Stop Caring About What Other People Think

  1. Create a new standard to live by.
  2. Remember this Stoic meditation on death.
  3. Dial down the negative people in your life.
  4. Learning how to stop caring about what other people think doesn’t mean distrusting everybody.

The thought lingers in the back of your mind.

What will they think about me?

What you do. What you wear. What you say.

The opinions of others haunt your thoughts.

Living to please others. Meticulously planning every step. Hiding behind a smiling facade.

It can be exhausting. And worse… paralyzing.

You want to live your life they way you want to free from the opinions of others. You want to learn how to stop caring about what other people think.

But how?

These shackles do not physically chain us.
