    Like the wise Dr. Wayne Dyer said, "... be independent of the good opinion of others...." In other words, once you detach yourself from the opinion of others, whether is good or bad, you'll start living your life they way you're supposed to, your way. When you live your life expecting, consciously or not, a feedback from those around you, or caring what others might think about you, you're not living your own life anymore, but living for others.

    I'd like to think people think nice things about me, when they meet/see me. If not and they dont want to say anything about it... then screw em'. No skin off my nose!

    People are going to naturally put you into a category, thereby thinking of you. Because I'm usually the largest, most weirdest disgusting looking thing in the room, people have to look at yup a long time to categorize what it is you are. Female? Blob? I care about what those people may think and if they think I'm a human female or not.

    Because humans are a herd animal and no one wants to be left out of the herd.

    I love that!
    I'm stealing that if you don't mind :P

    I don't care which incidentally leads me to act unintentionally rude sometimes. I don't really care what other people think of me, but I do care about how my actions may affect them. I don't care to hurt others if possible.

    Wish I was self-confident enough to believe that it doesn' t matter.

    There's only a few people in my life who's opinions I truly value. If I'm cool with them then the other can SUCK IT!!!!!! People's opinions are subjective. Some think I'm an arrogant *kitten* while others see it as exuding confidence and being straight up.
    My wife thinks it's both so I'll go with her opinion.

    I think that what other people think of me is a reflection of how I present myself.
    If a total scummy idiot has something bad to say about me, I am happy because I would hate for them to think that I am on the same low level as them. But if a truly decent person says something negative about me, I might decide to adjust my behavior or whatever they are criticising.
    It's just another part of self-improvement
