I have to admit that I have been there to that situation because at times it can affect your self esteem, momentum, actions and other more. I don't want pleasing other people unless it is a product that I will earn on it. At times it is becoming a conflict that you can no longer have the freedom on the things that you should do. At times it suffers the practical sense and the more important things to do. Here in our country part of the toxic culture is about worrying of what others think of you and I've been reading a lot of problems that really suffers the real life situation. For example a teenager or a college woman became pregnant without being married. Some parents will force their children or daughter to get married or having wedding to save from just the embarrassment because they keep on thinking of what other will think about them. As if the gossipers are the one who are responsible enough for their daily needs or even feed them every day. Chances are because most of them are not yet matured or they can't even handle the responsibility of marriage and family lives it will end up to separation, broken marriages and family. I am only telling the example that at times worrying about what others think about you is just a big waste of time and mentality.

There is constructive criticism that will help us but then there are other criticisms that doesn't really make sense at all.

Worrying is normal but you can't let others bring you down unless you let them to.
