We wouldn't be as concerned with what other people think of us if we realized just how seldom they actually do.
As long as you’re not hurting yourself or other people then do what you want, IMO many people have a fixed idea of who they should be, put there by society, so they act this out every day, their life is an act, just relax and be yourself.
It’s nice when others take the time to think of you —- I always consider what someone thinks of me Knowing what someone thinks of me does not define who I Am .. I am always caring so hopefully if someone is thinking of me it is good pleasant thoughts ... if not and someone is thinking about me with bad thought ...get the bad thoughts out and my name out of your mudding trucking mouth then ..swish bang boom!!! hahah ..still love
There are only a handful of people who’s opinions matter to me. My spouse and my parents….a couple of good friends. At my age I don’t give a rats ass what others think. One thing my wife said she liked about me….
All of my formative years I was told to act a certain way, dress a certain way, talk intelligently, and if/when needed, stay out of the way. My parents didn't want me to do or say anything that would embarrass them or be embarrassing to them. So to that degree, yes, I care what people think of me because what they think of me is a reflection of me and who I am. But, as I get older, and with the participation here on HIP, I am becoming more comfortable just being myself and leaving it to others to decide what they will. For many, many years I lived my life seriously. But for the past few, I'm just having more fun, joking around and living more fancy free. It's hard to go "all-in" on not caring what others think of me, because to a point I still do. But I'm letting my guard down more and more. Ok, I'm getting off my soap box now.
i care about the kind of world we all have to live in and how doing so makes us feel. what anyone thinks about me as a person is of course up to them, and if they don't, that's fine too. i care about being harassed, i care about the kind of tyrannical hell that is created by people being inconsiderate of each other and of everything else. i'm just, people and money are two things i find less interesting then infrastructure and shelter designed and built in such ways as to harmonize with the land. creating and exploring gratify, all the stuff about people, other then how they treat the land, is just a distraction from things that are interesting or really matter.
Up to a point...........yes a bit(appearance). Wenn it comes to who i am or character..........nah. Mzzls
This is a deep question. What if you are going for a job interview? When I am at a job interview I explain my limitations. I consider it to be undignified to be incompetent at one's job. I would rather be a skilled mechanic than an incompetent doctor. I live in a town of around 3000 people. It would seem to me that I have a rapport with people who are up on the social economic ladder, but generally speaking the people I am unpopular with are the underclass, especially the criminals. Some people you connect with, others you don't. I don't make it my business in life to impress people unless I am going for an audition.
Tough question to answer. Ultimately, no, I don't care, but I also don't have the privilege to not consider it. I'm trans in a social climate where politicians are trying to convince everyone we're all sexual deviants coming for your children. We're as strong as professional athletes. We're everything from mentally ill to demonic. There is a lot of untrue things being said about us out there. How we present ourselves in public is the only way we can counter this. So, like, I don't care what someone thinks about me personally, but as a representative of my community, I have no choice but to play the game and be very conscious about how I'm perceived and thought of.
