Stop caring what other people think of me

life’s too short anyway.making it shorter by worrying about THEM and their reactions is stupid…

I’ve realised that I care too much what other people think of me.The bare thought that sb. thinks sth. bad of me makes me feel sad.It happened few times that I heard some people talking some unpleasant things about me behind my back.They didn’t know that I was listening.I felt very frustrated.I often remember about this.However,I’ve dicided that the solution to this problem is:
I’ll force myself not to care what other people think of me,because when I do this I just martyrize myself.They have their own opinion and I don’t mind.I respect them because they are human beings but I don’t need their approval.I’ll remove all negative feelings of my mind and will go on to live my life:)
