How to not care what other people think
It made me
very very happy
 "it was worth doing it.. i am much more happier now =)"
How I did it: I have always been a person who would take anyone's comment at heart and think abt it for days and days wasting my time and energy. there came a time when i thought i have to live my life in my terms after all it my life and i dont have to please anyone except for myself. i used to listen to others point of view but at the end of the day it would be me and my decisions. I wouldnt do anything to make someone else feel uncomfortable but if some one tries to force their thoughts into me then i make a point to give them some piece of my mind. i feel, this is my life and even if i do something wrong i wouldnt regret cos it was entirely my decision. we get to live this life once and if we keep listening to other people and take everyone's comments at heart then we will never get to live our life... i have understood this and i am happier =) Lessons & tips: first of all learn to trust ur decisions and also at the same time respect others point of view but at the end of the day do what makes u feel good. Resources: i dont know exactly.. what helped me was self realisation and a strong determination to change myself.

How I did it: My road to being able to not care about what other poeple thought was to get in touch with myself. What did I think? What were some of my incompromisable values and beliefs? When I stuck to those I grew in my own self-confidance, which allowed me to not care abotu what other people though.Also, for some things I have always just not cared. I am the kind of person who will walk downtown without any shoes or wear something hideous just beca… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I realised that the people who crossed the road to avoid me or judged me by the way i dressed weren't the kind of people i wanted to get to know anyway. The people that came up to me and said they liked the whole "f*ck you" attitude i had *were* however the kind of people i wanted to talk to.Now i love the snide comments cos they can laugh all they like but id rather be a 'dirty goth' than a soulless product of the media with no individua… Read how I did it…

How I did it: not thinking about other peoples negative thoughts...I stopped overanalysing what and how people were thinking. I also think it's part of getting older, taking on more responsibilities that make you kind of immune to the little things that bug you out. Read how I did it…

not care what others think:
-when i am talking with groups of people. I’m always feeling self concious because of i feel the pressure of the need to entertain ppl
-telling my points of view or proposing new ideas to others.
-showing that i’m excited happy or angry when somebody done somethings nice/mean towards me.
this are the most important thingright now that i feel i need to handle.

I know that people aren’t judging you when you act your complete self, but I feel like the way you act casts you in a type they may not like. I hate not being liked by someone so I tend to be reserved at first when meeting new people. I take every small comment about me to heart, and sometimes it can hurt. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have lots of friends I act myself around. It’s just that I want to be myself around every body. I care what people think about what I wear, what I do, etc. This has held me back a little. I’ve improved lots this past year in achieving this goal. I just want to keep working on it. I know I can do it. It’ll just take some time…
Not care what others think - day 1

OK – first step towards changing my outlook on life has started, hardest part so far is realising there is a need to change and making a concious effort to do something about it. I’ll keep you posted

I try to tell myself that people who judge others (especially people they don’t know) are dumb, so why would I care what dumb, judgmental people think of me? In a way that makes me judgmental too against judgmental people :)
I struggle with this everyday

Just the thought that people MIGHT be thinking negatively, even just a passerby, gets to me.
Because I want to be liked, I rarely truly speak my mind, and alter myself when possible to accommodate their comfort level.
If i could be free of this care, I could be free of so much anxiety and depression.
I hate being this person who cares so much, living in a bubble to contain my sadness over others thoughts.
How to get there
7 months ago
Letting go of what other people think seems to be much more difficult for me than it sounds. To disappoint someone that matters or risk making them angry is something that I need to be okay with when it’s for my own good… but quite honestly, I’m completely stumped on how to get there.

just want to walk straight and not care about the wear and the stares, to be obliviously aware, not mind the looks and stop being so self concious.
