Do you care about what people think about you?

In this world, we meet different kinds of people. Some may like you, some may not. But actually, do you really care about what they think about you? For me, it doesn't matter what other people think or say. I don't live to please them. What matters is, i've made the most of what I have, I had fun, and I have learned from what I have done and lived through all it despite the gossips and intrigues. And that's what I call being REAL..I simply live my life fearless of other people's shadows. How about you?

One thing I've learned growing up and now a parent and a adult, I really don't care what the next person think of me....No one have to walk in my shoes but me... I'm a independent grown woman, who enjoys life, family, and friends... I have my responsibilities, and priorities together, I dress, talk, walk, and do whatever and never even think about what someone thinks...I accept opinions or thoughts from anyone respectfully... There are so many people in this world who try their hardest to impress others to be "cool" or whatever... When it's all gone who do you have...

I used to want everyone to like me, since I had no friends and was so lonely. Eventually I realized that regardless of what ever I did the world was full of -people who would never like me. Now I just try to tell what I really think and to be a good person.

Now i donĀ“t care very much of what other people think about me but there was a time when i was always trying to do the things right for no one talk about me.I think that what matters is that you feel good with yourself and with what you do.

I think I dont care about what people think of me. I try to be as nice to people as I can be but the rest is upto them. They like me or not that is entirely their choice. I've kown people whom i really liked and they behaved as if they liked me to but then I heard them saying things that really hurt my feelings. It was like a back stabbing situation. So now i dont really care what others think.

I also don't care what will others told me. What is important for me is I treat them nicely. It is up to them if what is their interpretation. They can tell whatever things they want against me but I don't care. What is important is I have a good conscience that I did not wrong them or whatever.

A few people in my life could make me sit up and take notice, that I trust. Other than those few trusted friends, I really do not care what people think of me. It is none of my business what you think of me. As long as I can keep that straight, I'm good. Only a trusted friend could tell me if I was doing something wrong or something right and it would mean something.

I used to care a lot more about what other people thought about me, but I've kind of gotten to the point where it really doesn't matter to me anymore. As I've gotten older, I've just decided that people will either like me or they won't, and it's their decision either way. If we live our lives trying to make everyone else like us, we'll never really be happy, cause it's impossible.

true. we cannot live in others' shadows for the rest of our lives. we have our own lives to take care of. and that we should be able to make ourselves happy, too. by basing our acts to what others may think of us will never be fair for ourselves. we deserve to be happy and we deserve to do what we know is best for us.

Nope, I really don't care what people think of me. As long as I am happy, that is all that matters to me. I am not here to impress everyone else.

I always try to be nice and polite to other people, but pleasing them just for them to like me, no.... that's not my style. If someone has a problem with me or the way I am, it's them who have a problem - I don't. :-))

Same here, cheerldr. I don't particularly care much about what people think about me. It's just a bit difficult to live when you still have to concern of what people think about you. It's just to simplify my own life.

No! My mother is always worried about what i'm wearing, or if my hair is too long... Because she thinks people will talk behind my back! Probably they do but i have more important things in life to think about than that!

Yes I care what people think about me. And I find sometimes this causes problems. You are constantly up tight, and it causes a lot of stress. I wish I could change. But at 58 years old I think it is a little to late.

I don' care about what poeple think about me. The world is very full of people pretending and I don't want to be like one. I want to live the way I am because I am just showing the real me. Peolple often say that I am mean, I don't care about it because I know my limitations of being mean. I am only mean to people who deserve it. And I don't need to please people, I have to live the way I like it as long as I don't create any harm for others. If people say, I am crazy, I will continue being crazy because that's me. I cannot please everybody no matter attitude I will show them. My conscience will not haunt me if I am living the way I am. There is no harm for being real.
