How do you get to the point where you don't give a crap what people think?

Answer 1

By being a really good listener.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say I don't give a crap about what they think ALL the time because that would be very self centered. You learn to separate 'the wheat from the chaff' (I'm full of bad metaphors today)

Experience and soul searching. Eventually many people come to the conclusion that what people think doesn't have a direct impact on you as a person or anything you stand for.

The road to this place isn't easy; it's filled with angst and anguish and lots of insecurity. In the end, for me, it was worth it. Even now I still have times when I care a bit 'too much' about what someone thinks.

Answer 3

You just do. Age, wisdom, etc. You can't care what people think bec you'd drive yourself crazy.
You can't please everyone all the time. So why try? You are who you are. Why do you care what others think? All that matters is what YOU think about you. You don't need to look outside yourself, you have to look within.

Answer 4

for me, 3 times in mental hospitals, thinking I was gonna die, chronic pain, parents being sick, failing marriage, trying to get with somebody I fell in love with who is unreachable,

now its like, I slept, I get sex sometimes, no chronic pain, some money (not much but some money), my mind is fairly clear

its a good day

if somebody doesn't like me, whatever, maybe I should help them if I have time or inclination, maybe not
