Sometimes i care what people think and sometimes i don’t. It depends on the situation. Some things are important to me and other things not so much.
I used to not care. but I value others opinions and thoughts more and more.
mom and dad can definitely guilt trip me into doing things for them. I don’t always agree with them but I don’t want to be “one-way” like my boss used to say about me haha.
I care what people I love think about me. Most of the time I don’t care what other people think.
To get past my symptoms, and I’m in public, people stare but to get past the paranoia I purposely talk a lot to my boyfriend and I say really off the wall things, make a seen, I’m not afraid of what others are thinking of me anymore. Life is too short, and I have nothing to hide.
I’ll lie to people anymore because my life is hard enough, and they just care about themselves and the way I impact them. I create my own reality, because otherwise I would be depressed that I can’t get by in life like other people that my mom’s gf compares me to and my own extended family just cares if people have jobs. They hurt me very deep by cutting me out of their lives because of the sz I can’t control that causes cycles of symptoms. Bad and good days. I’m detached by them otherwise it would hurt too much. In relationships, I’ve been hurt so many times, I’m bitter and numbed and I don’t let their thoughts about me bother me.
I care what my loved ones think. I want to be liked but I can’t change who I am. I found out to keep the radical parts from offending, but I still get rejected, i get over it.
Yes, I do. I think we all care at least a little about what others think of us. I don’t want people to think I’m a bad person. Many of us don’t want people to think we’re inferior due to schizophrenia. No one wants people to think they’re a pedophile. Some of the people in this thread don’t even want others to think that they care what others think of them. 
Caring what others think is human nature. It’s in our blood. Own it. There’s no reason to be ashamed.
Sometimes I just get curious what other people really think of me.

Smiling Faces Sometimes
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend.
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within.
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don’t tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
The truth is in the eye 'cause the eyes don’t lie, amen.
Remember, a smile is just a frown turned upside down my friend.

Come now. You’re the forum angel with a great sense of humor to lift our spirits seasoned with excellent life experience advice. I hope I’m not coming off as patronizing but I think many would agree with me. 
OP:
It feels good to be liked. But sometimes it’s okay to be your own person without being muddled by other’s perceptions. IMHO.
I have to care what people think at work. My job involves convincing people to spend money using their own data.
If I didn’t care what they thought, I wouldn’t be good at my job!
Generally I don’t care in my home life though. I only care about my family.
In spurts I care. Most of the time I don’t give a ■■■■, but every once in a while someone will say something that gets under my skin enough.
Sometimes, so both yes and no 
I like input, that’s about it. We’re all just floating in our own little bubbles in space and every now and then you’ll find someone that’ll cheer you on. Those are the keepers.

I’m too old and don’t care.
Honestly. I am who I am and I’m quite happy how I am as a person. I’m warm and engaging but still some people at the cricket club don’t like me. That is cool. I don’t need your opinion to lead my life and there’s so many other people who care about me and don’t give me grief.
Be yourself and surround yourself with people you care about…and care about you!
