How I Stopped Caring About What Other People Think

<p>People are plagued by the fear of opinions.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s weird, right?</p> <p>Opinions aren&rsquo;t real.</p> <p>You can&rsquo;t feel them.</p> <p>You can&rsquo;t hear them.</p> <p>Yet you perceive that they exist.</p> <p>I used to be massively insecure about many things.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:433/1*Ed_EsANTEnpFxxHHRAVbWw.jpeg" style="height:612px; width:433px" /></p> <p>My height, even though I&rsquo;m tall.</p> <p>My face, even though I&rsquo;m handsome.</p> <p>My humour, even though I&rsquo;m funny.</p> <p>My intelligence, even though I&rsquo;m not totally dumb.</p> <p>You name it, I was insecure about it.</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>Because I couldn&rsquo;t stop comparing myself to others.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:480/1*OQkqRXdNk06c-92k7TWCYw.jpeg" style="height:360px; width:480px" /></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&rsquo;re not being fair.</p> <p>You can&rsquo;t see under the hood of the person you&rsquo;re comparing yourself to.</p> <p>You can&rsquo;t see the pain that they have to endure.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@godfreythegreat/how-i-stopped-caring-about-what-other-people-think-ed29e90cde04"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
