What do others think?!

Noah Kagan, from AppSumo, once tweeted:

Don’t let yourself become paralysed by the fear of what others think. In reality, they’re not even thinking about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves.

It reminded me of a recent conversation I had with my 13-y.o. I was trying to instill this in him, but then remembered, when I was in my teens, all I wanted was to belong and be accepted.

Of course, I needed to care about what others thought!

I wonder when in life -some- stop caring about what others think.

I guess it’s a good reminder to keep around, for once in a while you may catch yourself depriving yourself of something for the fear of “what others may think”.
