How I Stopped Caring About What Other People Think
<p>People are plagued by the fear of opinions.</p>
<p>It’s weird, right?</p>
<p>Opinions aren’t real.</p>
<p>You can’t feel them.</p>
<p>You can’t hear them.</p>
<p>Yet you perceive that they exist.</p>
<p>I used to be massively insecure about many things.</p>

<p>My height, even though I’m tall.</p>
<p>My face, even though I’m handsome.</p>
<p>My humour, even though I’m funny.</p>
<p>My intelligence, even though I’m not totally dumb.</p>
<p>You name it, I was insecure about it.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because I couldn’t stop comparing myself to others.</p>

<p>And this, my friend, is a trap.</p>
<p>They say comparison is the thief of joy, and I tend to agree.</p>
<p>When you compare yourself to others, you’re not being fair.</p>
<p>You can’t see under the hood of the person you’re comparing yourself to.</p>
<p>You can’t see the pain that they have to endure.</p>
