgment. Once you have awareness of what it really is, you start poking a hole in the problem and the air slowly gets released over time. That’s how you get past it.
