Answer 1

Not too much, not too little:

Care too much about what other people think and you'll end up being their servant, care too little and you'll end up being their prey.

I would say for me it's inbetween, also depending on the reason. For example, it's better to care about what others think if you're doing something that will result in you loosing your job as opposed to something that you know will make you more money ;)

Answer 2

This is an ongoing problem with me. I am constantly trying to prove myself. It's to the point where I rarely leave the house so I don't have to deal with all the stress. I don't know why I feel this way, but I can't handle being talked down to or told I'm no good or not good enough. Probably comes from my father telling me how worthless I was the entire time I was growing up. I am over emotional as well so when I'm out in public and made to feel horrible I tend to cry uncontrollably. That makes it even worse because them I'm embarrassed besides. It's just safer to stay home. I know, I've been told, 'just stop caring how others feel or what they think', but how does a very feeling person just stop caring? The entire idea is completely alien to me.

Answer 3

I suppose with designated matters, a "Who cares?" angle is legitimate...however however folks have extraordinary priorities, and reacting "Who cares?" approximately whatever that suggests the sector to any one else would be a motive for argument, that is rarely essentially the most releasing revel in. That mentioned, I have determined that angle may also be very valuable. I just lately received dumped via my female friend who I then needed to are living with for 3 weeks, and for the duration of that point, even as she was once adamant that she desired us to be near peers and so forth and so forth, most commonly she acted as though I wasn't there. At first I was once left pondering "What's improper with me?", "I need to be terrible..." however then I all of the sudden puzzled why I cared what she suggestion of me, and determined that an particularly releasing revel in. Properly implemented, I suppose that an angle of no longer fitting over-invested in trivial concerns may also be very priceless, and really releasing.

Answer 4

When I was younger in elementary and hs I cared what people thought of me because like most people I wanted to be liked. However as I came into my own as I aged , my friends and family's opinions were important but I didn't always agree with my family.

I'm at the age now , in my fifties where I don't really care what anyone thinks of me. Some people are gonna hate me or dislike me , that's their problem. Some people are gonna love or like me , that's fine but my life doen't hang in the balance either way. I have to live with me and in the end that's who my maker and I will talk about , not someone else's opinion of me.

Answer 5

I think everyone does at some level - no one is THAT socially independent because being accepted makes us feel loved and secure - it's something we need as human beings
BUT
alot of the time people will judge you on things that weren't really your fault - someone might see you angry once and assume you're a mean person - you have to learn to brush that off because it's not really your fault - or if intolerant people can't accept your opinions or sexuality or lifestyle etc. you can't care about what they say because it'll never make them care about you!

Answer 6

This is a very interesting question- there are many things as responsible adults we should care about - have pride in and do our best at- But to honestly say Do I care what others think... well sometines.. but What I think about myself is the most important- I truly know if I am being lazy- and when I am doing my best- But i treat everyone the same and hope they like me- I do!

Answer 7

Yes I care about what people think of me, to the extent that the morals and choices I make reflect on the people in my life. I do not care about people who I don't know who are uneducated or ignorant and are simply being infammitory and trying to get a rise.

Answer 8

OK I was picked on so much in school, and I learned at a very young age not to EVER care what people think about me.I am a happy person and like myself so that is whats the most important.

Answer 9

There's no absolute yes or no to this question. "Most" of the time, what others think of me is so irrelevant it's like water off a duck's back. I do care about what my friends think of me, & candidly say that I feel "enriched" when they see me as I am, & love me for who I am. I honestly don't see what this has to do with "employment." It's not what your "boss thinks" about you, it's the quality, & integrity of your work that is judged. This makes me think of something rather humourous, but there's a point to it. (Believe it or not!) Some years ago I cut my hair rather short, & someone said: "I'm glad you cut your hair, it was way too long." Later, someone else said: "Oh! That looks awful! You looked much better with it long!" I put on a long (fake) face, & said: "Gosh! & I did it just for YOU!"
I believe I'm well centered enough, know myself as well as anyone is able, & basically, what other people think has no impact on my life. I have much empathy for those who are so sensitive, mean remarks hurt them.

Answer 10

I live by the motto: what you think of me is none of my business, what I think of you is none of yours.

I used to care greatly what others thought of me - to the point of being obsessive. A wise person told me that saying, and it changed my life.
I realize now that I am only one little tiny person among billions of people occupying the Earth. Just as you are one tiny person among billions.
What you, or anyone else, think of me is insignificant.
What I think of you, or anyone else, is insignificant.

The only opinions I truly care about are my kids and my husband - they matter to me. I don't even really care what my own parents think of me. They did their job raising me, if they don't like what they see - they can blame themselves for that one!
