Do you ever worry about what other people think of you?

TOO much! Dad’s mom was too much into what other people thought and so was Dad. And, dog gone it, it rubbed off!

Not any more.

The real depth of this question is far more complex, than a yes or no…

However. My short answer is FUXGVN=00….......

@MrGrimm888 I don’t know what that means, but it looks like: fucks given are zero! I’m so disappointed hehehe

To answer the question…OMG YES! and wish to hell I didn’t. Life would be so much easier if I didn’t give a flying fluther!

But the truth is that most people are too self-involved to worry about what others think about them, moi aussie!

From time to time very much so.

Not much !

Not really. Not very well liked, know that already. Life goes on.

No. I’m pretty sure they’re too busy worrying about what I think of them…

I’m pretty sure that unflattering things are being said about me. That’s their problem not mine. Perhaps that’s their weakness if they feel the need to tear me down to build themselves up.

In 1990 at the Army’s 2 month long advanced NCO professional development course great efforts were made to “weed out the weak”. At one point a couple weeks into the course each sergeant was forced to write negative aspects of each other sergeant. Then then instructors got each sergeant into a private room and read all the responses. “OK sergeant. This is what your fellow sergeants think about you.”
All just another way to tear you down.

“When people say negative things about you behind your back. There’s a reason they’re behind you.” -Unknown

Nope. In younger years it mattered to me. Now only the people that are closest matter. They also see and know the real me.

Only when my paycheck is at stake.

If I did, I sure wouldn’t have hung around here as long as I have.

Of course I do.
I want the people that I admire and like, to like me.
I want my child to think well of me.
I want the people I do business with to respect me.

Lots of people, not so much, but really, how many of us don’t care what anybody thinks?

Context is everything.

I agree, @canidmajor.

I went to a restaurant on Easter Sunday and I very much tried to dress appropriately for the venue. If I didn’t care what anybody thought of me, I would have worn my pajamas.

@jca2 and @canidmajor GA!

Not really. If they like me they like me if they don’t they don’t. I have other things to worry about.

No. I’ve always traveled in my own lane.

I believe that, @SnipSnip. meant in a complimentary way 8)

I stopped worrying about that about the time I decided to stop being shy. I realized everybody has issues and everybody makes a fool of themselves. And as has been seen on pages like these, my opinions are usually up for attack. But here’s the thing that I don’t worry about: what others think. I am open to other ideas, but not to shaming or name calling. People that do that are trying to control you with your own kindness or emotions as their only weapon against you. That tells me far more about them than their attacks tell me about me.

^That’s a big GA Wulf.

Personally. I enjoy laughing at myself. Everyone definitely makes a fool of themselves. At one point or the other. In case, most of the time. But I enjoy it. It’s entertaining to me, and ensures less intelligent people underestimate me. A tactical advantage.
I’d also like to wish you a belated happy Submarine day. I meant to mention it yesterday.

Thanks @MrGrimm888. I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know there WAS a Submarine day. That was something I was very happy I did (being on a submarine) and very happy I didn’t stay in. 6 years was enough of my life.

^I didn’t know it either. I just saw people talking about it on the April 11th episode of Total Access, or GMF, and I thought. Hmm. @seawulf575 Day…
