Question

Kaneki05 · Accepted Answer

That can never be 100% as well all care whether we know it or not.
To not we would have be devoid of any social bounds.
But I will for say I don't care more than what other's do and I mean by a lot.

Very few people are like me, tbh I didn't even think I would see someone who cares so little like me but there's a famous twitch streamer who is exactly like me.
Easily a millionaire yet ain't bothered about living in a house with roaches and wearing the same shirt for days. And he truly just say's what he thinks.
Tbf he even cares less than me because if I was rich then I would for sure get somewhere better to live but it's his childhood home so lots of feelings to stay there which I get.

Yes, me and Popeye I yam when I yam

SugarSugarplum · Answer

I have a friend who thinks that any personal growth (like holding down a job, or being in a stable relationship), is a denial of his true self (the person he decided he was in high school).
This is absurd.
If you're not growing, learning, and changing all the time, then you're not really alive, you're just taking up space.

dustybiker2 · Answer

Not exactly. I think of it as I am living in this world, a part of it, but it doesn't revolve around me. I'm free to be me as long as I'm not pushing into others space bubbles where they are being themselves. So it's I care but I don't.

I just had a car ride from hell, so not wording this correctly. Should try again after I change my shorts.

NathanDavis · Answer

I am what I am and it is what it is, yes... but I do care a whole lot about the people in my life... and those are the ones who truly think of me... so, yes, I care... lol

kylee2437 · Answer

I guess it really depends on what we are talking about, but for the most part, I disagree. I think it’s unfair to consistently think your behaviors aren’t a problem just because “it’s who I am” . If it’s a behavior that can be changed, you should definitely self evaluate

behnam1999 · Answer

That is part right, part wrong, so I don't agree with it 100%. If by this sentence, you mean not trying to become a better person by changing what you can change and achieving what you can achieve, then that's wrong. But if by that you mean trying to be honest with people and not turning into a bad person by acting and behaving merely because getting people's endorsement, then that's right.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

To a degree yes. Like I don't want people to think I am dirty so I always look "presentable" but besides that I do not care. Because what can anyone actually do? Say something mean? Meh.. I always got something meaner to say lol. I am only sensitive to men I like, anyone else it don't matter what they think at all lol.

AviatorTom · Answer

I agree with the first sentence. Each of us is a unique individual.

The second sentence should not be black and white. Some things, yes, one doesn't care what others think. But other things, one typically does care what others think. What goes in which category depends on the individual.

PointlessNonsenseGuy · Answer

This seems like something lots of people say, but hardly anyone means.

We all care what other people think of us. We're just built that way.

The very, very few people in the world who genuinely don't care what other people think of them, wouldn't bother to say they don't care what other people think of them.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I am definitely what I am, but I care what people think. I've had too many instances in life where dumb MFs say, believe dumb stuff, and generally spread rumors about me that aren't true.

It's not even the false impression of me that bothers me, it's the fact that these people will choose to believe the worst things about me and then try to destroy parts of my life over it.

Unit1 · Answer

99% true for me. I remember being hated and ostracized and stuff even when trying to people-please. Might as well be the most selfish asshole of a monster, that they've "shaped" me to be.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

there are people who are important to me and I value their opinion but the rest... I don't care

DannyUk2017 · Answer

I have a saying, which is similar to yours..."Take as i am, or Leave me as i am".. Simple! 🤷‍♂️

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

To a degree I agree.. To people who don't matter, yes definitely, but of those I care about yes it does matter!

Angxl3120 · Answer

WhitneySnow · Answer

For the most part, yes. At least I try to be that way.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

No, I care a lot about what some people think of me.

Juxtapose · Answer

People aren't an island and you can pretend to be one all you want but unless you are some stone cold sociopath you will need people eventually.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Pretty much. I mean, I try not to be a jerk. But I'm not worrying what everyone thinks of me either.

loveslongnails · Answer

I only care what people think about me, to a point, if I really care about them to begin with.

Knightwatch27 · Answer

People can very easily abuse that to excuse being horrible or obnoxious. No you shouldn't care what people think, that doesn't mean that any behaviour is acceptable.

Anonymous · Answer

People think they are a LOT of things they aren’t. Being delusional doesn't make it so. Dunning Kruger effect is one example

bannacookies · Answer

Agree. I try not to be a pain in the ass, lol. But I'm secure with myself so I don't change for others.

molonski2 · Answer

Frankly , its a stupid argument , there are numerous things that are within our own control , this comment is a cop out.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

That kind of sounds like an excuse to avoid character growth

Bety23 · Answer

Both I do at times care what people think of me it depends who it is

Anonymous · Answer

Watch a documentary about something from the early 20th century. Look at all the people running around. Other than maybe 10 famous people in the world, no one remembers any of these people, or knows what they did in their lives.

genericname85 · Answer

I think this is a dumb angsty teen statement. a wise person knows what peoples opinion they should actually give a shit about. because not everyone's opinion is of equal value to you.
