Why do people care what other people think of them????

Question

So many people care what other people think of them, why??

Answer 1

Everyone cares what other people think of them, it just varies to what degrees.

Answer 2

Because we are social beings, it is important to receive positive feedback from our peers. Also, caring about what people think of us tends to keep our behaviour and activities from going off the deep end, and probably fosters more good than not.

However, it is very true that for many of us, particularly the more socially insecure, caring what other people think constricts and cripples us far too much.

Answer 3

i think it's the way society exposes people through the media such as tv that people compare themselves to what they see in ads and so on. and since there are different stigmas or stereotypes associated with a certain look, then people care about how they look because they want to look a certain way in order to be treated and labled a certain way, either postively or negatively. in my view, it's because of how society labeles people according to how they look and the stigma that comes along with it.

When this becomes extreme, it is due to cowardice. People have many insecurities and are always waiting for approval from others.
