How much do you care about...

[jd_uk]

...what people think of you?

Do you get embarassed easily?

Personally I've always been someone that cares greatly about what people think of me (think i get this from my parents) but I'm changing slightly (due to a conscious effort) and sometimes I don't care at all.

so...what about you?

 

[Scotsman]

I hardly ever care what others think of me. I also don't really get embarassed even when my parents try telling stories of my youth to people.

Cheers,
Scotsman

I think everyone cares, some people just hide it better

Yeah true. But I think some people care more so than others.

With me, I have to change because I feel it's holds me back with a lot of things. I sometimes don't do things which i might enjoy if i tried because of what other people would think, so i feel like i need to make the effort to change. It's difficult when you've been a certain way all your life though.

my friends, i care what they think

strangers, who gives a flip

 

[Smurfy]

i do what i want

As the years go by, I leave the "care" at home. I used to carry it everywhere with me.

believe me, my mother is going to have a heart attack when she finds out I want to have my own company instead of a corporate career and it has been holding me back for awhile now. she looms in my head even though I don't live with her

I think the need for approval (or for some, just attention) drives a lot of our actions, I know for me it does. I have been getting a lot better on worrying about doing things because of what other people think. There was a time when I wouldn't do deadlifts because I wasn't sure if I did them right, or I was worried that it would look dumb with not enough weight, etc.. Stuff like that. I've gotten a lot better though, you'd be surprised how much you can get away with simply because no one has the guts to confront you about it.

well, best of luck to you with that, orbly

 

[SoreArms]

I pretend I don't care on the exterior, but my interior is really self concious and vain. I do everything as if some one was watching me and always ask myself "what would other people think/say about me right now, if they saw me doing this?".

I'm doing it I promise, I have a lawyer setting up my LLC next week sucks being raised by mom lol

 

[Lumberg]

I used to think I didn't care but admitting to myself that I do care is kind of a freedom. It's weird though.

I want in man! We can sell dancing karma men chew toys for dogs.. Test it out on snapster, I'm sure we'll make a killing.

Just be yourself, if people don't like you when you are being your self, then Fuck 'em. Put then in a choke hold and wait till their face turns purple.

When you succeed you will want to re-attach it; you will treasure your family even more because your friends by and large turn into assgobblers.

 

[slickdadd]

Not too much at all. I never really have. I care what those close to me think about to an extent (maybe 2 or 3 at most), but otherwise, I don't see the need to spend my few years on earth pleasing or requiring the approval of others.

Don't try this at home though, I am really pretty.
