Do you care what others think of you?

There's the part of a rat that's just under his tail. That's how much I care.

 

Everything I needed to know in life I learned in kindergarten, when it became clear to me that the world is full of blithering idiots. For example, a quarter of the developed world still insists the sun revolves around the earth, and over 90% believe they are better than average at detecting misinformation, or bullshit, and half of them casually spread bullshit all the time online. Let's just say I gave up trying to impress them long ago. They're too easy to impress.

 

I doubt very much others think of me...

 

Never cared. If someone is talking about you. That means said party is taking time out of their day to think about you

 

i worry about what others might DO about it. other then that, i'm more concerned with what i'm making life like for them, if anything, that what they claim to be their impression of me.
its not that it never crosses my mind, its just that there's other things way more important to me. like being not robbed of thinking my own thoughts by their demands for attention.

 

Only some people.

 

I used to but I don’t anymore. Can’t please everyone.

 

Not only no but, Hell No!

 

Certainly and emphatically not !!! - Don't give a stuff - have been called many names in my time in employment.

 

Not at all

 

I used to when I was young and unsure of my own identity. Now I know where my head is at and if someone can't accept me as I am that's their problem. I'll live my life my way.

 

I used to as a kid, then I grew up and started to realize how the world works, most people are selfish and most people I've ever met are either ignorant or arrogant or both. Why would I waste a second of my life worrying about their opinion of me, I don't care about them so their opinion is worthless to me.

 

I suppose it never goes away completely. If you like someone you want them to like you. But a sign of maturity is being able to accept rejection. You don't like everyone you know and can't expect everyone to like you.

 

I used to very much so but know that I’ve talked to a councillor I now think fuck it if you don’t like me then you don’t have to look or talk to me I’m still shy but getting better every day with my self image and what not because I now love who I am. So you should too

 

I know right I now do what I want when I want whenever I want because it makes me happy I just do I don’t overthink things anymore. I know it’s hard because you’ve done it for so long and you will get there have faith with yourself

 

Nope and I never have really

 

I gave up bothering about it eventually. My layman's philosophy is currently "no one cares about my opinions - I don't care about others' opinions". This rule applies indiscriminately to everyone, starting from relatives and acquaintances instead of excluding the people closest to me.

 

Yes it is

 

Actually there are some people whose opinions I respect and some who respect my opinions. It's a form of trust that takes a while to establish. But if your opinion of me is that basically I'm not a good person then we shouldn't be interacting. You go your way and I'll go mine.
