Do you care what people think of you?

[Chris]

No.

I've reached a point where I am fully embracing the concept of my health and life being finite, and I'm not prepared to let other people's negativity control what I do with what time I have. I don't want to have regrets five, ten, or fifty years from now from not doing something out of fear of what other people might think of me. I've spent enough time stifling myself for others benefit and I'm over it.

Iv never thought of "oh i must look nice for other people" its always just been i want to look nice for myself ya know? idc what ppl think its myself who cares ^^

 

[Soigne]

A little, unfortunately. I've come a long way since my days in high school where I would consistently take the back entrances, staircases, etc. just to avoid confrontation with people in fear of judgement. Some of that still lingers. I usually only worry about my appearance, though. Not much else.

depends on the person, if i really dislike someone, then no. however, if i really like the person then yes. i'll most likely do whatever i can to impress them and make them like me

I voted no because right now as I am writing this it's a no. But some days its a yes too. I think it depends on my confidence level, some days I want to just go out half naked because I feel like I can rule the world and don't care what anybody might think or say, other days I feel if someone even glances me in a slightly weird manner I'll crumble to pieces thinking they hate me and I'm ugly and a loser and everything bad ever... It's very one or the other and it's the weirdest thing ever.

to an extent. mostly only when it comes to people i look up to or who's opinions i trust, but i don't let ding dongs make me feel bad just for being myself.

Dude, that's me in a nutshell! Honestly, I feel like my moods go way up or way down with no way to tell. One minute I'm happy, feel pretty, like everyone loves me and then within the same day, it flops. I wish confidence was constant.

I feel like we all care to some level, and that's not bad. It varies for me. I don't care if I go to walmart in pajamas, but if I'm going to a job interview you bet your beans I'm wearing my most professional outfit I can find. I try not to care about what others think in a general sense. As long as you aren't malicious or cruel to me, I won't be the same towards you. But I do think that there are some instances where it's good to be aware of how what you do and who you are affects the world around you. I like to think that life is all about balance in these sort of debates; you have to balance not caring with caring at the same time

Life is all about balance. In everything. That’s part of the reason why I practice Aikido (a Japanese martial art), instead of Karate. If people truly didn’t care what anyone thinks about them they would never get anywhere in life. It would be like walking into a job interview with pajamas on and a sleepy look on your face. I even admit myself that I care about what SOME people think, but only a select few.
