Do you care what other people say about you?

I believe that generally people talk about you if you are very popular or if you do something completely out of the way for others to notice it. When it comes to people I know or my friends, what they say about me matters as I believe we tend to miss out so many negatives which creep in or even positives we could develop if we listen to them. The balance between caring about such things and actually being able to implement them is the difficult part. We have a lifetime to learn. So I hope I can keep learning.

actually i dont specially if i dont know them its kindda hard for some people just butt in and say thing about you which is totally outrageous because they dont know you and dont have the right to judge or tell anything about you. I usually talk to the person who is saying things about me to butt off. =) yeap im kindda straight forward

I have gotten to the point where I don't let what others say bother me. It is always going to hurt a little when someone says something negative, but I just let it go. The only people I'm concerned about their opinion is my close family and my employers. As long as they are all happy with me, that is all that matters.

I don't care other people say about me,because is not importan to me. Best regards

unfortunately i do T_T ..i know i shouldn't care about what people say, just ensure that what i do is honest and right and that i try my best in whatever i do..but sometimes people just talk and talk..you can't stop that. just be yourself and try to ignore those nasty remarks, if any. remember, they're not perfect either. nobody is. they're probably just jealous of you or something..you don't have to worry about pleasing others coz you don't always have to live up to other ppl's expectations, just your own.

I don't really care what other people think of me.As long as I know that im not stepping on to others,and im comfortable with myself,I shouldn't be bothered by how other people see me.We can't really please everybody, people would never run out of things to say anyway.:)

I care if other people said about by lackness because I can improve.repaired myself to be abetter man.But I don't care if they talk about my goodness....

I'd be a hypocrite if I say that I won't be affected when other people have negative comments about me. Of course, I would mind, and would feel bad. After all, I think that I always do my best in whatever I do, so when I hear negative feedbacks about me, I am naturally affected. But I am more of examining myself in the way I behave, whether it's acceptable or not; whether what I said or did was not pleasing to people around me. Mind you, even if I feel bad, it would be better if people talk to me, instead of behind my back. When I was in high school, I'd really feel so bad if people talk negative things about me. today, I am not that affected badly as when I was in high school, but negative talks still upset me.

Yeah, I care less about what people say behind my back... they cam say anything they want... the real thing is when they are in front of you, looking in your eyes, then it's time to care, and to react... and kick some butts:)

of course i care what people say about me. Everyone does! don't you?

Well, I really try to not let what other people say get to me. What they think shouldn't really matter; I should be confident in myself, right? And I am for the most part, but sometimes what others say about me does bother me. I think it's mostly the idea that someone is saying something about me period - it doesn't have to be good or bad. And like so many others, I just want to have a good reputation, be well-liked. I think that's just natural for anyone, really. So you're not alone!

You see, the main thing is not to keep your mouth shut when you are in a company. And one should try one's best to always be in good company. The problem is to find such fine people. At least, you can always count on us here, at myLot. Mate, we are here keep our mouth OPEN! So talk, talk and talk unless you talk nonsense! :) By the way, I have some good pieces of advice for you: 1) if you hear anything bad about you but funny, don't get offended, just try to exaggerate/hyperbolise what they are saying, join the fun! You may even redirect the jokes! 2) if what they say is "sad but true" for you, try to act differently, try to find fault with YOU, not with others, which will eliminate the cause for further joking (I always act like this and my wife is angry with me because of that!:)) Hope that'll help.

before i really care what others have to say with me but now i really dont care it does not help...it will only affect your feelings and make u depress...dont be affected it will not make good to u just do what you think its right and be yourself

I am never too bothered when people say untoward things about me, and especially behind my back. Obviously they do it for gossip's sake, and this i am sure is their lame excuse for time pass. If people are really critical of you and want you to change for the better, they they should come up to you and tell you that, rather than utter words in your absence. I admire people who speak straight and firm. I believe their opinions are worth mulling on. But the rest, who dont even have the guts to approach you, are real imbeciles. So why bother about them??

hey man why shud we people care about other say about us... Whatever they said we should be bold and go on with our ideas

It does affect me if i hear that someone is talking about me when i am no where around.. I feel that Be happy and let others be happy...

I do not care about what other people say about me. It is their mouth and they can say what they like. As long as my conscience is free, I can live freely disregard other's gossips. However, I will fight for myself should anyone undermine me in my presence. What I did not hear and do not know, I care less. I do not attempt to please anyone and does not appreciate anyone who tries ways and means to honour and please me. I never like hypocrites and I show it on my face.

yes! it takes a lot of rationalizing on my part to not think about what others think or say about me. it's easy to say forget about it when you hear something being said about you, when they criticize you. good or bad criticism still hurts. and we can't help but agonize over how's and why's of those statement. after some sometime, the sting of those words will come off and i would think of what've been said about me. if i see that they really mean well then i accept what has been said about me and do something about it. if it's just being mean, then i forget all about it.

it would conerns me if those persons are the ones i need to put food on my table. my boss for example. why would I be bothered what the lady down the road have to say about me. or the idiots online that try to shove his stupid women-and-children-killing religion down people's throat.

No, I don't care about what others say, I just consider the negative things they say about me as a challenge to improve what I've done wrong and try to think that it is just their insecurities that drives them to say negative things about me. We cannot please anyone, let's just do what is right and live life to the fulless. Never mind them..;)
