Have you ever noticed that when people say they don't care about what other people think about them, it is usually in response to something negative?
This scenario never happens:
Scott: Hey, John. Hunter was telling me yesterday that he thought you were a really great guy.
John: Oh, I don't really care what other people think of me, Scott.
The point is a fairly obvious one that we overlook (I don't think I've ever thought of it until this morning), but in order to truly not care what people think of you, you have to forsake the good as well as the bad. For the most part, I think most people don't care what negative things people think about them. Or say the do in order to mask the fact that their hurt.
Not a revolutionary idea, but I was excited because I hadn't thought of it until now.
Plus, I wanted to keep it short for a change.
And since when did caring about what other people thought become such a bad thing?
