Holding positive thoughts and leaving negative thoughts of others would help in progressing our life to reach the destined goal in a faster rate as per our well and wish.
Been trying to do just that in my life as of late and it is making me happier when I can do it without relapse. I am human though, so I do slip up, and it hurts me when I do.
A few years already. Once I read in one of Paulo Coelho books a sentence saying “what other people think of you is none of your business” and since then I stick to it 🙂
…on second thought, maybe I wouldn’t need to buy shoes because someone might throw theirs at me, and it wouldn’t matter if they fit or not because I wouldn’t care what people thought I look like. ;D))
To be honest I don’t care too much what the others are thinking about me, so I’m doing what I’m doing because I want to not because of the others. I take my own decision because I want it in this way and not because what the others will think. But I think nowadays there are quite a lot of people out there doing things only because they care what the others say and think about them. Which I think is a very conditioning life…For me everybody should do what they please them and not caring too much what the others are saying or thinking. They’ll be much happier.
That’s awesome! Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something because of this fear about others might think (which is different from doing your thing based on your desires)?
As cliche as this is, I’m really my own worst enemy. I would definitely be able to focus on the positive qualities I see in myself and no longer spend so much time tearing myself down because of how I think others may be viewing me.
I would feel as I do now, free. When I start to think/worry what others might think of me I start to feel negative. No one needs to feel like that, best to not worry about it.
I stopped caring about the “others” a long time ago. That’s when I realized that the world hates your balls for being honest to yourself. You are termed arrogant. You are sidelined. Then you are totally relegated to being invisible. Well, you know by now why I am a loner, don’t you? But is it all worth it? Absolutely! I have but one life. Better to life it with freedom and honesty.
I actually have. I feel that, in the first place, no one thinks of you anyway, they are too busy worrying what others think of them, and in the second, I spent too much of my life attempting to please others at the cost of mySELF. My self-esteem, self-respect, etc. Life is too short and too difficult to care so much what others may or may not be thinking. If you want to be truly happy and free, you have to stop caring about things you cannot control. Live the life that feeds your soul, irregardless of the opinions of others.
I totally agree with this so next time we stop ourselves from doing something we’d want because of others, we need to re-consider how important is our life for us…
You would say that caring about other people’s opinions about you is related to empathy? Maybe empathy is related with other people’s opinions in general, not the ones oriented towards ourselves?
Well I read the question different than most of the people who responded. You didn’t specify what kind of opinions and I see most people associated your question with negativity and I thought hmm what if they were all just good opinions and you just didn’t care?

That is an excellent point of view! I love the way you think about this!
I would be a lot happier
Yes, me too!
Holding positive thoughts and leaving negative thoughts of others would help in progressing our life to reach the destined goal in a faster rate as per our well and wish.
We leave those feelings keep us down too much!
It would keep us down too much ,Unless or untill we learn to ignore it…
Yep, that’s right!
Life would be most wonderful ever..
Been trying to do just that in my life as of late and it is making me happier when I can do it without relapse. I am human though, so I do slip up, and it hurts me when I do.
But it is the perseverance to continue in spite of the occasional slip up. 🙂
Yes, agreed!
It hurts from time to time, but I’m sure it is worth the effort to do whatever you want in life! 🙂
I’d be a hell of a lot happier lol
So we need more of this in our lives!
Yes!
I am already doing it 🙂 and nothing much really happened 😉
For how long are you doing it?
A few years already. Once I read in one of Paulo Coelho books a sentence saying “what other people think of you is none of your business” and since then I stick to it 🙂
Life would be easier.
Wouldn’t that be the best?
Ideally yes!!
I’d become unacceptable very quickly! 😀
You’re not the only one! I’d be right there with you! 😀
Yay! I’ve read all of your old posts.
Really? That’s amazing! What did you love the most and what improvements do you think I need to make?
I love the questions of the day. Just don’t start frequently posting more than two posts a day. That would be impossible to keep up with.
Well, I would probably be less guarded and more carefree.
And less tensed I assume, right?
You said it! Lol
I would be a different person, for sure. I would be carefree and less careful in what I say and write.
How helpful do you think that would be?
Absolute freedom
How would your life look like in this absolute freedom?
I would not be such a mess.
So you are how you are now because of you caring about what others said?
Might be
I’d need to take up a new hobby and buy some running shoes…
…on second thought, maybe I wouldn’t need to buy shoes because someone might throw theirs at me, and it wouldn’t matter if they fit or not because I wouldn’t care what people thought I look like. ;D))

True, but that might hurt your legs :))
How come you need to take up a new hobby?
I’d make people mad with what I write in my blog, or hardly anyone would want to read it. Please don’t ask me how I know that. 😅
Well, maybe it’s your fear talking 🙂
Heck yeah it is.
Absolutely nothing would happen. I live for me and mine, not them
That’s amazing! You are an example for me! 🙂
Would be much happier
What would be the first things you’d do?
I’d be a powerful, sassy person who got all the stuff done!
That would be interesting 🙂

We would live much happier lives and accomplish more of what we were created for possibly
I’m sure we would and I’m sad we don’t do it…
As cliche as this is, I’m really my own worst enemy. I would definitely be able to focus on the positive qualities I see in myself and no longer spend so much time tearing myself down because of how I think others may be viewing me.
What are the top 5 qualities you have?
I would feel as I do now, free. When I start to think/worry what others might think of me I start to feel negative. No one needs to feel like that, best to not worry about it.
Awesome view! I try to do that as well…
I would leave a much more happier life
What can we do to get there?
Lets help each other on how one can stop caring about other peoples opinions over ones life
We would be free and real and comfortable with the people around us
Would you say that fear stops us from being like that?
Fear of rejection I guess, pride sometimes

I’m glad you’re able to see the good in this situation!
Nothing would change…

This is why you have such a beautiful life 🙂
I like it, but it may not be for everyone… 🙂

You would lose empathy towards others.

What can I say, I’m an optimist. Hehe 😉
Sweet freedom to let your freak flag fly! <3
That would be very interesting!
I’d live a very free and genuine life with no apologies to anyone.
Other people’s opinions can bring some great blockers in our path…
