    Do you care what other people think of you? by this i mean do you dress the way others do, do you act the way others do etc just so people will like you or do you act like yourself?

    Hah, no. I seriously don't give a damn what others think of me, only my parents, maybe. I dress the way i want, I talk how I want and I act however I feel like. If someone has a problem with what I do, I don't mind him/her telling me directly, but I wouldn't care less. I am myself around people and trying to be someone else is stupid and tiring.

    I don't really care what people think of me. I try to be as different as possible and be as far away from the mainstream as I can.

    Usually no, but there are those spur of the moments when I get a little "ZOMG, I'm too different". Most of the time I'm not bothered (like when dancing in the street with my mother. :DD), I am myself, and that is something nobody will change. =)

    I don't really care what others think of me, but I change myself so they will have no opinion of me. I don't like to stand out, so I try to appear as someone to ignore. I wear greys and dark colors and am quiet. I feel that if others actually see me, they will make comments, and I don't want to deal with that.

    I don't give a damn what they think. In recent times, I've come to realize I'm actually a great person. I'm not trying to sound like arrogant, but it's true. People actually like me for me, which I used to think no one did. So...yeah. Yay for being yourself. :)

    Usually not. Except today. I had to go to a job fair, so I dressed up, trimmed my hair, and tried to look presentable to potential employers.

    But there are people who hate me for the smallest and stupidest reasons, and I don't let that bother me. I'll just be myself, and whatever others think of me, I really can't control, so I try not to let it affect me.

    A little bit, I'd admit, but I try not to let that bother me to much. I try to be who I am. And I'm awesome at being me. ;D

    Well I'm not going to lie to an extent I do. I try my best not to care, but the truth is I do care about some things. I don't always completely believe people who say they don't care at all. There is always some point in your life where you sort of care. Even if it is for a minute.

    Not...too much, but I do care if people have a view of me that I feel may be off base. I don't really like people thinking the wrong things about me and being afraid to approach me in any manner. That really is the only way I would care about what others thought of me, otherwise I'm not too bothered about it all since I generally do keep to myself and am not the most talkative person.

    So yes I do care what others think.

    Well i won't usually care what people think of me, until i come face to face with the people i'm suppose to be with. I always like being different but i always end up falling into the crowd.
    if only i could have someone to be different with me, then and only then do i think i could truly be myself.

    I care what the people closest to me think of me. Random people on the street? nope, random people on the interwebs? nope.

    I just try and be nice, it might pay off one day you never know :)

    Not at all, I could care less of what people think of me. Back then, I was like that always however.

    I used to care very much what people thought about me, but something changed in my mindset gradually throughout the course of the summer where I went from obsessing if someone liked me or not to not really giving a damn about anything they had to say about me. I mean, it's a great feeling when you finally stop caring what people think of you and letting that strip you down. I can't count how many times I've had to mask who I was just to fit someone else's standards.

    I like being different and take pride in it when people call me a freak (which doesn't happen that much since I've graduated high school, but whatever). I always did like that back when I was in high school. I was only myself unconditionally back then when I was around friends. Now I've become a lot more bold in who I am, since I don't give two shits what someone thinks of me; good, or bad. Family is an exception to this, though, especially when it comes to disappointing them... and even then it's very rare that I let negative things they have to say about me get in the way of what I think of myself.

    If it's someone I respect, then I care about what they think of me. There are few people that I respect. I can think of about 5 people.

    If it's someone I either don't know or don't respect, then I couldn't care less.
