DO YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU, HERE IS A FEW TIPS I HAVE AQUIRED THAT HAVE WORKED FOR ME, AND NOW I DONT CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF ME
Hello everyone, welcome or welcome back to Women Empowering Women Blog, thank you for your time. You being here doesn’t only show me that you want to support me but it also shows me that you want to empower yourself and other women as well and that’s outstanding so thank YOU.
As you may know, this blog is mainly for women, for us women to support each other but I think we both know that there are some women and men who continue to gossip and talk badly about us, and even though I can’t help it, I sometimes care what they think of me - I did care, but I don’t anymore and you can too, you can careless and that is the point of this post, to help you or rather help change your perspective about other peoples thoughts.
I am going to film a video explaining how I stopped caring about what other people think of me, so subscribe to my YouTube channel Karabo Moeketsi and stay tuned for that video, I will appreciate the support.
DISCLAIMER: THE TIPS I AM ABOUT TO GIVE YOU DID WORK FOR ME, BUT IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU!
First lets talk about why we think other people gossip, its no secret that many other people think that those who gossip either have low self-esteem, or are just jealous of you and want to spread negativity your way, and we should be concerned about people like that, even though they aren’t particularly speaking good about us, they must be going through something and they must need comfort so seeing that someone else is living their best life, may affect their mental health. Of course, it’s not our problem what they are going through but just give it a thought.
But now let’s focus on us and how we can let the gossips slide:
Do you acknowledge that you care what others think of you?
If you are at this point in the blog, you tell me yes, that’s the first step to stop caring what others think of you, it’s accepting that you do care. Do not be embarrassed that you care because, at the end of this blog post, you probably won’t anymore.
Who is that person that you care about what they think of you?
The second step is to think clearly- you keep thinking “ what are they going to say if I do this” who is that particular person you care about so much about what they think of you?
If you figure out you are a step closer to not caring about what they think of you, you now know who you are concerned about.
For me it was my classmates, I cared about what my classmates thought of me, and thinking about what they thought of me brought my anxiety and it wasn’t good for my mental health because I’m sure they probably didn’t even know my name.
You see what I mean, we are thinking: “ Oh shoot this person is going to say this looks bad on me” while that person doesn’t even know you unless they do- even if they do know you, don’t worry you’ll stop caring, just keep reading and take notes.
Why do you care
Now, for this question think very hard. WHY do you care what they think? And be honest with yourself because that’s the only way you can stop caring.
I cared what my classmates thought of me because I didn’t want to embarrass myself, I wanted my class to like me if you don’t know I am an introvert and the only people I spoke to at school were my friends, it wasn’t easy for me to make friends and the only way I made friends if someone else wanted to be my friend, think of it as though my friends made the first move, so being in my class I didn’t want to be an introvert, I didn’t want to be shy so I came up with scenarios in my head of what they probably thought of me. Do you see how much caring about what others think of you can impact your life, it’s not fun. So I will ask again, why do you care?
Think of the future
The last step and this is the most important. If you remember this step and think of it whenever you care what your peers think of you, after a while you won’t care anymore.
When I say think of the future, I mean think of YOUR future, is that person you are worried about in your life in the next 5 to 10 years? I don’t think so. So why do you spend so much time caring about what they think, they are not even in your future.
Do you see what I mean? This person is not in your future, yet you care so much about what they think of you.
Let me explain using myself. I dream to live in New York and being an interior designer ( just making an example) and my classmates may have dreams to be doctors in London, so we won’t even remember each other because we aren’t even friends, even if they are your friends, they will be in London and you will probably have new friends so rather spend your time caring about those who are going with you to New York.
Always remember this, “this person I am concerned about and what they think of me, is not even in my future so let me not waste my time thinking of them right now.”
If you remember these steps, especially the last one you won’t care anymore.
I am now homeschooled so my chances of seeing my classmates are very slim, I may cross paths with them at the mall. If I don’t want those to see them ill just go to the mall during school hours when they are in school.
And that’s it. Those are my steps to stop caring what others think of you, lets go through them again, screenshot this if you want.
Do you acknowledge that you care what others think of you?
Who is that person that you care about what they think of you?
Why do you care?

Quote of the week:
Define success on your terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.” – Anne Sweeney (President of Walt Disney)
When I read this I thought that if I spend my time worrying about what others think of me won’t benefits me, so I should live my life for me and stop worrying about other peoples thoughts because in the end, they probably don’t even think of me that much and they won’t even be in my future, the same goes for you.
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!
