Don’t Care What Others Think
“The concept you have about me is not going to change who I am,
but it might change my concept of you…”
Dr. House
Perhaps, many times, you have already stopped doing what you wanted to do for fear of what others would think about you. He felt that he should do what they expected, that he should live up to their expectations; otherwise, you would lose the approval of those around you. It’s time to start working this on yourself, to improve your self-esteem and be able to do what you want freely.
think for you and for you
Think about yourself, what you really like. You must be able to live your life independently, you must do what you want without it affecting you, without caring what others think. Your life belongs to you, your actions too. You must start thinking about yourself, what you want, and do things according to how you feel.
You will often feel fear, because, possibly, you have always acted like that, doing everything to get the approval of others. Get out of that comfort zone, go to new places, explore your full potential, this is possible!
people who inspire
The first thing you should do is meet people who share your ambitions. It is necessary that you expand your circle of friends. Discover new environments and places. Just look at you; if your current friends don’t understand you, it won’t be long before you meet new people, people who share your interests. It is very important that you create these bonds. Surround yourself with like-minded people and you’ll find that you won’t be judged by them. Then you will start doing what you really want.
It is not necessary to change your circle of friends. Your new friends will join your life and the “usual” friends, the ones who really like you, will stay by your side. Those who are always willing to see the downside and question what you are trying to do will walk away on their own. Act on your own criteria and your new medium will follow you.
Only those people who support and believe in you should remain in your life. Maybe you feel lonely at times. Don’t worry, little by little you will adapt. Your friends will be outnumbered, perhaps very few, but they will be worth millions.
talk about your plans
To overcome your fear of disapproval, you should start talking about your projects or sharing your wishes and dreams with some friends. By talking to them, you will be able to organize your ideas, your projects. You will feel confident in yourself and will be able to embark on your new path without any major fears.
Then it will be easier. Once you’ve started, you’re sure to feel safe fighting for your dreams, and what others think won’t matter. You will be able to tell everyone what you are working on and what you hope to achieve. When they see that you are more secure, that you feel confident, no one will tell you anything negative or criticize you. These things happen when you are indecisive, when, before you start, you show fear and insecurity. But since you’ve already found your way, nothing others say can affect you.
Prepare for the problems you will face
It is likely that not everything is gold, you will always find stones in your path. You will have to trust in yourself and look inside yourself for the necessary strength to move forward. Often, your closest circle of friends or family doesn’t understand what you do no matter how hard you explain, so ignore it. If necessary, make use of these few new friends, but don’t hold back, don’t let the opposites get the better of you. You’re smart and you can find a way, I’m sure.
What should matter most to you is yourself. Your actions should only please you. Think carefully about what your goal is and define the path you should take to achieve your dream. Nobody should stop you from reaching it.
Who should you listen to? Yourself. At this point, you will have managed to find people who think like you. May you appreciate it for what it is. But in the end, you are the only person you should listen to. Meet with you, feel your confidence, feel that you will achieve what you set out to do.
Now that you are 100% with you, many will want to join you. One of the hardest things in life is giving yourself your true worth, finding your place in the world. When he finds out, when he meets you, everyone will see him that way. You are the one who decides who you share your life with, so choose those people who are good for you.
