It depends, really. As Citrinin said:

"I care what my friends and family think of me, yes. And there are certain situations where I care what strangers think of me, like a prospective employer in a job interview. But, aside from that, no, not really. :/"

I do care what people close to me think. But, when it comes to strangers (other than employers/job interviews/etc), I really don't.

If they don't like me, so be it. They can just learn to accept people how they are.
But, if something's blatantly obvious like my shoe is untiedmy hair's out-of-whack or something like that, then I don't mind them pointing it out/whatever they do.

Like I said, it just depends.

Back in high school i did more than i do now. Now i don't really care but it still doesn't mean that i should not pay attention to how i dress. Now that is just uh...hmmm like c mon man! In any case yeah i dress ok but i don't give a flying rat what others think of me as long as i don't hear it.

I used too all the time, hence me getting all worried (and even getting anxiety attacks sometimes). However, for now only I'll care about what my family, close friends, and certain other people (interviewers, employers, high-esteem people if I get to meet them) think about me.

There was a point and time when I did consider what others thought about me, but as I grew older I learned that I am my own person, I'm unique in my own way and what others think of me is only their opinion. Those who like me as who I am is accepting and right for not judging one before getting to know them.

However, like some have mentioned there is certain circumstances when I still do care about what others may think of me. For instance when going out for a job interview or when I'm in school and my teachers take an impression from me, and other critical points such as this.

I've never really cared. For example, playing DS at my school gives you a really bad reputation. I do it anyway. =)

.. Woah, pretty much everyone in this thread doesn't give a damn.

Well, actually I give a damn. I give a damn and a half.
I can get pretty hung up on it.

But it depends on who it is. I mean, I don't want my family and friends to think badly of me.. but there are some people I don't care about at all. The people who I don't like.. I know they think badly of me, so I'm not wondering.

I hope I sort of .. grow out of it, like everyone else here seems to have done.

Well, I think everyone does to an extent...even those who insist that they don't care. (If they really didn't care, I don't think they'd be posting that they don't.) Caring what others think is just a human trait, and it greatly influences our actions. That's generally a positive thing, but a lot of people are TOO concerned about what others think and let it control their lifestyle. I certainly do care, but I have high self-esteem and don't let other people's opinions get in the way of my goals and desires.

This.

I believe everybody does care about other opinions, at least to a certain extent. I know I'd actually be lying if I said I didn't care about what other people thought of me. It seemed to be the one thing that used to consume me so much because I tried so hard to fit into a society and to blend into a crowd. That's just what I wanted, to be able to blend in and not stand out, at the fear of being some outcast. But...that was a long time ago, and while I still feel inklings of this pop up from time to time, I generally like to feel carefree without thinking too much about what other people thought of me. While it may be good to not care so much, there are times where it's bad to care so little, so having a good balance in my case would be ideal.

I used too, but I don't really care anymore. I mean, it doesn't really matter, if they like me they like me if they don't they don't. But ever since I came to a new high school for a ag program with a few of my friends, it's so much easier not to care because you don't know anybody, and they don't know you! Soooooooo much better than my old school, I love it, nobody knows you and you don't know them, I really enjoy school now, it was like a fresh start when I went to a new school! So yep, I really don't care what other people say, just have a good time and get good grades and everythings okay! ^.^
