Why do we care so much about what other people think about us?

Why do we care so much about what other people think about us?

Do you allow people to deter you from being who you really want to be?

We need to start trusting ourselves a little more. We need to start respecting ourselves a little more. And we need to faithfully put our own best selves out there and stop allowing what other people think – affect us and prohibit us for moving in the direction of our goals.

Because (A), even though we’re sure in our own heads that everyone is watching and judging us, most people really aren’t paying any attention at all. (B), no matter what we do, we’re never going to please everyone. Guaranteed. And (C), the more we live our lives for the sake of other people, the less we live a life that’s authentic to ourselves.

Do not expect people to “think, react, communicate or behave like you. The only person who sees the world (exactly) like you, is you.” – The only person that has the real desire and impetus to achieve your goals is you. If you don’t want to be constantly disappointed & frustrated, create a better relationship with yourself .this is turn will give you the confidence to move forward without needing validation or approval from others – especially from people who are not personally invested in you.

Best
