Do you care what people think about you? why/why not?

I care to a degree but not to the point where I compromise my own belief or value system. I do try not to hurt anyone.

Of course I do. I care. I want folks to like me and i want to get along with people. But I have a very hard time adjusting my beliefs or violating my principles to do so. I have probably hurt more feelings or offended someone's beliefs as much as anyone else.

society bases its opinions on what IT thinks is right and feeds on people to fit the desired mold but F it! who wants to be just another cookie cutter?!! i do things for myself not other people! if i want to be freaky then HELL i'll be freaky! its jst like what Christina Aguilera sang..
"If I want to wear lingerie outside of my clothes
If I want to be erotic in my own videos
If I want to be provocative, well that ain't a sin
Maybe you're not comfortable in your own skin.."

Not particularly. Because life's too short.

Yes I do, I'm a little bit mixed up and have a few problems. I like to know what people think of me to be honest.

No because I like myself the way I am.

Ok. You take care too.

Well said

No I don't... First of all, iI consider myself not as a trend setter o any claim to fame of such but more as a leader than a follower... I love myself so why should I care what others think? Caring what others think is totally dysfunctional...

I'll be honest--yes, there is a part of me that cares, whether I should or not. I think it's human nature to want people to think well of you. However, I know that the only people whose opinions truly matter are those of my friends and family, and someday that of my employer. Therefore, while I may be a bit discontent if someone thinks poorly of me, I know better than to try to change for them, because in the end their opinion of me means nothing.

I live my 'quietly & calmly'!
I don't disturb/disrupt others way of life!
"live & let live', let GOD sort it out,
I'm not 'the JUDGE'!
I'm productive & polite to all!
But, 'don't mistake my kindness, as a weakness'!

Like most people I do want to be liked but in the end no. I can't control what people think and I'm not going to stress myself worrying about it.

Lo que la gente piensa de mi, es cosa de ellos, respeto sus puntos de vista pero no me altera ni me importa. Las opiniones hay que tomarlas de quien vengan y darles un valor.

No I am myself and I don't give a darn what other people think of me

No that's up to them i am not going to lose any sleep about it...Life's to short.

Why do people say life is too short... When it's actually the longest thing you will do?

twas a joke, a play on the phrase "life is too short" When the length of life is much longer than everything else you will do... I am neither bored with nor unhappy about my life, I love it and want to live as long as possible. Not sure how you got I was bored of it from that statement.

Lol just a saying.....But when ur in ur 40's lol u tend to think wotever and not get arsey about thing's.............

I guess on some primitive level all people do, but some experiences in my life, and the general angst I've developed about modern society, protect me from too much of that. All the little embarrassments people worry about to no end seem insignificant in comparison to the wider perspective of human life when you understand that they are just culturally conditioned notions. Once you understand the origin and internal workings of those notions you can deconstruct them in your mind and just think of them as silly human categories you don't have to worry about. In the end you could be a middle-aged unemployed virgin and be completely in peace with that in your own mind, while everyone else thought you must be a tormented basket case.

No, I don't care. People that have a problem with me aren't worth worrying about in my opinion :)

Yes and no. But sometimes more than I should.

It happens!.. As Gump would say.

Not so much because if you try to live your life by others opinions you will fail...better to live true to one self then always worried about what they are thinking of you:)

Yes.

To some degree I do. On the other hand, I am who I am.

No.. because it doesn't take other people's opinion to make me what I am.. I know what I am...and whats even more important God knows what I am.

Certain people I do.

Depends on who they are

hell no idgaf what people say or think of me cause you just gotta deal with me anyways soo Ha!

To a degree yes and like to think as the song goes; I’m just a soul whose intentions are good, oh Lord please don’t let me be misunderstood.

Yec I always care although most of the things makes me feel bad

nope !! i dnt care wat people thnk of me coz they r nothin to me !!! ;) but yeah people do make a lots of changes in every 1z life but after all loneliness makes every 1 different some or the other way !!

i really really don't give a dam i am me if if you don't like it step offfffffffffffffffffffffffffff

No, and, with all due respect, I don't need to justify my statement.

No, it does not change who I am
