not worry about what other people think

of course, you have to be mindful of what other people think/say/feel about you. however, that is where it stops. sometimes, I drive myself crazy trying to decide how other people feel about me or think of me…if I don’t already know. and if I know that they don’t like me, I drive myself even more crazy trying to decide how to make them like me. I don’t need to stress myself out and have anxiety for no good reason. I can live my life the best I can and others will see that. and if now, oh w-e-l-l!! at least I’m happy!

I am very good at this now ,to a certain point.i’m enjoying being me for the first time really,and I think that helps.

Sometimes I think that you do have to care about other people’s opinions at least a little bit, but where’s the limit?

Well, I don’t think about other people all the time, but sometimes other people’s comments just hurt more than they should and it’s always at very unfortunate moments.

I have to laugh at this because I can’t believe how much I actually allowed my self to worry about what other people said. Well since the move here it has been completely different, and I really don’t care about people and what they think. I guess I have learned that usually when people have something negative to say it is a reflection of their own lives and what they are unhappy about regarding themselves. So I guess you can say that I have done this, because truly, truly I don’t care anymore. I care about what I think of myself and right now I am happy with me.

This is improved with age I reckon.When I’m 80 maybe I just won’t give a toss

This really tie’s into the ex. Why should I really care what he think’s of me? Why should I care about what his wife thinks of me? I know that no matter what I do I will always be the ex and that is usually not seen in a good light. This is a huge issue in my life and I hate it. I really do. But I don’t even know how to explain it.
