stop caring about what others think

One of my largest personality flaws is that I take every last word that someone says to me or about me straight to heart. This can really hurt me at times, and I would like to grow out of it, so here is what I am going to do:

When someone criticizes me:

1. Decide if I agree with them
a. If i do, then work on the criticism to better myself
b. If I don’t, then I need to let it go! What I think about myself is what is most important!

i wanna stop caring what others think so i can do things i normally wouldnt do..though im not gonna lie i really dont care about doing stuff that makes me look stupid, i do it all the time, but there still some things i find that i still cant do and its kinda stupid considering that there not as bad as what i do do. but whatevs il work on it

recently, one of my best friends told me that he was in love with me. I haven’t had feelings like this for him before, but now I’m starting to realize that i might, and he says he has felt this way for a while..I feel really bad that I said I just wanted to stay friends, because of what people would say…

People will always talk about you no matter what you so you need to let them know how worthless they are. just tell them one thing: FUCK YOU!

Have you ever gone out to a club or party and been afraid or intimidated to go out and dance on the dancefloor? What would your willingness and eagerness depend on? The number of people crowding the floor or empty spaces here and there? That really cute guy standing a few feet away talking with his friends… Those girls dancing it up in the middle who are so obviously drunk and for that matter don’t even know what they are doing… Whether or not you think your moves are hot and more importantly whether you are hot… If you’re even drunk enough to not care… All of these things go through my mind when I first get to a club and step out on the floor, or enter the main room at a party where the DJ’s playing the music loud. For once I just want to be able to go out with my girls and forget about anyone else’s opinion on me if they even happen to look in my direction. And let’s face it, do they even care? Alot of them don’t, most don’t even know me so why would they care if I was dancing like a trainwreck or a sex symbol? Not everyone is as critical as I am and that’s one of the main reasons why I seem to care so much about what others think. But for now I still feel extremely uncomfortable if there aren’t alot of people dancing, I want to work up the courage to take the plunge anyway and start dancing away.

I think I’m doing better with this goal. I think I just had to accept the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. After awhile, others around me began respecting the fact that I had my own.

Being a freshman in high school it is hard to not think about what people like of you what you wear and so on but i really want to do what i want and say anything i want without caring what is going to happen!
