As a preteen, a teen, and coming to being an adult in 2 years, not caring what others think is no easy task. To tell you the truth, I care SO much about what others think of me, so I’ve never share any personal information to other like my marks in school, my ideas, my thoughts etc. to keep my rep or status. I kinda had a “paranoia” that everyone’s opinions are more important than mine and that if I don’t think a certain way, everyone will avoid me. I guess you can say that I afraid of being a loner. However, trying to be like everyone else just made me boring. This made my self esteem really down, and got me into a depressed emo phase. Even though everyone sees me as the kind, happy person I show myself to be, it’s totally not that way. I feel that whenever someone’s opinion goes north I feel as though I must go north as well. I always thought I was an individual totally different from everyone, but in reality I am actually no different than a herd of sheep following the leader. This has got me thinking that I’ve totally muted myself; I shutted off my opinion, my voice, and who I am. Later, I thought to myself, why would I care so much about how others think of me. Bam, it hit me. I had a habit and felt the need of trying to impress/please everyone while forgetting that the most important person to please is myself. So for those who are feeling the same way as me, forget everyone else. Choose to live life for yourself and not others, because when you live as yourself, it is much easier than trying be someone you’re not just so you can please everyone. Trust me, not everyone in this world is gonna like you for who you are, but that’s their lost if they can’t accept they way you were meant to be. You may not be the most popular person, or may just be a person with only a few friends but as long as you know they are the ones who stick through the ups and downs with you because you’re Y-O-U.
