In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I care how people I like view me, and about how those I have to deal with in my daily life do.

I also care that people don't judge me based on rumours and lies, but it seems that ship has sailed in some cases

I probably care too much about how other people see me, but I know and understand the completely ridiculous logic behind it, so I am OK with that.

I do care.

I care that homophobic and bigoted people see me. So I remind them the world is not theirs.

I care that my friends and family see me. I lost my twin, so I have to occupy his space in my world too.

I care that being fat fem and gay isn’t the living hell it’s meant to be.

I care about personal security and how my work sees me. I’ve been homeless twice, it’s not pleasant. So I care.

But I tell myself I don’t care. Cos that’s an easy and comforting lie to myself.

Yes I do. I don’t want others to think I’m being mean/rude to them. I don’t want to make anyone feel bad, intentionally or unintentionally.

This came up the other day for me, I said to someone they come across really rude and I didn’t want to talk to them. They said they didn’t care what people think of them because life is short.

That’s great, go be a twat to someone else then and leave me alone

I constantly battle with it. Very low self esteem really and this has only happened in the last few years. I never used to care but I find socialising crippling. I always worry about how other people see me and am just so cautious as a response. It's tiring and illogical, I'd love not to care again!

I've learnt to care less as I've got older, especially when it comes to others opinions. There's a big difference between people who know you and people who know of you. It's only the people who truly know you that have the right to form an opinion, everyone else's opinion? None of my business.

Not caring how others view you isn't carte blanche to behave badly in my opinion.

I have no influence on how other people see me because they're looking through the lens of their experience. Earlier someone said they don't like Judi Dench because she looks like a step relative who was horrible. Dame Judi would be daft to care about that because she has no control over it

I do care how people I love and like see me but other than that I think as long as I behave in a decent way towards people I'm happy and I not bothered what people think of me.

I worked with a woman who cared deeply what everyone thought of her. I used to get texts late at night from her explaining at length a comment she'd made, I'd usually forgotten all about it and certainly didn't think worse of her for whatever it was.

Oddly she held some awful views which she expressed freely but never thought there was anything wrong with that.

It's partly logical. If someone doesn't know me well then they aren't really in the best place to judge me.

Gossip? General opinion. Infamy Infamy they've all got it in for me.

It's not that I do not care at all. I am just of a firm belief that trying to please everyone is both impossible and recipe for psychological distress. Well it's a diagnostic criteria for several personality disorders. It's healthy to have an internal locus of evaluation.

100% true. We present ourselves a certain way. After that we can't influence how people see us.

That doesn't mean we think it gives us free rein to behave like idiots just that we know some people will like us, some won't and some will be indifferent.

I’m intrigued more than I’d say I cared. The interesting thing about views and opinions imo is that they say more about the person who holds the view than the person it’s about.

What I mean by that is I remember reading something which basically said that we each individually exist 1000s of times over in the minds of others based on their own ideals and perceptions of right, wrong, funny, kind etc with that in mind and you’re always gonna have more negative perceptions than positive ones

Starting out here years ago I may have cared how others saw me but I wasn't using the forums back then so it was only every one to one chats.

As time as gone on and I've witnessed first hand the blatant lies, myths and legends created by some people in the hope of being liked or venerated I've come to see how shallow certain individuals really are and I don't want anything to do with that world.

I don't post pics for fabs, which is lucky based on how few I get and I will go out of my way to avoid popularity contests.

I genuinely don't lose any sleep over how people I've never met view me because those opinions are either based solely on my ramblings on here or they are opinions given to them by their friendly neighbourhood influencer.

I really appreciate the authenticity and openness. If you've had personal experience of negativity, lived experience of certain things than you're more likely to care because you have been or could be potentially affected by it.

When you say you don't care, full on blanket ban for caring it is an easier lie. It's easier than saying this is how I actually feel. I don't think caring is always the negative depiction that's used. There can be a lot of positivity in caring.

If too much time is spent caring what others think then life is not your own, it becomes their life.

The most important thing is to know a person's intentions and know that not everyone has a vendetta or hidden agenda. Inner peace is very important because life has some extremely bitter people in it

I never think about it, and I never conduct myself in a different manner to be liked by others.

I just am. Take it or leave either way I’ll only ignore you anyway and talk to you when I remember to.

I probably care a lot more than I should. It's easy to say that I am the way I am and people can like it or lump it but I've always thought that if I'm in the company of that person regularly then I need to make the best impression.

Similarly on here when I started out, I didn't want to make any big or bold statements that rubbed anyone the wrong way but I've gotten better at dealing with that the more time I've spent on here.

This came up the other day for me, I said to someone they come across really rude and I didn’t want to talk to them. They said they didn’t care what people think of them because life is short.

That’s great, go be a twat to someone else then and leave me alone "

And that's not weird. Or a sign of you being needy or wanting everyone to like you. Not wanting to hurt others is a good way of being, in my mind at least.

Yes. If you don't care and they don't want to talk to you? Go twat it up without you.

"Do you care how others view you? Is it something you think about or do you... not care?

When do you care about how someone views you? "

I don't generally give a fuck what people think, I was singing 'lets go fly a kite' at the top of my lungs, arms raised and wide on the school run. The kids thought I was mental, I couldn't have cared less. They wouldn't stop bickering, they wouldn't listen to me so I did that, they soon stopped their bickering to 'stop mam, your embarrassing.' It worked lol

So yes, think what you want, I don't care.

But I do care about honesty. That's the only time I care, I tend to overshare as I want to make sure people know what I say is real. Although biased by my opinion, or how I felt at the time, I do try to be upfront.

But I know I need to think of others and how it may affect them if what I am saying includes them too. Thats a learning progress *shrugs*

I'm human, so of course I do. I care very much about how certain people view me but less about the opinions of others.

We all want to be liked, valued, respected and loved in some ways. Some of us more than others of course.

I don't try to be someone I'm not to win approval, at least I hope I don't anymore.

My circle in the real world is actually quite small and we all love each other fiercely.

When it comes to work then I hope I'm liked but mostly I hope my knowledge, experience and skills are valued.

When it comes to fab there are only a very small number of people who's opinion of me I care about.

I hope those people like me and are genuine in that. I think they are and I really care about them. Time is a precious resource for us all so I never want to be a regret.

I'm afraid the rest are strangers on the internet. Sure, I hope most think I'm likeable but there's no relationships there.

Ultimately my days of people pleasing are over. I want genuine connections and I'm working much harder at liking myself more too. It's only now I realise just how important that is.

I think that's it really.

If you spend so long worrying about assumptions, about various things you can't change, you lose sight of yourself. No one should change to please another.

It can be easy to be swept into the "oh fuck, they don't like me" but it doesn't really serve you. It can be hurtful sometimes but it's so much better to just carry on. Unless you've been a utter twonk of course.

"Our next door neighbour doesn't like me, a woman round the corner has taken one comment I made and run with it to assume that I care full time for an invalid husband, another person dislikes me because I went to her house for coffee once early in the year and for various reasons haven't been again. How would me caring about any of this help? I think all it would do would be to make me unhappy , doubt myself and make me chase after people trying to change their opinion of me.

I think that's it really.

If you spend so long worrying about assumptions, about various things you can't change, you lose sight of yourself. No one should change to please another.

It can be easy to be swept into the "oh fuck, they don't like me" but it doesn't really serve you. It can be hurtful sometimes but it's so much better to just carry on. Unless you've been a utter twonk of course.

Oh if I've been an utter twonk I'll acknowledge that, feel bad and apologise. The odds are that the person still won't like me though "

Very possibly. Fuck it though, you would have been true to yourself, done the right thing and that's the most important thing.

I don't think people are weird for caring or not caring what others think of them. Obviously there's extremes but generally there's not one best way to get through life.

I do care yes.

But more worryingly, I care far too much about other people. I'm always feeling for them, and caring that they're happy.

I'm told a lot of times to start thinking of myself a bit more!! Lol

But realise not everyone is going to like you. Everyone has different tastes

Yes of course I do care, because I'm a big soft lump. And that's ok, I deal with it pretty well these days.

I doubt most would be a tad upset if they heard that someone said something mean about them even if they didn't like them. Feelings are ok, it's how you deal with them that's important.

"Do you care how others view you? Is it something you think about or do you... not care?

When do you care about how someone views you? "

No Op I do not have any insecurities. Do you care how people view you?

On here I don't give two fucks how I'm viewed, why would I care about people, who the vast majority I'll never meet.

In real life it all depends who you are, but then I know those who matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter....

Nope, others folks opinion of me is none of my business, I know what I'm about. I'm not a judgement person or make nasty comments about people so all good.

I ignore rumours and gossipy nonsense it just comes back to someones opinion - which is none of my business lol! I send peace and love out to all

Only if I care for those people otherwise:

"If your absence doesn't bother them then your presence never mattered to them in the first place"

Those I care about yes. Generally I don't want to be seen as a twunt but I can't fix another's perception of me. It's also a drain worrying about me. I don't think it's an insecurity to care about how people view you. It depends on the extent to which you care.

I have a real problem with body dysphoria and I certainly care how people view from a physical stand point.

"I don't think I want to comment on this honestly because right now I think there's an awful lot of people that think I'm a total arsehole on here.

That's pretty harsh I think you're one of the good ones
