stop caring what others think of me

I found out that certain people have been bitching about me behind my back. It’s something that I always thought happened, (I mean they do it about everyone else) but to actually know hurts like hell. Constantly trying to put on a brave face and pretend that it’s not bothering me. Easier said then done!! :(

Steming from years of being hated at school just for being me I let the same pattern follow me into adult life. Why? Why do I care what people think of me? Why do I care what they think about the clothes I am wearing or what style my hair is. I am constantly looking for approval from others and its stupid!! It is!! Must learn to let the past go and start believing in myself more!!
