NO MATTER WHAT ~ Boyzone

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back




My Question is...

Does it matter to you what others think of you?

Or you just shrug it off your shoulders?

DISCUSS

dont bother me
would i like every one to like me yes
but if they dont that is up to them
do things sometimes people say get to me , yes i am human and have feelings
but 99 % of the time i just dont care lol
<shrug>

Depends on the person. I try to consider the source

Yes, this is definitely u
i get u

Same, depends on who is giving the opinion

no because some people are fools as long as i know the truth and those true to me know

Good for u sweetie

If I cared what others think of me, I wouldn't be on the interwebz.

Matter? Not really.
If it is a friend with good advice I might take it (then again I might not).

If it is unsolicited I pay not a whit of attention. I kinda like me the way I am.

To some degree and it depends on the person.

The thoughts of others give valuable feedback.

The better they know you, the better their thoughts reflect your reality.

You can't know right from wrong until you know how your actions affect others.

You can't know how your actions affect others unless you know what they are thinking.

You can't truly know if what they're thinking is what they are telling you unless you spend a significant enough time around them, i.e. have a significant relationship with them.


I shrug it off it it doesn't really offer anything of practical value.

yes it matters, in terms of character, amongst those with good character

doesn't matter so much what those of little or poor character think

but

it matters to me how I touch others lives which undoubtedly then affects what they think of me and

it matters to me how I 'represent' my faith, and my family when I am in public

an honest and kind reputation is important to me,,,,

i took this from my PHOBIAS & FEARS thread

Allodoxaphobia

The fear of opinions. Being afraid of hearing what others are thinking of you.




Gotta admit, I do have this fear to a certain degree

(well said).

i think, i'm 100% with u on this Miss

really?

Sometimes yes sometimes no

If I answer, "no" then why am I here ? I believe the majority of real people here are seeking approval in one form or another.As others have said it depends on who is giving the opinion and also on the importance of the matter under consideration.The most important thing is to remain true to your own values and beliefs.However,my values and beliefs should also be subject to scrutiny.If people disagree with me on trivial matters then it doesn't bother me.Then again we might argue over what is trivial and what is important.

If they are in my close circle of friends then yes. As far as others that I work with or come in contact with I try to be nice and helpful but at the end of the day as long as I can look in the mirror and know I did my best I could careless what they think of me.
