do you care of what someone thinks/says about you? how do you react if you find out that they say mean things about you?

It depends a lot on who says the mean things about me. Generally, I don't care, as everybody has the right for an opinion and if what the others say about me doesn't make me have some negative happenings, like getting involved in a fight or losing some material thing, then it leaves me without a reaction. Many people have said that they have never met a person like me who doesn't give a f*ck about what others say about him.

Well, I would say, no one is perfect. And, neither am I. So, people may from time to time see faults in me too. So, I certainly would value what people think and say about me. That would be the chance to give serious thoughts to improve oneself.

I used to care about what people thought about me and so I go out of my way to try to impress people. But nowadays I try not to bother myself and save myself a lot of stress. It seems it doesn't matter what you do people who don't like you will not like you. So I try not to let the things they say or do bother me but it is not always easy as sometimes some of it gets through and it hurts. But I try to be strong and deflect all the bad things they throw at me.

I would be lying if I say that i do not care of what other people think or say about me. I am very sensitive and I have this sort of need to please other people. However, as I grow older, I have learned to appreciate myself more. I have learned that I have my true friends who knows the real me. Hence, even if I hear mean things that have been said about me, I just ignore it. I know the truth and my friends and family knows the truth as well. They have accepted the real me and I do not have to pretend to please them. :0)

I am a very tough girl, I have faced the fact that everything is a percent chance. I can guarantee that a certain percent of strangers and friends will talk about me. A certain percent of them mean no harm or probably don't know me as well as they think they do. And its rare but in some cases my friends i expect to talk trash if we are mad at each other. Now I would like to be mad about it. But the world is to diversified and everyone handles things different. I can not stand talking about others, in most cases I will literally change the subject. But seldom there are people that i meet that i will never like and i will have nothing good to say. I am positive that in 99 percent of the cases I will speak it to their face. But hardly anyone is like me so i really just don't care what others say or think because, if they talk about me and still hang out everyone will learn including me what kind of person they really are eventually. In some cases it ends up being something so petty that it really isn't worth getting mad over.
