At one point in life, you just don’t care. When I was younger, I always wondered what people thought of what I said, what I did, didn’t say or didn’t do. I got tired of trying to figure out what others were thinking.
Now I just do my best, treat people with kindness and respect and if they react negatively for whatever reason, I ignore it and move on. I also learn to stand up for myself and if someone treats me negatively or unkindly, then I defend myself and stand up for myself or others if I have to.
I’ve grown to appreciate the old saying: ‘How people think of me is none of my business’
The benefit is that every once in a while (not every time), you get to meet some really honestly genuine kind and good hearted people.

Good idea. I guess not caring is better for mental health, too
Did it come naturally to you or you worked on it thru books, therapy and whatnot?
