Do You Care What Anyone Thinks About You?

[Miranda]

Before you start screaming from the roof top, that you don't give a fuck about what anyone thinks about you. I mean not care at all. Regardless if it is your family, friends or a stranger. Do you just do what thou wilt?

Yes.... I care a great deal what people think of me.

[creatureofthenyte]

I can't really control other peoples' thoughts about me.

I would prefer to give someone a reason to think good things about me.

Whether they do or not is up to them, not me.

[MissKitty]

I'll do what I damn well please, and if you don't like it, kiss my ass. I don't hurt anyone, and i feel I'm a good person. As long as I feel that way about myself, it doesn't matter what others think of me.

prettymuch my thoughts exactly. There are some people in the world where they're opinion of me matters to me, but you best belive they've earned the ability for me to care what they think of me..

Can't really say I do.

I mean, it's always good when someone thinks good of you, but you can't control what other people think -- there's really no point in even trying.

See...he gets it. lol.

Will not caring what others think of me make people like me more? If so, I don't care what people think of me

[Slept with ghost]

I do what I do because of who I am. I always treat people with respect an go by the do onto others as you would like done onto rule. I never set out to give people a negative reaction about me but if they have one that's beyond my control and I won't lose sleep over it.

The succinct honest answer would be: Not generally do I care what "most" people think about me. Most humans are social animals, and in this process, there are laws and ways you must conduct yourself in order to be "accepted" by others.

If you choose to become involved in this, challenges may arise with bringing others into your inner circle. Though there are so many complex levels to a human being we are unfortunately only judged on a few in the beginnings of knowing other individuals.

I will tell you exactly why I feel the way I do; most people will draw their conclusions/bias and or discriminations about you based on certain things. Either a) how you look b) your attire/dress or c)on your immediate behavior. If I let myself be concerned about what someone thought of me based just on that, it isn't nearly enough to judge me by. It takes time.

Lengthier response:

I can only give what I truly am and you cannot hide who you really are forever, not even on the Internet. Eventually your true self will spill over onto a forum. The Internet can be tricky because you are only getting text and generally no inflections. Under the proper conditions you can let everything come out and be completely comfortable with that.

The only people who I truly care what they may think of me on a deeper rooted level are the people whom I care about in this world. These are people who I choose to interact with on a much closer level. DGN definitely fits under that category because I am sharing my thought, ideas and part of myself. I may have not met people on this forum but that doesn't mean I will be rude to you or unkind, I come at you as you come at me.

I believe in a certain kindness and basic courtesy to strangers of course. If you smile at me, I will smile at you. If I smile at you and you don't smile at me, then something's wrong with you and there is nothing I can do about it. You have no common courtesy to mankind and are then tagged useless in my opinion because you are part of the problem not part of the solution.

I mind my own business when I go out in public and I keep my eyes on my own paper. It's extremely unfortunate that other people don't follow suit. If I am going to do something a bit "out there", I may discuss it fully with my parents. I am almost 41 years old and they know that in the end I will make the choice I want to make but I do take their feelings and thoughts into complete consideration out of respect.

Even if it is a tattoo or something involving nudity that I may be involved in, I will discuss it with them. They don't always understand. They may try to pull that: "I raised you better." card but when I look at my father's arms covered with about 9 tattoos in total, there isn't much he can say. My parents are relatively young, my mother is 59 and my father is 61 but they were raised in a very different time. I can only care so much before it may infringe upon my personal dogma. I just won't allow that to happen.

[asphyxian_doll]

I don't obsess over what people think of me....

But i do care.

Only to a certain extent.....

Like if they treat me accordingly to what they think of me,

and its WRONG...i will not hesitate to put them in their place.

And that is about it.

I like who i am,

And like a friend once told me

"you can be righteous, truthful, intelligent and trustworthy,

but there will always be someone who wont like you"

And most of those people, aren't worth my time.

[punk_princess]

Hell no I don't care cause it only matters what I think of my self.

[twiztid_mind08]

This is a topic that has been around for a while I mean yes I care about what people think about me if (keyword: if) they know me and they are talking shit. Now if they don't know me and I all of a sudden here them talking shit about me they are gonna get a piece of my mind but if I'm just hearing about it from someone else I'm not gonna give a shit I'm gonna wait for that shit talker to come to me with the issue or issues they have with me.

Well said, that about sums my thoughts up exactly.

Me too.

[Restless Oblivion]

I don't care about what others think of me - unless they have completely misunderstood me or their judgement of me is based on bull. However if that person is someone I don't give a crap about, I won't bother setting them straight because it's always fun to hear the gossip that people spread about you lmao

If I cared enough about what others thought of me in the past (and that includes those I care/cared for) then I definitely wouldn't have achieved and experienced half as much in my life as I have done. With me its what you see its what you get, if you dont like it go and annoy someone else haha.

I'm honest and open about my actions to those I care about, I'm not asking for their agreement, only their trust and love. I'm never out to hurt anyone, and I think I'm a good person, so what I do with my life should really not be of anyone's business. If they don't like me then hey each to their own

[Shade Everdark]

I tend to care what others think about me.

I care that 90% of the populace hates me, because I could think of few greater compliments than their hatred.

...and, y'know, because I think humanity is stupid and selfish.

[jynxxxedangel]

Whatever cruel things people do or say to me only hurt for a minute..then they turn into to ANGER at myself for BEING hurt.

All I can do is NEVER treat others the way I have been treated. I treat every boat that bashes into me as if it's empty, now, and paddle on my way down the stream.

Unless things require retribution. Then it's ON.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

There's a few people whose opinions about me matter to me.

To varying degrees, of course.

jdfu!

[TygerLili]

If I think highly of someone, then I care what they think of me to the extent that if they say or do something that's mean or unjust to me it will hurt me. This really only applies to my boyfriend, my parents and a couple other non-insane family members, and a handful of close friends. As for everyone else, I don't give a damn what they think. I've been saying this for a long time, but it took a while for me to learn to actually mean it.

[Daevion]

I don't make any decisions without getting DGN's approval....than I make the appropriate choices cause I know DGN would never steer me wrong. DGN is like my magick 8 ball!!!

so uhm what should I do next?

[LadyKay]

I don't want people to think I am stupid. Other then that I don't care a whole lot. I just don't want to be thought of as stupid. It may have something to do with my childhood but I won't go into that at this time.

[MyViolentMachine]

Depends on the person.

I would like my friends and family to think highly of me but I won't change my core in order to achieve this goal. But for the most part I feel people need to like me for the way I am and act. If they don't then it is not my concern.

[Scales]

I care about what people think, but I try to keep it in check and balance.

Well.. You promised to kick Reaper and I's ass that one night.. but since I'm way off down by the border you can just give him double the wrath so this way nobody's inconvenienced.
