11 Ways To Stop Caring About What Others Think
Truth be told, no one really cares about you.
That is not to say they hate you, nor that they’re jerks, but rather that they are too busy focused on themselves to truly care about you.
The best way this was described to me was this:
Remember that you are an Extra in other people’s movies.
They are the main character, the protagonists, the hero or heroine of the story, whereas you are a random character that sometimes comes along for more.
Now think about how you treat those Extras in movies.
It does not matter if they get blown up, get flung across the screen or just disappear, you do not care.
Not because you are mean or because they do not matter, but rather because you are too focused on the main story and the characters in the center of the screen.
It is the same thing that happens when you walk around.
We just all believe that everyone thinks about because we see ourselves as the main character, and therefore the center of everyone’s attention.
But that’s not how it works.
So take a breath, relax and allow yourself the freedom to be who you want to be.
