how to become mentally stronger and to care less what others think?

Answer 1

Do a nudie run through your local :)

But seriously, try taking a time out once a week. Once a week I go for a walk with my head phones on, find a really busy place to walk through..... Like the streets of Sydney for example. I find it grounding, it has made me realise how little notice other people take of you and others around them. It also gives you time to think about everything going on in your life. You can go anywhere you like on a whim, plus you get exercise as an added bonus.
I am sometimes gone for a whole day, I just tell my friends I'm off exploring.
It keeps me sane :)

Answer 2

to care less what other think you have to like your image of yourself it is a hard thing to do sometimes as we often define who we are and if we are 'worthwhile' according to common social perceptions if you can find positive aspects about your roles in different groups e.g. your family, school etc in order to become mentally stronger perhaps you need to abandon the idea that you are mentally weak even by acknowledging that you want to become mentally strong is a sign of your mental strength you are not afraid to admit that you are not perfect and you have taken steps to find out how to solve your imagined problem i find good music helps but i think you are mentally stronger than most people for asking the question

Answer 3

Work out - increases oxygen flow to the brain.

Drink water - 2.5 litres, every day.

Vitamins. All of them. Also minerals. Take normal dosage supplements. Wash them down with meat, eggs, milk and at least five different portions of fruits and vegetables every day.

Read more. A lot more. Books, not web pages.

Go out and take longer walks, if you can find a place where you can go out for long walks. More oxygen into your brain.

Finally, meet more people on a daily basis. Go out more, hang around libraries, if you can. Get into creative writing and even poetry and art. Read scientific journals and encyclopaedias. Keep studying, even if you don't have a formal qualification to study for.

All the above effects work together and accumulate. You'll also be much healthier, especially if you avoid drinking excessively and don't smoke or abuse drugs at all.

Good luck.

Answer 4

It takes time. But sometimes you catch yourself in the act of caring what others think and you just kinda have to be like... wait. I don't care if they think this i stupid... i believe it's right. You know?
And honestly as you get older all that caring what other think totally goes away (and i don't mean old old i mean once you're in university it leaves. it's basically just high school for most people that they're mentally weak and care what others think) you could also try a psychologist.. seriously. They're not for crazy people, everyone should go to see one♥

Answer 5

As you go through life, you will notice many people have nothing better to do than to have their noses always in your business. Their own lives are a literal wreck, but they insist on sticking their noses where they are not wanted. Just be the best person that you can be and shut those busy bodies out of your mind.
Don't give them power over your life, they are not worth it. Think positively always and believe in yourself. Like they say, no one can make you feel bad unless you give them permission to do so. I hope this helps a little. You were made in Gods image, so you are special. Those people are the ones with the problem, not you.

Answer 6

The answer is a word that people don't like or don't understand. Humility. Humility isn't thinking that you are worth nothing, it is knowing your place in life.

If a person is humble, they cannot be insulted. They know themselves, so insults have no effect. Neither does flattery or manipulation.

Having a true view of yourself protects you against the views others try to impose on you.

So, do not think too little or too highly about yourself. Have a sense of humour about what other people say. Realise that what other people say about you is not important. Do not be defensive or argumentative or try to justify yourself.

Answer 7

I think that is a tricky one because we all like the approval of other people. However, on issues that we feel strongly about we should follow our own consience. I think that to get stronger and not rely on others quite so much, you need to make your own decisions, after consulting if you must, you will then gain confidence from realising that you are capable of getting it right on your own. Take responsibility.

Answer 8

You can't control what other people think. In fact, the only thing that matters is what you think about yourself. If you like yourself, then you will most likely have a positive perception of what others might be thinking about you. After all, how in the world are you going to know what other people think of you unless they simply say it straight out. You see what you want to see. We perceive external events based on our past experiences and upbringing. If you think very little of yourself, then you will most likely make negative inferences about other people because you do not like yourself and you are projecting.

Answer 9

This needs constant awareness and practice.This is also linked with the nature of the people.Some are as cool as cucumber from the birth,others are excited ,nervous and sentimental from the Day 1.However one must try to remain cool and unperturbed at all time.At time medication may also be helpful.

Answer 10

Ask yourself, what difference does it make to me what others think ? Will doing something that I like make me happy, or should I not do it because I'm worried about what Joe Soap thinks.

For example, I'm a bloke who likes doing embroidery. I do it because I enjoy it. When some people find out they think it's a bit strange, but that affects them, not me. I still enjoy it, and am not going to stop just because it's a bit out of the norm.
