I don’t really have anything in mind… but just wanted to write down… I figured everything I’m thinking, but don’t really want to think about or talk about, will just pour out. So what are those things? Hmmm well it is harder than I thought… ok so I care what others think… and I really envy those people who give a fuck what anyone else thinks… but honestly I think they are talking from their back side. Because whether they like it or not… whether they want to care or not… It is human tendency… everyone in this world cares what the other one is thinking… our actions are dependent on it. I know it sounds like bullshit… but that’s the way it goes. Some are ok with it and admit that they care about what ‘others’ think… some others; I’m probably in that category, are infuriated and disgusted with the fact that we let others kind of control our lives!! Ok so we live in society… we have to follow some norms and all that jazz but we also have just one life!! Why can’t we live it on our terms instead of being affected by what ‘they’ think? I want to be able to do everything I want to do!! I want to be able to tell the guy of my dreams that I like him, without worrying about what ‘they’ll’ say. I want to be able to say a certain fashion is hideous even though it is what the top models are flaunting… I want to be able to wear what I’m comfortable in, without wondering that ‘they’ might think it’s not appropriate. I want to be able to study as hard as I want to and be smart without being labeled as a geek… I want to be single and not see anyone… without making people wonder if there’s something wrong with me (I mean c’mon people… you don always need a guy or a girl to live your life!!) I want to be able to express my opinion without worrying that ‘they’ might think it is wrong. Because I believe that there is never a wrong opinion… its how u look at things and how u interpret them. And that can never be wrong. It might change… but it still doesn’t make what u thought earlier wrong. All of the things mentioned above have probably bothered me, but I try to fight against them and most of the times I’d like to believe I come out the winner, but there are those off days, where ‘they’ are really getting to me!! I know a lot of people say that they don’t care what people think, but trust me they do!! Whether they admit it or not, it definitely affects everyone. To some more, than the others. But no one can get ‘them’ off their backs. So what we can do is learn to live with them, fight them whenever we can, never ever lose ourselves trying to keep up with ‘them’. We just have to try, I know it sounds easier said than done, but if all of us give in, and just do what ‘they’ think is right, the world will be devoid of what we call ‘originality’. There will be no happy people, they might claim to be happy, but actually they are doing not what they want but what ‘others’ want and that, most of the times, does not bring happiness!! What others think, sometimes may seem like the right thing to do, and I’m not saying that we shouldn’t take suggestions or opinions, but the final answer to all our questions must come from within. We should agree with things because WE believe them, not because THEY believe them!

    Well of course people care what others think, this is for two major reasons in my opinion 1 poeple need to be loved to be happy. This is part of that. People are affraid to hear negative because it may cause someone to stop or not give love. It is not necessarily the person saying the thing thei worry about. 2. people often know the other person is right deeep down inside. I often find this with girls in particular. They don't want to know something they do may cause other people not to like them so they ignore it or try to justify it. If someone tells them so, they overreact for the same reason, hiding the truth from themselves. On the other hand, being non care is often another defence mechanism. the balance lies in deciding who's opinion matters. The opinion of your loved ones, husband, whife, friends matter. Take some time to evaluate someone else before you decide if their opinion should matter. There are core values in people that should be your measuring stick to weigh their opinions. A stranger, should not really matter, the only thing is not to start using this as an excuse to be offensive yourself. We all just gotta share the Love man
