Most people cannot honestly say that they love themselves.
Everyone deals with it at some point. Some people never get over it. Trying to please everyone is exhausting and useless. You could never twist yourself into a person that everyone would like. No matter what, you will be criticized.
If you know that you care a lot about your reputation, ask yourself if you are happy. Are you living your life to its full potential if you make every move wondering if you will be laughed at for it?
Yes, it's way easier said than done. Don't care what others think of you. I don't think it's possible to completely stop caring, but there is a way to have a healthy relationship with yourself and how the people in your life view you.
It took me many years to learn to stop basing every tiny detail of my life on how I could make myself more likable. I'm still trying to get there. It isn't easy. Many people live their life this way. They try to distort reality and appear to be someone else only to please other people. But if you think about it, other people's opinions of you mean absolutely nothing. If you are out of this world happy, does it really matter what people you went to high school with think of you? Does it matter if you are not liked by every single person you've met? Maybe you're hung up on that one guy who said you were ugly, or that one girl who turned you down. Judgment never stops.
You need to realize that the opinion someone has of you does not alter who you are as a person. It doesn't matter if someone disapproves of the way you dress or the amount you post to Twitter on a daily basis. If you think you are doing everything you can do to be a good person, then thats all that matters.
It all comes down to how you feel about yourself. If you truly feel content with who you are, then who cares about any nasty words said about you? Humans are naturally inclined to talk badly about each other, it's something nearly impossible to avoid. Everyone does it in some form or another, even if they don't realize it.
Most people are too concerned about what others think of them to even notice you. Most people are too busy criticizing themselves to criticize you. If someone goes out of their way to make you feel negatively, then you need to realize that you are above them. Someone who feels the need to hurt you is not a person whose opinion should matter to you.
The most important opinion is your own. Are you genuinely happy? If not, why aren't you? If it's because of other people in your life who are giving you negative energy, then you need to ignore those people. If it's a fault in yourself, work to better yourself. Because we all only really have ourselves. You are the only person you will spend your entire life with, so you might as well like yourself. That kid from high school who always gave you crap will not matter in five years, or ever for that matter. Your future children will not adore you any less because some girl called you a "b*tch" when you were seventeen. Your parents will not stop being proud of you because someone subtweeted you. You will not become less of a person because someone doesn't like you.
You need to realize that you cannot stop people from judging you. You can only try to teach yourself to abstain from judging others, as this is a healthy way to live. When you stop criticizing others, you learn to love yourself even deeper. If you focus all of your energy on being kind to yourself and to others, you will find yourself much happier than you ever knew was possible. You will find yourself carefree. It won't phase you when someone doesn't approve of you anymore.
