Which two sets of lines in this excerpt from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" suggest that the speaker is concerned about how he relates to others? And indeed there will be time For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, Rubbing its back upon the window panes; There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea. In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo. And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?" Time to turn back and descend the stair, With a bald spot in the middle of my hair— (They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!") My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— (They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!") Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

On Plato, the answer is *There will be time, there will be time. To prepare a face to meet the faces you meet.* and *They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"etc...*

This is because he is imagining what they are going to say to him, giving off a feeling of self-doubt.
