So, people are judgmental mostly. They judge you base on what you wear. If you wear tacky clothes, you are not trendy, and you are not clean. If you look different than other people, you are outcast. If you are a little into book, you are a nerd. So, do you care what other people think of you? You got your own style, your own life, and you just be yourself.

I do think about what other people say, but I don't base my life on it. People's comments and opinions are worth considering, especially if it is done with the intention of helping you. But you should always live your life the way you want to.. not the way they want to.. At the end of the day, it is still your life, and no matter what they say, it's your happiness and contentment that is on the line and not theirs. =)

i don't how people look at me or approach me, and i don't give a damn how they stare at me, my point is it's me i am living for not not for them. stare, look all they want i don't care i'm used to that, criticism and all of that, but i never let it get it into me, cause it'll just be unhealthy for me.

i could not care less what people think of me. i live my life for me not for them. if they do not like my clothes, my style, my weight etc it is their problem and do not care to know their opinions. they mean nothing to me. i do not believe in judging others based on how much money they have or don't have or what they wear or how fat or thin they are. we are all people and that is what is important. no one is any better than anyone else but much of the world does not think that way.

Yeah, every person has his/her own personalities, style and life. Everyone of us has the rigth to chooes who we want to be and how we want to live our life. I agree some people do have the thinking that if you look different than them, or you just simply do not as trendy as them, then you're outdated in their mindset. For these kind of people, i don't think we really need to care how they look at us, because the way they're looking at other people is wrong. We shouldn't judge others by merely looking at their appearance. The inner beauty, or characteristics are indeed more important than any others, don't you think so? For me, i also do not care much how others looking at me, as long as i'm not doing anything wrong or harmful to others, then i think i'm fine with my own style. I only will care about those people i really care, and their opinion are important for me.

Don't care about anyone. Just wear what you want to wear. They are nobody to judge you. Only you can judge yourself the best.

Its true that some people are really judgmental about the way you look. You can't take it away from somebody and thats how life goes. I have my own style and I wear what ever feels comfortable with me. I am what I am. I don't care if someone tries to judge me just because how I dress. I dress depending on the occassion. This happened in real life here in my country, the Philippines. There was one guy wearing flip flops in a laptop store, nobody was entertaining him because of the way he dressed. When he said that he will buy a laptop and will pay it in cash, the staffs in the store was stunned! They didn't expect a guy like that has 50,000pesos in his pocket! Don't judge a book by its cover.

Hello there! I really don't mind at all how people look at me because I know, I really can't prevent their interpretations of me physically..everyone is entitled to his own opinion towards a person, object, or event. For as long as I dress decently and act kindly towards others, I really don't really mind about other's prejudices.

Most people judge other people by how they look and what they wear and this is so wrong. I am a part time model and often model in lingerie and people espicially guys thinks that it means i am up for fun all the time. I don't really care what people think as me, my fmaily and friend's know I am not like that at all.

I think being judgmental is part of our nature. We say we don't judge but you never know you are saying the part of judging someone already. I don't mind being judge, but it hurts sometimes, I always tell them don't judge a person too much, you don't know the person.

I'm getting too old to worry about that! Just a couple more years and I can wear mismatched stripes, plaids and prints and everyone will nod and smile and think I am a cute old lady! Until then, I am clean and presentable... I like it that way and I don't really care as long as I am also comfortable! I am me!! I enjoy being me!!

i don't care what others think about me as long as i'm not doing anything bad to others and as long as i'm happy with my life. they don't have anything to do with me so their opinions about me should not be given any kind of importance or value.

i have not cared what people think about me in a long time, somewhere along the way i lost the desire to please people, sometime when i was round about 12. my style of dress has been described by others as goth, i call it post- apocalyptic chic, mainly made up of the color black witg combat boots as staple. i get funny looks wherever i go, i am so used to it now that it only usually affects the people that i am with at the given time. i could care less what people think of my dress style, i like it and i am comfortable in it. i feel safe in my armor. not all the attention is negative there are some who find it fascinating and others who like it. either way i do not wake up and get dressed for them in the morning. why be judgemental of what is different. i think it indicates fear and ignorance, if we were all the same what a dull little world we would live in. it is our differences that make us so great and unique. i love the diversity that i see when i step outside, granted i do sometimes wonder what some people were thinking because after all has been said and done it is better to dress for you body type, whether you are wearing ratty old clothes or trendy ones or alternative ones, it should be more about wearing what you are comfortable in and what suits your body type.

It used to bother me a lot when I was a teenager that I didn't have trendy clothes and consequently I didn't have many friends. But I grew out of it. I really don't give a crap anymore. I wear whatever I like, and if people have a problem with that then they're not worth my time anyway. I just don't see the point in spending my entire earnings on brand name clothing just to please some shallow idiots who can't get past appearance.

Hi there Clorissa! You are right. Most people judge others through the way they act, talk, dress, among others. I generally don't care about what other people may think of me but there are some instances that I do like when applying for a job when you have to sell yourself and prove that you are worthy to be a part of the company where you're applying for.

No, clorissa123, I do not mind how other poeple look at me. I wear the clothes I like the best take no attention to fashion what so ever, for me clothes are suppose to be comfortable. My shoes are needed to be able to walk in, so I never wear high heals....But yes, people are judgemental and even if you are looking for a job it can be tuff if you are outcasting from the amount in general. To bad I think, but it is the reality.

I don't care what people think , Everyone is going to have their own opinion anyway, and they are probably all wrong about me . What I don't like is being stared at, it's just rude .

People that stare at You are really anoying, but I usually stare back, or just get intront and ask what they want. A simple question - do you want anything? That usually do the trick and make the person feel stupid...

Hello clorissa123!!! I don't think most people are judgmental regarding the clothes we wear, unless our clothes are extra ordinarily good or very very bad. If we are uncomfortable with our dress and at that time if we look at the peoples eyes, we get into illusion that they are thinking about our dress. At least, I don't keep judging the dress being wear by people unless they are extra ordinary. Regarding clothes, I just like to maintain that its not really bad. Then after that I may have good, just okay or very nice dress. But I don't care a lot about it. But rather than the dress, I care about what the people think of my attitude, my behavior. I want to lead a totally rational life and with that I want the people identify me with the same. Happy mylotting...

No, I don't mind at all. As long as I'm not hurting anyone or not bothering them, I don't see any reason why they'll do it to me. Physical appearance don't matter that much, its more important that if you're smart, with strong personality and self-confidence... regardless of what you wear, if a person is polite and clean and has this fine qualities its enough. People will always have a say, even if you're not doing anything, so just do whatever makes you happy as long as you're comfortable. Those people are already busy minding other's business, you don't need to return the favor coz there are more valuable things that you can attend to than wasting your time with losers like those.

I personally don't care how people look at me, what they think about me, or what they say about me. I've chosen to live my life without that care. I believe that if I worry about what other people are saying, doing or thinking, it will not allow me to live my life to my fullest potential. We all have different reasons to be living our lives, and judging others is not one of them. I always believed that a person is more worried about you than they are themselves then they must really look up to what type of person you are and wish they could be more like you. To me people chose to be judgemental because their own lives aren't worth analyizing. And if they chose to analyze their lives they'll realizing that they haven't focused on themselves at all but rather have focused on what everyone else is doing. In the end they'll realize they didn't live life to it's fullest, and well they simply won't have many friends to depend on when that time comes. Take Care
