It's human nature to want acceptance and to "fit in."
It's good to feel like you have people you fit in with, but it's also important that you're strong in your own identity.
You care what they think because you want to have friendship and comraderie.
To stop, you have to find your sense of self and be secure in it. Know what you want, know what you will not take, and stick with it. From there, things will fall into place, and even if you lose your friends because they don't accept the you that knows who you are and would rather have the you that listened and did everything they said, they were never your friends in the first place. Sure, you might be a little lonely, but at least you'll have your own identity.

It's your life, your style, other people don't have any right to care about what you do. Just keep telling that to yourself! Don't care about others. It's all your life, do what you want. Get the point?

Because by nature we want to be accepted and liked by everyone. However, if you are living your life in a manner that is acceptable by most and others like you as you are then forget about the others. I'll bet there are those that you know you don't like, why? God made us all different and there are those around you that want a chance to be your friend

Just start telling yourself you don't care what people think and the only person that matters is yourself

Once you get over the idea that you need to improve or change to please others then you will start cairing a whole lot less. Believe me, I had to change my way of thinking before I killed myself trying to please and impress others. The only person you have to have approval from if YOU! Preiod.
You will be a lot happier when you don't need outside validtion.
