    To the point, then. Do you care what other people think about you? Is it the all-important factor in your life? Or do you not give a flying f*** what other people think? Discuss~
     
    Unless they are people who matter to me, I could not care less. I don't give a damn about anyone's opinion except for the opinions of people who I care for.
     
    I'm kinda in between. Sometimes, I won't give a damn **** about what other people think of me and I do whatever I wanna do but some other times, I care about what people around me think and I do things accordingly.
     
    No ****s given. AT ALL. I might be the extreme however, as I consider it not only rude to bring up how someone views someone, but I also believe that if you are so shallow to judge others, then you are such simply because you cannot take a good look at yourself and see what your flaws are. I know what the hell is wrong with me, no need for your judgmental ass to tell me too.
     
    My perspective on this question changed over the years. Now I consider it to be pretty mature and well educated.

    Whether anybody wants to admit it or not, we do care what others think of us. Not only because we, as humans, want to be validated, but because we have to. Some may care less than others, such as myself, but we still do care.

    Take for example a case everyone has to (or should) go through. Interviewing for a position at a job. Do you want to interview there and them not to like you? Of course not! Them not liking you means they won't hire you. You want to be well received, you want them to like you. You may not change yourself for them (and I don't suggest you do), but you still want them to like you. And that means you care what they think of you. You may not take it to heart and let that affect you and change you, but you still care. If only for that particular circumstance.

    Take another example. You're meeting your girlfriend's folks. You don't know them. They don't know you. Therefore, you don't really care about them as people just yet. The only connection you have to them is the girl you claim to love. You want them to like you. If they don't like you, you'll be heartbroken that you don't have their validation.

    Being well liked and well received means you are validated. Humans like to be validated. That does not mean that they require validation from others in order to feel good about themselves. It just means that they like to be validated from a source outside of their own frame of mind. It's human nature.
     
    I don't give a damn, why should I? I mean, if they don't like the way I look, then they shouldn't look at me, if they don't like the way I talk, they shouldn't listen to me. I'm my own person and my life isn't going to be bossed around by the mere public. So, as a great man once said...

    'Screw you guys! I'm going home!'
     
    I only want validation from those I care about and respect. I agree with most of what you said though, especially the part about potential employers in job interviews.

    I also agree with Elendill in that generally it's rude to bring up to someone how you view them (if it's negative). Especially if you don't know them that well and if they didn't even ask for your opinion. Some might think of that as just being honest, but I also find it extremely arrogant to start pointing out someone's flaws to the person. Talking behind their back isn't any better, but most people don't want to hear your negative observations or opinions about them.
     
    I don't care what random people think about me. I only care about people who I care about.
     
    Only people I like and that like me. Otherwise no.
     
    Strangers no because I probably think the same about them plus if I don't like them I will just ignore them. But when it comes to people I know and respect I treat them like I want to be treated and I act my age.
     
    No, To people I know which are classmates,relatives and others..... I do some extreme acting like I just randomly cry then when they say "I'm sorry..." I laugh at them because they were trolled. :D

    Yes, If they are people I don't know..... except for those in the internet.... just in real life..... so I can track 'em down then kill 'em. :3
     
    I'd lie if I said I do.

    So yeah. I really don't give a ****.

    EDIT: But, if someone doesn't like me for no reason whatsoever, I will give them one, and carry on.

    I care about what people think of me. I'm not the only person in my universe, nor do I live for myself only. I think strangers' opinions can be the most candid and tell you a lot more than what friends say.
     
    I've always cared about how other people view me. I wish I didn't tbh, but I do. I guess it's a good thing though. I'm always open to suggestions on how I can change for the better.
     
    As I sit here I think "pssh, of course I don't care what people think about me."

    But I know the moment I actually go and try to interact with people, I care. A lot. I'm actually extremely self-conscious about how I act around other people, even complete strangers, to the point where I'm sometimes second-guessing what I do in case they might think ill of me. :(
