It's natural to be concerned about what others think of you, worrying about it too much can leave you feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and make it hard for you to be yourself. Here're some self-improvement tips for you that can help cope with caring what other people think of you.
1. Build up your self-confidence. Make a list of your strengths and accomplishments. Realizing that your self-worth comes from within is an important part of learning not to care what others think. One way to boost your confidence and get a better sense of your self-worth is to list positive things about yourself.
2. Specify what you're worried about. Fears about what other people think of you can feel unmanageable if they're big and vague. Try to hone in on what it is that you're really worried about. This will not only help your anxieties feel less overwhelming, but will also get you closer to developing a strategy for dealing with them.
3. Listen to criticism with an open mind. Criticism is often painful, but you may find it easier to deal with if you think of it as an opportunity for growth and improvement rather than something hurtful or discouraging. If someone says something critical to you, listen actively before you get defensive. You may actually find what they have to say helpful.
