I'm 24 and struggle with this question a lot. My family are very honest, they love me, but remind me frequently that I'm not perfect. Well who is?
I battle with myself between caring what others around think of me and over-analysing situations. At times it feels like I'm trying to convince myself I don't care but my inner voice tells me that really, I do.
Is this healthy? Or should we just continue down the road doing as we please, being ignorant of others? Where is the balance?

We should care what others think... they present you with the flaws you cannot see yourself. But do not listen to everyone... as your parents should have told you also. Mainly though, control your own mind and see things in 3rd Person, things become a lot more evident.

every one has flaws. thats life. just remember this: be true to yourself, listen to others who want to help you not those who want kicks out of your pain, and have fun in life. as for the over annalyzing, i do that to. what i do to find balance is i look in the mirror and tell myself "i was born this way, and if others dont like it then to bad". caring what others think is a part of life, just do it in a healthy way. good luck!

Nice people care what others think of them. If you didn't you'd be crude and have no friends. You may want to talk to someone that is not in your family to get some unbiased advise.

You have to decide what is acceptable to you. You are the only one that has to be with you 24/7. Other people get to decide about themselves.

Your flaws become problems when hurt other people.
If they don't hurt anyone, well... they can put up with it, as you say, no one is perfect.
