How to Care Less about What Other People Think
1. Know what matters to you, personally – what you stand for, and what your values are .
2. Don’t be anxious about breaking social norms. The more often you do this, the less it bothers you.
3. Decide not to live as a people pleaser, or to get upset and take rejection personally.
4. Hang out with people who are self confident, who know what they believe in, and what they want from life. You’ll find that their self-confidence will rub off on you, too.
5. Try to work on becoming more competent in the skills and areas that matter to you. That will naturally enhance your self confidence, and develop a self image that is strong and positive.
6. Travel, and spend time with different kinds of people. That will show you how diverse attitudes and outlooks are. There’s no one way of being – so find, and be, yourself.

“I got us a Peloton for Christmas. It wasn’t like: ‘Hey bitch, you’re fat.’ Nothing like that. It was my wife who wanted it, for the both of us. I used it all the time for the first month. I was on it every morning. But then I quit, and now it’s turned into a $2300 coat rack. That’s how it always goes. Every two years I’ll lose thirty pounds, then it all comes back. Things will get busy at work and I’ll fall into old habits. Right now I’m heavier than I’ve ever been. And I’ll probably be even heavier next time you see me. I’m stressed out by it. I wake up sweating in the middle of the night. What if I can never get to where I need to be? The doctor’s already told me that my cholesterol is high. At this rate, I’ll be lucky if I make it to 50. What would happen to my wife and kids? We have some money, but not enough. Every time I fail at a diet, I wonder if I should stop trying. I think: ‘Maybe this is just who I am. Maybe I should get comfortable with it.’ And that will make me feel better for a second, but the anxiety always returns. Because in the back of my mind– I know that comfortable means dead.”

"Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart."
