Me XD

I really want to do this so that I can make the most of everything I do and make sure I’m doing them for me not because others do it or want me to or dont want me to but so that it makes me happy.
How to stop caring about what other people think
It made me
free. 
"It only matters what you think of you!"
How I did it: People are going to do (and think) what they will and that is just the way it is. Do things because you want to do them, not because someone will dislike you if you don't. Try to figure out why you care what people think. Really. Why does it matter? You can't make everyone happy so you should do things to make yourself happy. Do things because YOU want to do them. It just makes it even more gratifying because people will like you for who you truly are when you live this way.
I wish there was a special formula for this, but you just have to figure out your own value for yourself and work to not let others devalue you.
My philosophy is as long as I can lay my head down at night knowing I did what I thought was right, other peoples opinions just don't (and shouldn't) matter.
Lessons & tips: Constructive criticism is a good thing. If a trusted friend tells you something out of love, you should listen. There is a difference between that and baseless personal attacks. Most people who 'just don't like you' have issues with themselves that they are taking out on you for whatever reason.
People who are miserable often want to make YOU miserable. Don't let them succeed!

Ever since I was a kid I’ve cared about what other people thought about me. Everyone did. It’s paralysing and its taking me so long to shake the habit. I want to focus on what ‘I’ want and care about instead of worrying about other people for once. It’s just that I’m not entirely sure I do know what I want…its a work in progress
. Midget kind of sentimental...

i’m geting better, i no longer care about what most people think, i do what i want and if they don’t like it or think i’m weird, it doesn’t bother me…theres still some people i cant get out of my head when i do things, i always wonder what they will think of me, i’m getting there though!

I know ultimately I don’t care what people think, but in the heat of the moment, I let others take over my mind. This stops today!
This probably can't ever be done perfectly

Other people would probably disagree that I’ve done this. I really have tried to separate myself from others opinions. This includes gossip or trying to keep up with people.
Houses, cars, clothes, vacations, even private islands and Gulfstream jets are all just things. You can lose them, they can be destroyed. Many is the person who you thought had the world licked who ended up killing themselves. If you get to be OK with yourself, it won’t really matter what anyone else thinks. Anyone.

I think caring about others’ opinions is the biggest obstacle preventing me getting the life of my dreams and being comfortable in my own skin

I’ve got way too many goals I’ve trying to achieve and am too jaded from past heartbreak right now to give a damn about much, much less what others think of me.
Sure, it’ll cross my mind, I’m sure. Not nearly as often as it used to in my more insecure days.
The thing is whether or not you let it affect your decisions, actions, and reactions.

the reason i care about this so much is im hyper-sensative
...I really am, my councellor says that if i can reduce my guilt and anxiety then i will stop being so sensative, and then i dont supose i will care about whta people say…
so this one is in reach?
