Do you actually care what people think of you?

[NikoBelic999]

I would say I don't, because I can ignore people enough where they don't bother me, I'm a little popular, but thats it. I am not bothered by what people say about me.

What do you think?

 

[hiphiphippo]

i wanna say no; but tbh, yes D:

it's not that i want everyone to like me, but idk. it's weird o;
so yeah. idk how to explain it. lol

That depends. I care what people think only as long as what they think seems reasonable to me. Otherwise, I practice an extreme amount of ignorance. I'm that person, who when generic rebelious / immature person tells me off, just sort of gives them this knowing look and shakes my head, before walking away.

I speak my mind, with little regard for how other people think of me. I say what I believe to be the truth from my point of view, and if I'm wrong I don't feel so much as a ping of regret.

Sometimes, mainly on public video games I can come off as one heck of a jerk. But for the most part, what I want to say is not something mean or rude in any way unless blatantly provoked.

Basically, the rule when working with me is "Do it with some kindness in mind or it's a waste of time."

Depends on who it is, and what they think xD
If it's someone close to me, then I do care; but if it's someone that can't be bothered with getting to know me, I'm not bothered by it.

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

It really depends on what they think about me.
I have to say Yes. I'm so self-conscious about myself, which sucks.

 

[Rapide]

Ehh... I really want to say that I don't care what others think about me, but I kind of do. D:

 

[Eternal Nightmare]

People can think what the hell they want about me. I'm still going to be who I am at the end of the day so I could really care less.

 

[Eeohnex]

It depends who it is. I remembered I used to care a lot about what people thought of me in middle school but now it's just like whatever. As long it's not something biggy or a rumor, I don't care. I guess my self esteem has gotten better over the years. You just have to learn to live by the opinions of people, positive or negative ones.

But I do care what my friends, and family think of me. I try to be at my best everyday for them.

 

[Sammi]

I care too much about what people think of me. >_<;;

I keep lying to myself and telling myself that I don't have to care about what others think -- especially people I don't know -- but it's not something that's easy to forget.

Funny thing is that the majority of the time it's not like I'm ever going to hear what they think of me anyway, and it's not the end of the world if they don't think highly of me, so why do I spend so much time worrying about that? But even thinking that doesn't help me and ugh. It's a big mess. @@;;

 

[Legobricks]

It's more often that I don't realise in the first place that people should think anything, but I do care enough upon that consideration where applicable.

 

[Porygon-Z]

Yes.

If people don't like me, then when there comes a time that I need their help they wont want to make time for me.

Anyways peoples reactions to my behavior is a good indicator of whether or not I'm being a nice person.

If you don't care what people think about your behavior, it's usually because you think they'll say something bad.

However I don't care what people think about my tastes, the way I dress or how I have my beard/hair (it's pretty normal anyways, lol, but not everybody likes a beard) because I do those things to make myself happy, and feeling comfortable with yourself is the most important thing of all.

 

[Taemin]

A little.

It doesn't consume me, but I care to a point.

Like, for instantaneous I keep my appearance up, so that I can look nice, and I don't act out and such. I don't want people thinking that I don't take care of myself, or get the wrong impression. Although, I think most people are that way, so I don't think I go overkill. xD;

I'm myself, and well.. we can't all like everyone.

If people think badly of me, than that's just how it is.

 

[poopnoodle]

everyone does to an extent. i certainly care, i carry myself so that i'm approachable, i do want to keep my job and i wouldn't mind a bit of a social life. problems arise when people really dwell on others' perceptions of them. generally i don't have that issue, but i admittedly tend to pick on myself quite a bit.

 

[Binary]

I'll be honest and say yes =|
I'm self-conscious of myself most of the time. I try be liked by people and that depends on my actions, so I always think before doing something. I care alot actually D:

The Poop, she speaketh truth.

 

[I HEART MEGA HITT]

I do worry about what people think of me but not as much as I used to. In my opinion, it's there fault if they choose not to get to know the real me. I really don't care if they don't like my style or how I do things. It's not my life their living and I have every right to live my life the way I want to live it. I don't need to listen to people who "know what's best" for me.

 

[TheUltimateSacrifice]

Lulz. Recent studies show that the time required to realise that I don't care what other people think of me, is 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds.

The only two "people" whose opinion of me that I care for, actually aren't people.

 

[Tyrantrum]

Well, there was a time where that would happen(*cougheighthgrade&beforecough*) and I would cry about it(literally). ;___; Now that I'm in high school, I could really care less what people think. I walk around with a Pokémon shirt for God sake.

 

[Eldrei]

People think of me as a little kid! Even my gf think of it!! And I'm fine with it. Being gay and joyful is great! ^.^

 

[Limey-chan]

I would say no, but i'd be lying.

I tend to take things to heart, even things that on the face of it seem innocent enough.
