Things Your Mom Said You’d Understand One Day, And Now You Do

Don’t care what people think
We don’t fully realize just how much of our lives we spend worrying what others think until we truly stop caring. We’ll reach new phases of caring less what others think, and believe we no longer care at all. But eventually, when you really stop caring, you realizing how much the opinions of others dictated your behavior for many, many years. My mom told me not to care what others thought. But I had to learn the hard way what a bottomless pit of despair it is to base your actions on the approval of others, and what incredible freedom there is in having zero reaction to what others think of you (except the ones you really love and trust).
