Do you care what other people think of you?

When I was younger, it mattered more to me what others thought of me. Now that I've had some experience in life, I care what my boyfriend and soon to be fiance' thinks, I certainly care what my Creator thinks of me and I care what my cats think of me. As far as anyone else is concerned, I don't care one bit. I have some insecurities in life but I'm not insecure with myself at all. I'm not perfect but I like me - most of the time at least. There are far too many other things to be concerned with other than what I do in my life.

I don't care what ever they wanna think about me unless it was not affecting my family. They can think what they want , but never try to harm me or even my family, this would be another thing to deal with which is I am not going to happen. We are given the rights to defend ourselves. People are sometimes taking advantage of your weakness to let your reputation down!

I do not care what other think of me. As you rightly put it, we can't please everybody. It is a waste of time try explaining to them. Only your good friends who really know who you are. I know it is really sad when you heard bad tales about you and they are not true. Let your good friends speak for you. Beside, time will tell.

Not really. If people are going to like me, they are going to really going to like me. If they are not going to like me, then that is really just not something that I am going to lose too much sleep over. If people don't think too much people are, I am going to imagine that they are not going to be the type of people that I'll think well of either. When I was a bit younger, and cared a bit more, that is a lesson that I learned a bit better. But there are just going to be many times where I am just going to sit back and people will think about what they want of me. If they like me, they don't, but if they don't, then they are not worth the slightest breath I have. I think the time has long passed for me to make people like me. Especially when if I have to bend over backwards with people liking me for someone I am not. I would not be able to look at myself in the mirror the next day.

I care a lot what people think about me. I had a lot of occasions when they made a wrong idea about me and this was surprising for me. I came to the conclusion that when I hide myself inside me, people can make a wrong idea about my personality. That's why it's better to be yourself in society and act as you are in fact.

There are people who have personality problem and basically I am kind of hurt when some people think of me negatively but I don't mind them at all and just leave them without notice. By the way, we have this double word called individual differences each one of us and it can not be avoided which it is part of our unique personalities. Well, I suggest you leave them and laugh at them if you heard again to negative people that you meet since they don't know you after all.

Never was and never will be.I don't really care what other people think of me.I have my way of life,I fell good with that way and that is the most important thing - who has another idea or way or thinking about the way I do,it's only his problem.

I don't care if some people think bad of me if my conscience is clear.I don't need to prove them anything.I'll just let them be as long as they won't spread it as a false rumor.

There is an old biblical saying that I think it quite true and that is "Judge not others or else you'll be judged". This is not the way the world works though if you look around and see what other people are doing. If other people think bad of me, then they are obviously judging, and it has to be OK with me. If it is not OK with me, then it still won't make any difference to what they are thinking, so it's a waste of time to get stressed about it. Let them think it! It is not easy to develop this feeling/attitude, but it is possible, if I practice the art of letting go and let them think whatever they want to think. Malicious gossip though, is something else, and if I hear about it, I will confront the person. Fortunately, I have never heard anything malicious, as if it was really malicious, it would be certain to come back to me if my friends heard anything. _Derek

Honestly, I might care what others think about me if they are people who are really close to me. They might just be concerned because they see some changes in me or in someway my changes affects those who are around me as well. But if they are someone I am not close to or they just judge me for what they see physically or heard about me, I do not really care. I just see them as insecure people.

I try not to let what other people think of me influence me. I try to do thinks the way I want and not let other people dictate. But sometimes it is not easy to ignore what other people think.

It depends on who they are. I really do not care much about how strangers look on me, they are nothing to do with me, and i do not have the responsibility to make them happy. But if my family members or friends say something to me or want me change a little, i will care about their advice.

A pleasant day Graceekwenx, With reference to your main topic discussion, it is not bad at all if we sometimes consider the opinion of other people. However, in my condition right now, I think, I should avoid it. Thus, I need to get out of the things which really add to my depression. Maybe for now, I should think of myself first instead of letting other people’s opinions influence me that much. After all, indeed, we cannot really please everybody.

I am like a person who really care about what others will think about me.I want get rid of this.But i am not able to get off.I know that, we should not care about what others will think of us and we need to do whatever we like and whatever we want in life.But in some situations i feel very bad,if anybody thinks about me in negative way.I want to prove them that i am not like what they think about me.

I'd like to say that a stranger's opinion of me has no effect. But I'd be lying. I work in customer service and I work my butt off to be very nice and helpful. So it really upsets me when a customer complains about my attitude. I obsess over what I did, and how possibly viewed it as offensive. I use the feedback to just try and be better the next time. But gosh darnit, why didn't they like me the first time?!

I used to be cautious on what others think of me. Whatever they think of me is none of my business. What they thought is their own. The more they think about you, the more they make their life miserable. You can prove them who you are by being you. Just be yourself.

Me it depends.I do care what they says about me,and i will confront them.They maybe wrong about what they say,and they maybe right.But if i heard something that is not to please me, i confront them.

I don't care what they might think about me especially to those people who don't know me personally at all.It is sometimes bothering but as long as it is not true and I know myself well than them.There are lot of things that I do rather than bothering myself on them.In case of friends,I really care of what they might think about me especially if they hear some rumors that are definitely not true.

what others think about me does not define me. i know myself better and i appreciate those who support me.

It doesn't matter what they think about you, just keep doing your thing, eventually they will realize they were wrong, because when they judge you, they are trying to cover their own insecurities, believe me they are afraid of being judged just like you, but they find refuge in doing it to you and yet they have a heavy load on their heads themselves. So hey, do your thing!!!
