I cared a little when I was a teenager, then I noticed it's just a waste of time to care what others think about you.

Be who or whatever you want to be and don't give a flying buck about others if they try to pull you down.

At one point of time I used to be adamant about what others thought about me but now as an adult I learned that people are gonna have their own thoughts about you and I shouldn't allow it to ruin my life because in the end it only matters what you feel about yourself.

Most of the time, i don't really csre what people think about me, like, people that judge me are usually the people that's not really close to me, or even don't know me at all, they're just assuming their judgement, except for my best friends and family, i do care about what they think about me, like those two peoples are the one that i wanna keep close till the day i die and I'll hear their complaints about me and I'll try my best to do better for them

Eh, kind of. I used to care what people thought about me much more in the past than I do now. I used to get so disappointed in myself if 1 person didn't like me, and many users here at Vizzed has seen that in me in the past. Luckily, I grew up. I learned that not everyone is going to like you. Sure, you can try and get them to like you if you want, go ahead. But if someone doesn't like me, that's their problem. I just tell myself that they don't know what they're missing out on.

I care what people think about me professionally. I want to be seen as an administrator who knows what he's doing, who runs a good business and takes care of his employees and members and has good success providing a high quality product for the people who pay money to do things there.

I try to look professional, I try to speak professional, I try to execute my job as well as I can and have a high level of satisfaction from the members. I care what they think because that means I am doing a good job.

When I was a little kid, I cared about what everyone thought of me to where I would get angry, depressed, and sad if people didn't like me. But nowadays, I try to use people's criticism to improve myself instead of getting angry about it and not doing anything about it.

Middle school was the transition that I now think of as a slap in the face. XD It was when I stopped being happy-go-lucky and I sought approval from my peers even though it didn't work. When I think back on it, I still can't believe I ever thought it was a good idea. I even gave up my Christianity for my 7th and part of 8th grade year.

However, a friend came along and made me think hard about where this was getting me. I believed in God again and then turned my life back around and sought to improve upon what I was like before conforming. Now, I don't care what people think of me most of the time. It's still difficult to stand up for somebody, but I'm completely confident being myself. I can't change whether people like me or not since first impressions last.

Jeez, I used to care horribly of what others thought of me. So much that it had brought me to a critical state of depression! The key to stop caring for me was to start small and build up to it. It can be dangerous though, there are some things in life that are crucial to care about, like grades!! XD Now my struggle is to start back caring about important things in my life, but it was worth it because now I feel totally original! I used to always follow the crowd to play it safe, but now I despise following others; so much to the point that it has become kind of an addiction! XD 

No, not really. I am who I am, I care about what I am, not what people think of me.

I will focus on bettering myself, and no one should have to think ill of me if I'm good enough.

As long as you believe you've been yourself, nothing else matters. Don't let somebody else try to make you be something you're not. There's only one person ( other than myself ) that I actually care what she thinks of me...and that's my wife.

Nothing ... else ... matters!

I really could not give a care in the world what someone thinks of me, But my anxiety says otherwise. I am TERRIFIED of not being accepted, and I find that I often times will choose to avoid social interaction instead of making a fool of myself because my anxiety keeps telling me that I can not for the life of me interact with other people normally and that the other person will think I am a terrible person over one small mistake

Realistically, I know that this is not the case, so I try to force myself to socialise as much as I can, but my anxiety is still there and it still holds me back. I know there's not likely a time it will ever not hold me back. Even if I had access to the medication I need to treat my anxiety I still would have a heck tonne of problems with it. That's just the nature of mental illness for you.

I cared way too much about what people thought of me when I was younger. It made me hate being at school, and I used the internet to escape from it. I also left the public school system just to get away from what people thought of me. I then went into a private school, hopefully so I could interact with some nice kids because it was a Christian school, but they treated me like I was, well, cancer, due to my interests in video games and anime, things they thought were taboo. I'm happy I let that stuff go for my high school years, as I've been able to enjoy them a lot more than I could have if I didn't let go of those past experiences.

Evidently, I'm quite self-conscious of what others think of me. When someone thinks lowly of me, that's disheartening, of course, you can't rekindle relationships with everybody in this day and age, but when it comes to my standpoint, I feel guilty of every action I take through the course of my life.

This has actually motivated me to lose weight, talk in more polite fashions just so I can fit into society itself: it is ridiculous, no one should need to go through it, but people are. I guess that's how our community functions on looking and using others to improve our own self-worth.

In high school, I was definitely far too self conscious of what others thought of me. Around 11th grade onward though, that changed, I realized that I don't need to place that much power in the opinions and thoughts of others, to please everyone is an impossible task and an enormous waste of time, so I stopped caring about it so much. I know that people are social creatures by nature and seek approval from others, but I don't let that fact change the way I live or who I am as a person. The way I see it, I shouldn't have to change myself just to placate one person.


Of course, there are things I care about that also happen to align with the thoughts and opinions of others. For instance, I've started to work out and change my demeanor around people. Part of these new changes came as a result of modifying the aspects of me that others see and judge. The other part was simply me changing and growing as a person. Altogether, I've stopped obsessing over the opinions of others and I've shifted more towards improving and accepting myself as a person because at the end of the day, that's the person whose approval matters most.

Yes and no.

Let me explain a bit. I care to an extent what people think about me. People who like me a lot tend to focus on me, and I don't really like that, so I often end up hiding and going quiet. But I don't care, because you have to say "to hell with the haters" from time to time.

So I guess it's easiest to just say, yes, I care when people think too highly of me, but no, I don't care when people think too lowly of me.

Mmmm yes and no.
See, I couldn't care less about what others think of my appearance. I try not to judge others by what they look like, so looks just don't matter as much to me as they seem to matter to other people.

How people see me due to my actions and hobbies?? That's a different matter altogether. It's the main reason I'm always so quiet IRL. Jabs about being a spazz or a manchild hurt a lot more than being made of for wearing a geeky shirt. And since my self esteem always seems to be constantly nonexistent, well I just try not to give someone a reason to jab at me
