7 Ways to Stop Caring About What Others Think

Comparing yourself to others and focusing on what other people think about you is bad for your mental health. The happiest people don’t even think about others, they focus on themselves and being better than they were previously.

Show yourself gratitude, focus on yourself, and know that you can't make everyone happy. Stop caring about what people think of you and be confident in yourself.

Do you put yourself first or put other people before you?

I learned from school, no matter how hard you try to please people, there will always be that one person who hates you. So just be yourself & live your own life

Don't focus on what others say or think, people will always think something, people easily see our mistakes but not the achievements, focus on success, growth and self development. And be the best version of yourself, do what you want, live freely cuz its your life. Have a good day :)

My dad told me something as a youngster that I’ll never forget. “Don’t worry about what others think about you… It’s none of your business”

So many forget about the most crucial thing in life, including me. This is YOUR life. So NEVER let anybody tell you who you're supposed to be or talk down to you. Easier said than done but, the beautiful thing in life is yourself and how no one in this world will see another person like you again. Stay beautiful and be the best version of yourself. Because there's only one you.

People’s judgment and perception of you is really about them.
People don’t think about you as much as you think, they are concerned more with themselves.

I actually needed this video. Thanks.

I also want to tell anyone having troubles: You are not alone, a lot of people have been where you are, and have got better. You can be one of them. Just remember that every step, no matter how tiny, still moves you on to the path ahead.

I struggle a lot with the idea of being misunderstood. I don't want anyone to think I'm bad, stupid, or worthless because those are things I've internalized about myself. However, as a I get older, I realize I'm simply projecting my insecurities out into the world. Most people don't even notice me or think about me. And that makes me feel peaceful. :)

I always had issues with my self-image. I cared too much about what others might think. I hated the way I was and was mean to myself. The more I progress through my journey, I am starting to see myself in a better light. It wouldn't have been easy without you guys.

Thank you.

"You can't please everybody, might as well please yourself". I heard that in a song and it is so true. I'm working on that right now. My sibling is rolling in the cash and has everything he needs. Mom said I turned out well. And I am right next door to broke! Needless to way, it meant a lot to me. She died in 2017 and I am still trying to work that song into my way of life. Mom was proud of me.

This video relates to me so much. In school i get nervous that whatever i do, people will criticize me. However i've learned to not care what others think. I hope whoever is reading this, that you have a good day or night.

I was just needing something like this. Right now my past friends haven’t really been acting like friends lately and I don’t even know who I am anymore. I need to do things I enjoy, and show gratitude to myself. Thank you💕

I wanted to to stop this so badly but I didn't know where to start. Thankfully I saw this video and it's gonna help me a lot in the process.

I realized that when people tell you what to do, they’re talking about what they want for themselves. Not everyone is giving you advice for your own self being, some people are just projecting what they like onto you. I always feel wrong, but then I saw that I’m not the problem, they’re simply projecting what they want for themselves! Be self confident and keep doing what you’re doing

The key is being yourself, being true to yourself and liking yourself.

i remember i was going through something difficult when i was younger and during that time I cared and really wanted to know how other people thought of me. Was really hard to stop feeling sad all of the time. And then I stopped caring and i'm currently much happier. Yes everyone, when you stop caring about other people's thoughts, the grass is greener on the other side.
