Daily Short Blog #2
It’s a great to start your day caring less about what people think of you. Even though we can’t completely get rid of what people think we, we can at least gain self-awareness and control over what we spend our precious time and emotional energy to, which will make us gain more freedom, confidence, and a sense of liberation. So, it’s worth giving a crap!
I have been reading Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck lately and I have learned some of his life lessons and tips on how to care less about what other people think. So, I’m sharing you some of the smart ways I learned from his book and other things I got from my own experiences:
Be honest to yourself.
Starting my own blogging website gave me a portal to share my experiences and life lessons that can be of great help to other people. My goal was to be quite honest and to always give a valuable transparent opinion. A lot of people think I was crazy about doing such things, but still, I obeyed what my heart said. Now, I realized that once I stopped caring about what people think, and pursuing the things that makes me happy, my life got way better.
Disconnect with negative and toxic people around you.
There is a huge tendency that they will pull you down. Distance yourself from them. They will never stop saying hateful and shameful things about you. You know, haters are everywhere! Do not feel intimidated and bothered with what they say, but if you can’t prevent this, just ignore them and push yourself out of the situation.
“If you continually care about what people think about you, you are not living a life”.
Keep in mind that we only have one lifetime.
Why should you entertain judgments and critics if it won’t make you live longer?
Control your social media news feed.
There are some days when I felt too lazy to do anything so I would scroll on Facebook and Instagram to pass the time, then there they are! – work out posts of genuinely fit and healthy people consecutively hitting my news feeds. I knew this was a sign stop being lazy, go be healthy and do workout.
Apparently, this is a good example of how social media can help us attain our goals and change our perspective on things, including life. Though sometimes, we need to tailor our social media channels and disconnect with negative things that bother us the most.
Therefore, fill your media accounts and follow influencers who could provide you inspirational and motivational lessons in life. If you want more positivity, look for pages that use hashtags such as #selflove, #selfconfidence or #positivetalk.
Don’t be the victim, instead, be the creator.
It’s like when you’re driving a car – well, you can’t drive a car if you’re in the passenger seat right? So, take the wheel, control the situation and go wherever direction your heart tells you to go. Otherwise, someone else will drive it for you and you’ll never know where you’ll end up.
Be confident and feel comfortable.
It’s as simple as loving and accepting yourself and not caring what other people will say, whether it’s positive or negative. Don’t stress about what they say, because people will always talk.
“Maturity is when one only learns to do shit that’s really bullshit.”
“The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” by Mark Manson
Find your goal in life.
When I started my blog, I was too afraid of failing and I’m unsure what other people will say. They could tell me, “You are a bad writer”, or “Your English is bad”. But I’ve realized, my objective was well-built and truly impregnable so I ignore my anxiety for these uncertainties.
Instead of assuming of what may happen, I thought about why I want to do it. As you know, you can make some money through blogging and I made that one of my goals – but most importantly, blogging is my own way of sharing my ideas and help others.
So, dig deep and find your goal in life, strong enough that will make you distracted from caring about others’ judgements.
Have a small circle of reliable friends.
Keep a small circle of friends that care and support you in what you do; compliment you and are not afraid to critique you. So that when you need somebody who could help you make a big decision, they will be there for you to encourage or even calm you down when things get out of hand.
It’s all in your head so focus on yourself.
There’s a good chance that what you think others are thinking about you is purely just a part of your imagination. So just focus on your own goals, you’ll find out that everyone is actually too busy thinking about themselves too – too busy to even care about what you’re doing.
“The best revenge is not giving a crap”.
Be grateful for what you have and what you don’t.
Surround yourself with people who lift you up, acknowledge all your achievements and affirm positive statements about yourself.
In the end, living your life should not depend on what other people think of you. Life is too short to care too much on what other people say.
So, if ever you receive a negative comment from somebody – write it down, burn it, tear it apart, toss it, do whatever you like. See? You are so much more powerful than what others think about you. It’s time to regain control over your life.
So that’s it. I do hope that these self-empower ideas could help you to stop giving a f**k on what others think so you can put yourself first.
I would love to hear from you!

I literally unfriended and unfollowed people on social media that make me feel bad or worst. And that’s okay to do
I think we could all benefit from these tips. I like the small circle of friends one.
It’s hard. I still struggle with it and I’m in my 40’s.
These are great tips, and I am pretty this will help a lot of people who struggling with it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
It’s easier said than done. Social media can be hard work with so many trolls about. Sometimes it helps to just log off.
I think this is what we all should learn. It might not easy but always worth it.
It takes a lot to stop caring but once you do life’s just so much better! I’m constantly improving, hopefully one day I won’t care at all haha.
I love this! We all need to learn it
Removing toxic people and taking care of one’s self is so important. Thank you for reminding us to stay true to ourselves.
We need to be more confident with life. We don’t need to be afraid! Great talking points there.
Hihi…I am glad to hear you are following your heart and desires! I really wish I had done this, very many years ago!
Absolutely accurate! The freedom you feel once you stop caring what others think is a thing of beauty!
This are really great points, always focus on yourself everyone else is temporary
I think being grateful for the things you have is an awesome point. It’s hard to not compare with others, and wondering what others are thinking about you. But if you can manage it, it’s great!
As I get older, it makes it easier not to care what other people think. Caring what other people think only holds you back.
Toxic people will repeat their behavior over and over despite what they say or what they apologize for..
When you know yourself, have goals and focus on them you start to realize that you dont give a sh*t with other people, of what they think of you.
