How to stop caring what people think?

[Anonymous]

Truly caring because I'm constantly worried about what people think about me. How do I stop?

Here is the thing. In the great scale of things, general speaking about all humans. No one really cares, no one is really paying that much attention to others. And if there is any thoughts at all, it's a instant thought that is gone just as fast as it came. Nothing really sticks. People we don't know is just that, strangers. They will go home to their lifes and we might never see them again. Also no one is the same. Not one person likes all the exact same things as the next. And by that it means some will love one thing and others won't, and same goes the other way around to. To please every single person is simply impossible, it can't be done. But to please yourself, now that is absolutely possible, and that is the only person that matters. What you enjoy doing is up to you and no one else. And because we are so many minds in the world there will always be some that loves the things you do and some that don't. But they don't care, you should not care. No one really cares. Just be you, love yourself, love the people that loves you.

i think it's a bad idea to stop caring what "people think" in general. i think it's wise to choose the people who's opinions matter to you very wisely.

People I just met
Running into an old friend that we don't speak to anymore and worrying if they're talking about me

First teach yourself not to react to what people say
