Stop Caring What Others Think of You
A pleasant evening everyone! I hope you're all doing fine. I'm just gonna share today what are the ways to do to stop caring what others think of you. So if you are interested on this topic, please read until the end. 😊
Not caring what people think is one of the main keys to personal development and also just building your dream life. By not caring what people think about you, you have the power to go down any road that you want to and build your actual path to success.
Not caring about what other people think about you is so crucial to being able to do anything you want in life. We are constantly judged and now with this new social media age, it's even easier and faster to judge people. We're constantly being criticized and right now I'm just going to give you three tips on how to get over and conquer this fear of being judged so much.
The first tip I have for you guys is to stop needing approval for everything you do. So everyone wants to be approved by every single person, right? That's in our DNA. We originally started out as a tribe species - so it would be sort of a follow-the-leader type of thing - where we follow the leaders actions. He's always right and we always stick together and we did this for millions of years that's why we're we evolved to be and act and think this way. And just now we're being able to be alone with our own thoughts and judgments.
So what I would suggest for you guys is to take some time alone and really be in your thoughts you know. Meditate over it, think about what you really want to do and stop needing that approval of others to think that something is right. Do you realize how ridiculous that is to only do something if everyone else says "oh yea"? Do it if something feels true and real to you and you know it will make you happy. Just go for it! It's going to be hard to get out of something that we're biologically prone to do but once you realize that the need for approval is just something that's rooted in our DNA and it's not actually necessary, it's an incredibly liberating feeling.
The next tip I have for you guys is to realize you to not please everyone. So yes, pleasing everyone is impossible. Think about when someone compliments you versus when you compliment yourself. Which one will have a greater effect on you? This realization of "oh people are complimenting me I must be good at it, I must be better at it, I must act a certain way to please all these people" is called confirmation evidence. You have evidence from other people that is confirmed that you are better at something or you're more attractive than someone. The bottom line is you cannot please everybody. Everyone was brought up differently so everyone has different beliefs.
Beliefs are very important essentially what they are is how you were raised to believe in, the things you do, it determines your reality. Beliefs and reality have a direct correlation. Anything you believe in will be true and anything you don't believe in will be false. So by this principle it means that everyone has a different reality. How do you expect to please everyone if everyone has a different mindset and a different reality than you? There are going to be people that agree with what you're trying to do and there's going to be a people that don't agree with what you're trying to do. That's just how it is as soon as you start changing your beliefs.
You can start changing your self-image which is the - really not caring what people think about you once you start thinking better about yourself. Onnce you start getting to that mindset that positive mindset, you can finally just build your actual dream life. You need to stop letting people get in the way of what you want to truly do just because they don't like or don't approve it and start living the life that you envisioned. So please stop trying to please everyone because that's such a stupid concept. There's going to be people that agree with you and there's going to be people that don't and you just need to accept that and the people that do agree with you and support you get more of those people in your life.
The final tip I have for you guys to stop caring what other people think about you is to realize no one thinks about yourself more than you. So this is on par with social anxiety and this type of concept and practice can even completely alleviate your social anxiety. Basically you think everyone is watching your every move when this is just completely false. So how do you combat this?
It's really simple actually. Instead of focusing on yourself and what's going on in your head, you start changing your focus to what everyone is doing around you and when you're focusing on what everyone's doing around you, focus on their facial expressions and their body language. You need to see if they're very open with their posture, they're standing up straight or if their arms are crossed and they're looking down like they don't want to be there. Once you start recognizing the things people are going through or if they're actually having a good time, they don't give a damn about you. They don't care what you're doing, all they care about is the opinion of themselves. So once you start to recognize the little things in people's facial expressions and body postures, you will realize that these people have so much other to worry about themselves other than me. The topic of yourself in them is virtually non-existent and once you realize this you're just completely liberated of any social anxiety.
Stop the overthinking on yourself. Realize that everyone's got their own problems and everyone is focusing on how they can better themselves at all times. The only thing you need to be happy is your self-image. Just change your self-image and you will change your life.
Good read. Caring what others think of you will just make you more conscious. Instead of perfectly doing the things you like, you may end up doing it wrong.
