Do you ever care about what people think of you?

Question

I usually dont, but there are times when insecurities just pop out in my head. Plus I'm very shy, so I guess that doesnt help much.

Answer 1

Sometimes I do my best to shock them (in the good sense) and to get them talking about me.
I prefer that then they making up stories that aren't true.
But that isn't always possible, unfortunately.
Either way, I only really care when is about something I'm really (really!) sensitive about.

Answer 2

I care a lot what others think, but I don't alter who I am. I DO consider changing the way I do things though, especially if i'm getting a bad reaction. One thing to remember is that in our teens we think everyone is looking at us, everyone is thinking about us, and everyone is judging us. The fact is that you don't stand out any more than the old lady on the back of the bus. Really...nobody's focusing on you that much, and the people you think are 'thinking about you' probably aren't. REALLY! It's a tough stage to get through. Being shy is tough....but it doesn't mean you're less special. You'll get through this. Good luck.

Answer 4

All the time. It doesn't always matter if you are introverted or extroverted, it's just usually the introverted ones that often care about what other people think. It is very normal to care about what other people think, but if it gets in the way of things and you are constantly worrying, then you have a problem.

Answer 5

I try not to, but yet I really do care about what people think of me. I take it really personal about what people say about me. I am really insecure and can't help that. I try to act like I don't care, but I do. I know how it feels, I am really shy too. It actually doesn't help much.

Answer 6

I think its harder not to care about what people think. Everyone wants to be loved and accepted on some level. If you can go on without caring what other people think then u absolutely rock. And don't get down on yourself when those insecurities pop in your head, its normal!

Answer 7

I'm shy to that don't mean much it only mean's that u are scared of some people that u may have a crush on but don't feel bad i just blurted out in front of my whole school that i like Corey Weeks big hottie.

Answer 8

Sometimes I do. For example when it comes to my job. You cannot just go to work and act how you normally would at home or among your friends. But I usually try to by myself is the only way people get to know the real you otherwise you'll be a fake.

Answer 9

nah. i've heard too many times how cute, funny and sweet i am to really care what anyone thinks. if it's negative, i just ignore it. not everyone can be wrong about me, right? :) being shy isn't a bad thing either. it's actually a good thing. or can be a good thing. just have faith in who you are. i know what it's like to have insecurities jump out at you and try to bite you in the azz..don't let them.

Answer 10

I used to. I don't care as much anymore, although sometimes when I go to a more glamour-focused shop (like Charlotte Russe or Victoria's Secret), I'll feel quite self-conscious. I can never look for jobs in malls for this very reason; they're simply too upscale for my tastes.
