how do you stop caring what others think about you

how do you stop i want to stop caring

First, remember that its natural to care what people think but secondly keep in mind that we cannot control their thoughts. Knowing that we are eternally limited in this regard does help. What also helps me is I will ask myself: "If I knew what they were thinking about me, would it really help me feel better about myself (negative or positive thoughts)?"

Probably not.

For me, it was coming to the understanding that not being true to myself and not fearlessly expressing myself was causing more damage and pain than anything anyone could ever say, think or do.
I'll say a prayer for you, God bless!

I wanted to add, what's most important is what God thinks of you!

I don't know the answer, but, I do know that what really matters is what God thinks of you. And he loves you, completely, unconditionally and eternally. That is the truth.. you are His son, a unique and precious creation, known before the beginning of the world. Hold on to that, and the rest, really, is unimportant.
Praying for you, brother

I don't think that deep down you'll ever be able to STOP caring. However, just remember that everyone is so different that there are always someone out there that won't like you. Remember that God made you the way you are because you are fearfuly and wonderfuly made.

REMEMBER! There were crowds of people that hated Jesus, John 19:6
When they saw him the leading priests, and temple gaurds began shouting "CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM! Always look on the bright side when people are negitive to you, that at least you didn't have to be beaten and hung on that cross.... Remember that (if ur christian) that the way they treat you is because Jesus lives in you and they hate Jesus not u. John 15:18

please read the book Jesus Freaks
God bless

I hope you know that another persons thoughts of you - don't define who you are, or your worth! (Also), another person has no right to judge you! (Also), noone can really "know you" - especially when they don't "understand" you! *Knowing that you have "Love within you" is all you really need to "live", "survive", "prosper" and be with "Peace" ; to be "Happy"! *And I can tell that you "do" have Love within you - because you wouldn't care what others thought of you if you didn't. ***I used to worry about what others (may have) thought of me in the past - but what I soon realized (through "Love"/"God" ) is that all that matters is what "God" thinks of you! - (and God will "always" love you!) *And believe it or not, so do I.***Also, it seems to me that, where you reside, there isn't as lot of "Love" going around. Please know that most people "do" love : It's just that some are just keeping their defenses up to protect theirselves from being hurt, used, or taken advantage of -(we all have our "scars" in one way or another). *Trust takes a long time to build these days - but where we show true "Love" towards another, true love will follow : One just has to be patient, stay strong, and keep the faith!*And remember, anothers "negativity" cannot hurt you (or "turn" you) - when you don't let it!*Also, why worry about what others think - when there are so many other "better" things to do!*(Also) - "worry" is fear of what "might happen" or "might be happening" - which isn't logical, can drive a person crazy, and can steal ones happiness. *We all design our own destiny by the paths that we choose to walk on {our loves, passions,etc.) : it's just that sometimes one can be concerned about "negativity" getting in the way. But, there are always ways around obstacles like that : "Simply Ignore It" - (if there's nothing you can do to change it for the better!)****(Also) - Our "worth" is what we know within our own "Heart"!-(within ones "Spirit") : And where there is True "Love" (which is the meaning of "Life") then that life is "priceless" because then that life has the ability to create endless heavens - and is certainly worth more than an infinite number of worlds that are "without" love {life}!***"Love" - creates what is truly "alive" - and will live "forever" : and "negativity" only (tries to) destroy it. *Don't let it - and you'll be alright!***I hope you have a Wonderful day!***And "remember", you can "make it" Wonderful!
