Opinions are just what they are

Many people have allowed their lives to be too much controlled by the opinions of others. When people say different things about you, why do you worry? Why do you even give a damn? They are simply voicing what they think about you, as what people think and say about you is not who you are but what you think and say about yourself. Good Morning to you.

It is still not nice to be thought of negatively.

This is a concept that is often difficult to grasp. When I was younger I used to listen to the opinion of other people and felt hurt when they said negative or damaging things I would find this very stressful. Now I understand human nature more and I am not as worried about the negative opinions of other people. Many people are conditioned to think certain ways by their upbringing, some are not very intelligent, others are easily influenced by social pressures to believe certain things, some need to feel a sense of power that they can't get from elsewhere.
