Why do people care SO MUCH about what OTHER PEOPLE think?

Then why do you post here?

Why would you even make this thread?

 

Because I am trying to see what other ppl think...

WHY DO PEOPLE ALL STICK TOGETHER AND DO THE SAME FUCKA THINGS??

I think thier reprogramming IS MORE THAN APPARANT!! (Programmed to be non-resistant,programmed to follow the leader,reprogrammed to be satisfied with garbage (and less) (WHEN THEY WOULDNT USED TO BE))


There definelty is a downward spirial with people over the last 10 years or so AND ITS NOT GOOD!! (All puppets made to stick together and be easy control for the elite)

 

WTF! I think my brain just melted...

 

Here, on this anonymous forum, I don't care (much) what is thought of me.

For a number of years in r/l, I didn't care what ppl thought...then....I had a child.
For that reason - having a son, I began to care what people thought because what people think of you will always be reflected on your child. period and exclamation mark.

Now that I'm older, and he has moved away from this home, I now still care to some degree BECAUSE I've discovered that what people think in this sorry-ass state has EVERYTHING to do with if you keep whatever job you have or not.

SC is called a no-fault state...which means an employer can fire you for NO REASON..so it should actually be called a no-reason state, huh? I keep my beeswax to myself.

 

That's funny, I always thought the only thing that would make me stop caring what people think was to have a child.

 

Which is exactly the reason not to vote for Libertarians like Ron Paul. Libertarians would weaken The State which would in effect increase Corporate power.

 

Being a parent did make me feel more vulnerable about being judged. Then I began to watch others be so conditional toward their kids, and I swore off being the same. My kids would not be trophies. So I accepted them, enjoyed them, developed them, guided them, and now they're 15 and 17, and I think it worked out pretty good. It gave me confidence which lessened how much cared what others' thought.

As for the workplace...that is a harder arena. I like teamwork and rapport, but I also am disappointed with how people accept sub-standard work habits when I'm busting my ass to do it well and on time. So interoffice relationships are always strained for me. Add to that that I'm in quality so I'm paid to find mistakes. People are usually quite perturbed with me, and I find that hard to face.

It's just natural that society does have an influence on us. I'm just not sure how it can be managed.

 

I completely love my child unconditionally...and always have, always will. It's just that how OTHERS VIEW ME will/have been reflected upon their perception of him.

I didn't change my caring what others thought because I put conditions on him and my love for him...but because I know that other people base their opinions of Your Child on how they view you (me, in this case).

My son is now 28 and extremely well-adjusted (moreso than I am, in my opinion) and even happy in his life. (Perhaps I should ask him as to how one actually does that - be happy/content in life. )

 

amazing

 

because it effects your experience, brings change, and is a stimulant to our ego. Though it comes with a lot of negatives and let downs, we usually rather have (or maybe can't help) but to suscribe to such ego candy.

 

I don't know. I don't care...

 

People are busy with their own lives. They're not sitting around occupied with thoughts of you. I hope that doesn't hurt your feelings but it's true.

Realizing how little time others actually spend pondering about me (nil) helps me to not care so much about what other people think about me.

Not to be too corny but the (maybe sad) truth can be quite liberating.

 

I'm not sure I used to care so much about what others thought of me but as i'm getting older i could care less you can't control other peoples thoughts anyway so why even bother worrying.

 

Someone once told me to not worry about what others are thinking about me because they're more worried about what I'm thinking about them.

So, it's kind of like the snake thing--they're more afraid of you than you are of them.

 

That's one happy green pony you have there.

 

Because some people are sensitive to the words or actions that are thrown from people.

 

Thank you kind sir, it just runs outthere.

 

Sensitive people care about what other people think.

 

Why are you asking us why you care what we think?
Shouldn't you tell US why YOU care?

 

If you live your life peacefully and in harmony. Than it's just silly to worry about what others think about you.

Hey some cat here thinks I'm a totally irrational and outright silly raging slut. It's cool if it makes him feel better about life to refer to me like that. But for me it's just words and it don't mean anything unless I choose to get upselt. I'm actually composing a poem about being that right now... it's going to be funny !!
