If so, do you care less:
-because of all the things related to your illness?
-because you’re getting (or you got) older?

I care about what people think. Unless it makes no sense. Then it goes right out the window

I’m a lot more confident at 26 than I was at 16, so yeah I’d say I care less what others think of me

@anon25873142 It’s OK to care what others think, as long as you don’t let that be more important to you than what you think.

I care what people I respect think.
And I respect most people until they prove they don’t deserve it.
I don’t care what a living trash can thinks of me.

Both, but more from everything I went through from the illness. It’s amazing how good of a person you can become when you think your boss and other people can read your mind. The habit of doing good sticks.

You might have done things you consider bad…
Do you believe in redemption? Not the Roman Catholic way of redemption through suffering… but realizing what one did bad and trying your best to do good in the future…

Yea man . I’m working on it. I can’t even tell the difference between my fu cked up ocd thoughts and me anymore. I use to believe I did deserve to suffer and die but I don’t think that anymore…so maybe I’m making some progress but I still feel like I’m bad off and on

For bloody years i worried what people thought of me. Now i couldnt give a flying fck.
Just jealous alcoholics, that are resentful of the income i am on.
I had them before, for years - armchair psychiatrists “diagnosing” me after their 6th pint.
Just a sad load of Tossers really. And if they want to confront me - they better make sure they are upto date with their medical insurance.

Employer and family, yes. A few very close friends, yes. The rest of the world:
Life is easier when you don’t require the validation of others to feel good about yourself.
