Caring about what others think

How many times have you changed your behavior just to win the approval of others?
How many times did you put others into consideration when taking decisions?
Do you try to avoid letting people change the idea they formed of you even if it was on the expense of your own values?
Do you care about what others think?

It’s not bad to care about others opinion but when it reaches the level of changing your decisions just to not let those people think badly of you then you have a real problem.

Why do I care about other people’s opinion?

It needs some braveness to face your true intentions that your subconscious mind may have some how manipulated. The subconscious mind can present this to you as “being good” or “being nice” but in reality it’s covering the real intention, which is trying to let people know that you are worthy.

Ask yourself these questions, what am I trying to prove to others? Am I trying to prove to them that I am worthy? Do I really think that I am worthy? And if it’s true then why do I care about their opinion?

Usually when someone strives to prove something to others it’s because he is not sure of it himself. If you do care much about other people’s opinion then it may be because you are not sure of what you are doing and you just need their approval to prove it true.

Some people spend their lives collecting money just to prove to others that they can achieve financial success and not because they need the money. Some people strive for fame just to proof to others that they are worth the attention.

How not to care about what people think

The key to not caring about other’s opinion is to believe in yourself and in what you are doing. If you believed in yourself then you won’t need anyone’s approval to feel good about yourself nor will you need anybody’s signature on a paper stating that you are worthy.

You will never be able to please everyone nor you will be able to get everyone’s approval but you can easily change your own idea about yourself.
