How I Stoped Caring What Others Thought Of Me

I used to be super in my own head… And it limits you.

You don’t start that business or making videos because “what if x finds it” or “what if x makes fun of me” etc. It genuinely is holding you back like crazy and if you stopped caring you’d start doing the things you want to.

Firstly, not everyones opinion should be irrelevant, like mentors, good friends or parents, they want the best for you. Maybe it isn’t the dream life for you since they don’t want you to risk it and potentially lose. But they still want the best, so listen and acknowledge their opinions time to time.

I can’t believe I hadn’t realized this sooner, but the way you overthink about how others view you, the same others think the same. They are just as if not more self conscious or worried about others opinions on themselves as you.

Even if they do look at you or start thinking of you in the moment, they’ll forget as soon as they remember themselves or anything in their own lives.

It’s repeated a million times at this point but thats because it’s true. A lot of people who judge, condemn or make fun of you are doing it to compensate for either a shit relationship, home life, work or just anything going bad in their lives.

Whenever I see a youtube comment that’s negative I just think “you have something going on (and low IQ) to go out of your way to be negative on a comment section.”

Also what I do in these situations, either in real life or online. I just don’t reply to it. If you don’t feed into their energy they’ll find something else pretty quick. Just like how no one replies to their comment unless you do first.

The realest advice and actionable step I could give you to get over others thoughts on you is to put yourself out there. Whether it be sales, videos, or just a job where you interact with others on a consistant basis.

Think of it like a muscle that gets exercised. The more potential criticism or thoughts of you that comes your way, the more you get used to it. You’ll get over it, and once you do you become stronger to it.

Also if something gets you down, the best way to get over it, is to realize you’ll get over it eventually, so you might as well get over it now.

Essentially

• People are too focused on themselves to think of you

• The ones who do look down on you, need distraction from themselves

• Go out and allow yourself to feel more judged than ever
