Do you ever wonder if you worry too much about what other people think? Sometimes I find myself being way to critical, and thinking to myself that I must have looked or sounded so goofy... Then finally I step back into reality and remember that people are way too busy to worry about every little goofy thing that I do. LOL
What about you? Ever criticize yourself way too much?

Yes, but that is why my wife is here to help remind me that I am not the most wonderul person in the world.
No man is complete until he has a wife and then he is finished.
Thanks for the post as I have made myself a new friend who likes water too.
Good Luck

I have that realization every so often- that I may have done or said something stupid, annoying, weird or whatever but that most people will have forgotten about it. But then sometimes I scare myself because I do sometimes remember the things that other people have done...and I wonder if I matter enough to them that they remember something I have done! THEN I realize that if I mattered that much that I am either important to them and they won't care anyway...or they are that jealous of me that they have to remember something bad about me! Either way I don't really lose!
But I do worry about what others think!! More than I really need to.

LOL I am one of those ppl who really couldnt and doesnt give a flying crap what ppl think of me...My attitude is, if you dont like me/my attitude/what i'm wearing etc etc..turn around and walk away....doesnt bother me any in the slightest...I am headstrong, vocal, silly, serious and quite often a big kid stuck in a grown womans body....if ppl dont like it...dont look or listen LOL I've survived too much and beat too many odds to worry whether or not complete strangers like me or what they think of me..The ONLY opinions I care about are those of my kids and they love me and think I rock LOL

I used to wonder and worry about what others will think. Today, I am less conscious. As long as I am comfortable with myself, I do not bother about other's criticism as long as they are not out to malign me. I have learnt to love myself instead of criticize myself. LOL.

I don't think I worry too much about what other people think, although naturally I would like them to think well of me. What I think is more important to all of is a sense of validation. Just like on this site, we like people to respond to our posts because it lets us know that people are genuinely interested in what we have to say. We don't like to consider ourselves as mundane, uninteresting people that no one considers. I don't worry about it though. I am secure in who I am and thats the most important thing.

As far as do I care what other people think...I think everyone does to a certain point and everyone cares what others think about them and what they are saying about them...but I heard a saying one time and its true...people are going to talk about you from the time you are born until the time you die..just take pleasure in knowing that you are the center of their world...I do criticize myself alot on things I do...like if i dont get enough extercise during the day...and whenever I am working I do it alot too!
