not care what others think

I have anxiety that comes for no apparent reason most of the time. It happens when the phone rings, when someone looks at me, when the mailman is late, when I am sad or depressed, when i don’t really want to do something for someone and I think they can tell, when one of my children says something potentially offending to someone else, when my dog barks, when the laundry isn’t done, when.. It doesn’t really matter. It would be easier to say things that do not cause it. I even wake up having anxiety/panic attacks.

Not caring what people think would help a lot.

I just wanna forget how people make fun of me. They aren’t worth their respect.

i worry about this every day.

Why do we care what others think? I find it very debilitating, worrying about this all the time.

And why is it people we don’t even like, why do we care what strangers think?

People say that as you get older you stop caring – I’ll look out for this happening!

it’s the most freeing decision i have ever made – other people’s opinions will come in handy but it will be my opinion that i consider the most and will lead me

I’m doing a lot better at this. I think this past year has been a big test for me as far as having confidence goes. I wasn’t too crazy about some of the people I worked with (“The Harpees” as I liked to call them}, and they weren’t too crazy about me. At first, this bothered me, but then after a while I just let it go.

I can’t say I’ve accomplished this goal quite yet. There is still the occasional criticism that throws me off, but I think in general I’ve pretty much accepted that people are going to say what they want to, good or bad.

noses. Everyone has one, and everyone tends to stick it in other people’s business. WELL I’M SICK OF IT! I want to stop caring about other think/say about me when I’m not around. I mean, who are THEY to judge ME if they never took the time to KNOW me? Yeah… well, I’m gonna do this!!!!!!

Only one word to describe the moment you stop caring about what others think.

this one is really important to me beacuse it’s something i struggle with everyday. i just want to be myself and not have to worry if others are judging me.

I think this year was a big test for me. I faced criticism and I had little support at work, but I made it through the year. I can’t say I’m totally done with this goal, but I think I’ve moved a lot closer. I still seek affirmation from people. And while affirmation is not such a bad thing, I think seeking it is a sign that you still depend on what other people think of you.
