Do Opinions Really Matter?

Why do people care so much about what other people think of them?

I see so many people try to be someone who they are not, just so they can “receive approval”. First of all, why do you need approval? You are who you are, and believe me, someone loves you for you. Here is a tip: If you are looking to receive approval from a person or a group of people, then you do not need their approval.

The ones in your life that like you for you, are the people that you need to keep close. Do not try to change to fit someone else’s desires. Let’s face it, the only opinion that actually matters, is your own.

So moral of the story is, be yourself, and love who you are. Forget anyone else’s negative opinions and focus on the positive people in your life. No one needs the added stress anyway. Be happy and ignore opinions, they don’t mean anything anyway.
