Stop caring about what others think of you from "summary" of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
Caring about what others think of you is a natural tendency that we all have. We want to be accepted and liked by those around us. However, when this desire becomes excessive, it can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety in our lives. The truth is, you can never please everyone. No matter what you do, there will always be people who will criticize and judge you. Trying to control how others perceive you is a futile effort that will only leave you feeling frustrated and insecure. When you stop caring about what others think of you, you free yourself from the burden of constantly seeking approval from others. You no longer feel the need to conform to societal norms or live up to other people's expectations. Instead, you can focus on being true to yourself and living your life according to your own values and beliefs. This doesn't mean that you should completely disregard the opinions of others. It's important to listen to feedback and constructive criticism, as they can help you grow and improve as a person. However, you should not let the judgments of others dictate how you feel about yourself or the choices you make in life.- Learning to let go of the need for external validation allows you to cultivate a sense of self-worth that is not dependent on others. You become more resilient and confident in who you are, regardless of what others may think. In the end, what truly matters is how you see yourself, not how others see you.
