I think I care way too much about if people like me. When I feel disliked I feel bad regardless of why or even if they are being fair to me.
My entire life I’ve always made friends and had almost no enemies or people who disliked me. This changed when I helot sick.
At what point do you just stop caring about people’s opinions? It seems like I spend a lot of time thinking about the people that dislike me and forget the people that do. I want to let go of the bad but it seems overwhelming.
Man I do care what others think. Not in every way, tho. But in some ways I do. I think, like everything you need to find the middle ground between not giving a f and caring too much.
I do not care about the opinions of 99% of people. I made this decision in junior high school and never looked back. You will never have any self-esteem if you rely on others for your own self-validation. I do know I am capable of behaving poorly without keeping a Jiminy Cricket around so I rely on good friends to tell me when I need to stop being such an arse (waves at @Ninjastar).
I guess that’s what I really meant shutterbug… maybe it’s how my sz works in my brain because about 4 years into my illness I just lost myself. My self perception really depends on other people and I hate it.
The crazy part is I can’t just will myself out of the feeling I hope to God i return to a healthier self perception one day man!!
Yea bro …I know it’s gotta be balanced but like I said in my other reply I think it’s got to do with my delusions. I never had this problem before sz …back then I was over confidence!!!
I don’t care if anyone likes me or not period. If they like me cool if not, I am ok with that too so I just ignore block and walk away from toxic people been doing this for years works for me
I hope to God i return to a healthier self perception one day man!!
