How often have you not done something because of how others might react? How often have you not shared your views/opinions for the same reason? Looking back how often should you have proceeded when you didn’t?
Don’t live your life based on others opinion of you. Most people care far too much about what others think and let this “fear” impact their decisions and how they live. You live once. Live YOUR best version of life. Live your vision. Be true to your own values and beliefs. Other people’s opinions don’t matter unless from someone you identify as having earned right to have you listen.
I don’t care what others think of me in what I do or say. I know I do both authentically and true to my own values and beliefs. This wasn’t always the case and it’s not easy creating this mindset. You must continuously work on self awareness and you must work continuously on you. Become secure in yourself. This is your life. Live it.
