Stop Worrying About What People Think Of You

Although it’s natural for our brains to care about how others perceive of us, it’s not always healthy for our wellbeing. So if you find yourself often creating mind stories about what someone thinks about what you have just said or done, you are most likely creating dissatisfaction in your life that can be turned around. Instead of caring too much about what someone thinks of you, appreciate that everyone has flaws; and we all make mistakes. We all have issues that we could work on to become better and happier people. While that includes you, it also includes those people you worry don’t like you or don’t think you are good enough. And while it’s not healthy to drag up every negative thing you can think of about someone else, it’s a good practice to remember in general that no one is perfect.

Usually, it always feels good to be liked and admired. But there are bound to be people in this world that you just don’t and may never be able to click with. And being okay with that can be challenging, but if you find yourself trying to do everything you can to make someone like you, you are wasting your energy. Life is way too short to worry about what erroneous things people might think of you. You can’t control what someone thinks. To ensure you are living the life you have to the fullest, it’s healthier to just shrug your shoulders if someone seems to dislike you, and move on. And besides, most people are caught up in their own thoughts and worries. So when you come into contact with people who seem to look down on you, it may simply be that they feel bad about themselves or choices they have just made. And they, just like you, are caught up in their own mental world; and aren’t thinking about you at all, but are focused on what’s going on in their own lives. They often react out of that place too, not based on what you’ve done or said.

When you have a goal, something that you really desire to see happen, you can often be kept in a state of inaction because of fear of what others will think. You may have even experienced having a close friend tell you how irrational, unlikely or just plain crazy your dream is once you finally opened up and shared. Remember, life is short, take a deep breath and dive in, if you ever want your life to be the way you want it to be. Don’t let others determine what you can and can’t do; for there will always be critics, and no matter what you do or how hard you try, you can't please all the people. The risk is always worth taking. So just let go of the need to please everyone. Let people say what they will say and do what they will do. As long as you are living your higher inner vision, and being true to yourself and your heart, you are on the right path and that's all that matters.
