It is harder than it seems, I know. I have been there before. When you are constantly worrying about what your peers think of you at any given moment, it is very hard to just stop caring all together. It does not come easily and won't happen in a day. We have all been worried what people think about how we look, how we act, what we do, and simply just negative thoughts about ourselves. As humans, that is completely normal. However, there comes a point where it needs to stop.

So how do you stop caring about what others think of you? Well, first off you have to accept that no matter what you do, someone will always be judging you. You can't control what someone else thinks nor do you know what they are actually thinking. Remember that you do not need everyone you meet to like you. Surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself. Also remember that there are people whom you are not so fond of yourself, so there may be people who don't necessarily like you either and that's okay. Finally, you just have to accept yourself. If you like something about yourself, such as a hairstyle or an outfit, go for it. If you feel good about yourself, it shouldn't matter what someone else thinks. Remember that you are a lot harder on judging yourself than others are at judging you. They most likely aren't actually thinking the things you think they are thinking about you.

So what happens once you stop caring about what others think of you? Life simply is easier. You might not completely stop caring about what others think of you, but even if you are able to reduce your cares just a little but, life will be so much better. You are free to have fun and enjoy the moments you are in once you stop caring what others think. You surround yourself with people who are like yourself and accept you for who you are. You enjoy life better when you stop caring what others thing.You will spend less energy thinking about negativity and more on focusing on what actually makes you happy. You will no longer feel like you have to change who you are, not for anyone, because you accept yourself. Finally, you will define your own happiness, not others.

Life is better once you begin to stop caring about what others think of you.
