Do you care of what others think of you?

Do you?

I'm talking about being afraid of people talking behind your back or people you see in public. I'm not talking about loved ones.

And also, I certainly don't, I could care less of what others think of me. I am very happy with who I am and the decisions I make, and no random person can judge me with me caring enough to try and not act like myself or be someone else.

(sorry if I didn't specify the question enough, but you get the 'jist of it)

I used to a lot when I was younger, but then I grew up :P

Only the people who I like and wanna be admired by.

Not at all. I mean, I'm self-conscious about myself and all, but I honestly don't care if some random person doesn't like me or thinks I'm weird.

In fact, I actually like it when people judge, because it makes me feel good about myself knowing that it doesn't affect me. So feel free to flame me as much as you wish. :P

yes i care what others think of me. that's why i wash myself, wear clothes that aren't ragged, and act a certain way. i think everyone cares what people think about them, to an extent.

Of course I care what people think about me. Otherwise, I'd likely be a sociopath.

I mean, if a random stranger accidentally scuff your shoe while getting into the elevator after you, you probably wouldn't turn at them and scream at the top of your lungs "do that again and I will rip your heart out and eat it, you grimy piece of ****!"

I mean, people would think you've lost your ****ing mind.

Show me someone who doesn't care what others think about them, and I'll show you someone who is in prison (probably for a very long time).

Yep, I'd like not to but I do.

Well, honestly, I do care about what my friends think. It doesn't bother me too much if they don't like something about me because I know that I am who I want to be, but I almost never give someone a reason to dislike me. I generally try to be nice to everyone; Even people who don't like me.

to a certain degree... I don't want to imped on people, or make them uncomfortable. Still I'm not going to change myself just to please others. I'll cuss in front of your children, but still say "thanks" if you hold the door for me. I also don't want people to think I'm some sort of bum either so I dress, and look clean.

No, because I'm sure they talk**** behind my back anyway since that's the way people are. They are pathetic so criticizing and belittling others is what they do to feel better abouttheir selves. They don't have anything better to do. If they had a life of their own they wouldn't be discussing another's.

You can't go through life caring what others think of you, otherwisethey forget that you don't need norenvy them. You should be tactful andcivil, but don't let them forget that it's respectnot envy. You can betheir enemy just as easily as you can be their friend.

Nope, except my friends.

Yes, to some degree or another. Everyone does.

Well, I am the way I am, I do not care what others think of me. If they will not accept me for it, then I don't need them. I'm not going to change for people, I'm very comfortable with myself.

Also, I don't act civilized and well mannered because I care what people think of me, I do it because I am civilized and well mannered.

Not so much anymore, but yeah a bit.

I don't really care anymore. Not since HS at least when I was trying to create my "image"... Now I couldn't give two ****s what a bunch of thick skulled mouth breathers think of me when I don't know them, and don't get paid enough to care. Most "people" I interact with and encounter are through my job, and honestly people piss me off more often than not so I stopped caring what they think about anything lol.

Well, I guess we differ on that one. When I eat alone, I'm a lot less conscious of how I eat (not like a pig, but I do things that I'd never do in the company of others, such as shovel food into my mouth, use my arm as a napkin, place my elbows on the table while eating, etc) due to the fact that no one is watching. Just being honest. Why eat like a pig? It's not that one tries to, it's just what happens when one doesn't bother. Manners take effort, and there is no other reason to utilize them aside from being socially beneficial.

Manners and such things as washing I do more out of consideration for others, as I don't find it enjoyable to watch someone chew with their mouth open or have to sit next to someone in a theatre who doesn't know the definition of personal hygeine, but I'd be lying if I said I don't also do those things to be seen as respectable by others.

Absolutely. There are people in my life who are very important to me, and you'd better believe I care about what they think about me. But I know they will support and accept my decisions even if they don't agree with them, and so I don't feel handcuffed by it in any way.

I also care about what my students think of me, since that's rather important to the quality of education I provide. And I care about what my colleagues think of me for the same reason.

Yes i do, just by giving a good impression.

As for eating like a pig. I only use the silverware when my hosts offer it to me, because usually they went through the trouble of setting it out so I may as well be courteous. If they want to play fancy dining it wouldn't be right to ruin it for them. Once you learn to eat without the utensils eating with utensils seems unnecessary unless it'ssomething that requires utensils.

Eating pasta with your fingers is awesome:P

That too much work. But I have eaten dryraviolis with my hands many times. Just dry or dipped in a cup of sauce like nachos.

Well of course, but only to a point.
