This fear stops you from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/getting-out-of-your-comfort-zone\/\">getting out of your comfort zone<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/reach-your-potential\/\">reaching your full potential<\/a>. This is partly a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/protective-instinct\/\">survival instinct<\/a> \u2014 humans have always needed the cooperation and support of those around them to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But accomplishing big things means getting out of your comfort zone and risking failure, as well as subjecting yourself to the ridicule of what other people think.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other People\u2019s Opinions Are Not Your Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When making a decision about your life, rather than worry about what others think, simply ask yourself, Do I want to do this\/get this\/be this? Is this taking me in the right direction? Am I going to \u201cscrew anyone over\u201d if I do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You are responsible for what you do, but not for other people\u2019s reactions to it. <\/strong>This is a perception issue: What others think about you doesn\u2019t have anything to do with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of a movie. One person could leave the theater in stunned tears, transformed, and moved beyond words. Another person could demand her money back because she thought the movie was a load of garbage. It\u2019s not about the movie; it\u2019s about the moviegoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you move to a place where you stop caring what others think? The key is not just denying the criticism any power over you, but also not getting caught up in praise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Praise feels great, but when we base our self-worth on what other people think of us, we hand over all our power. You have to understand what\u2019s true for you, outside of anyone else\u2019s opinion, good or bad, and hold onto that. Everything else is just someone else\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/perceiving-reality\/\">perception of reality<\/a> \u2014 none of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Other People\u2019s Opinions Are Important<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An important aside: While you can\u2019t base your self-worth on what other people think, there is such a thing as constructive criticism. Sometimes it\u2019s easier for people to see what we can\u2019t see ourselves. This can help us connect with our own truths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if people have been telling you all your life that you have a quick temper, that they\u2019re afraid of being open with you because you\u2019ll blow up, ask yourself if this is true. Can you use this information to improve yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Same thing with compliments. If you hear something about yourself repeatedly, ask yourself if it\u2019s true and if you can use this to better yourself and the lives of others. For example, if you\u2019re repeatedly told you\u2019re a great listener, ask yourself, is this true? If so, can I use this skill to improve my life and the lives of others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Stop Caring What Others Think<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you truly stop caring what others think about you, you become your most powerful self. Not caring what others think is a muscle and it will take some time to build it up. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Ask yourself, \u201cwhy?\u201d<\/strong> When you\u2019re about to say or do something, ask yourself why? Is it to be liked? Is it to put someone down due to your own insecurity? Is it out of revenge? Or is what I want to do or say coming from a place of truth and strength? Pay attention to your motivations and be honest. Always come from a place of integrity.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Do your best<\/strong>. The fastest way to fall prey to others\u2019 criticism is when you feel insecure, and you feel insecure when you\u2019ve half-assed something. When you do your best you come from a place of integrity; you can be proud of yourself and stop caring what others think.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/trust-your-intuition-trust-your-instincts-trust-your-gut\/\">Trust your intuition<\/a><\/strong>: You have an incredible inner guidance system \u2014 your gut. <em>You<\/em> have the answers, not the drunk guy across the street you have no idea why you listen to. Strengthen your connection to Source Energy and trust that you know what\u2019s best for you. (More tips on this later in the book.)<\/li><li><strong>Find a mentor\/hero<\/strong>: Think of someone who is impressive and inspiring to you, and ask yourself why? What is it about this person who strikes a chord with you? Then, when faced with a challenge, ask yourself, what would my hero do? Eventually, when your \u201cnot caring what others think\u201d muscle is built up, you\u2019ll only have to ask yourself, \u201cWhat would <em>I<\/em> do?\u201d<\/li><li><strong>Love yourself<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to know how to stop caring what others think of you?
