How to Care Less : Stop Worrying About What Others Think

Stop Worrying About What Others ThinkWhy Do We Care So Much? At some point or another, we've all worried about what someone else is going to think of something we do or say. It's natural, and in part, it stems from our "lizard brain"-that part of the brain we all have that is primitive and is there to keep us safe. We don't want to make a mistake that gets us in trouble with other people. We don't want to say something that offends.
We would rather "take flight" and avoid doing anything risky, than "fight" by saying or acting how we actually feel. The problem is. many people live their lives solely based on what other people might think if they do or say something. They may not even know what others are thinking-they might just assume they know. Unfortunately, this means they are sitting on the sidelines with their dreams and desires, fearing to take action lest someone take offense or think they are ridiculous. This is the truth of the matter though.
we can't read other people's minds, even though we convince ourselves that we can.
