We are taught from a young age to care about what other pepole think about us. It usually becomes a very high priority for most of us. Unfortunately, a lot of unhappiness stems from this need to be accepted foe as soon as one is accepted for on thing one desires to be accepted for another greater thing. It has been said that one stops being happy as soon as one decides to become happier. I accepted that I have everything I need to be happy. It was truly cathartic. Once that was done I just did not seem to care about what other people thought.
