If I sat around worried about what others think of me I'd probably never leave home. Of course, I won't do inappropriate things (well, not much
) but I am going to have a good time.
My wife, on the other hand, worries about what people think of her. She won't dance much because she's afraid people will laugh at her and she mopes around parties when I am off enjoyiong myself. She's her own worst enemy with this and then I get blamed because I wasn't there for her.
She tells me that she doesn't have the confidence I have. I told her it is not confidence, it simply is not giving a s&^% about what other people think.

I care but not to the point of losing sleep over it. We can't live our lives to appease others, of course.
What coworkers and supervisors think of you can make or break a career. What friends think of you can determine if you have any. So yes, I care.

Of course, I care. If you are in business, you better care. If you work for someone else, you better care.
But caring what people think of me and doing things just to please them regardless of the situation are 2 different things.
It is a natural human trait to want to be liked. There is nothing wrong with that. Also, there is business protocol that most people think is professional. Most humans follow that protocol to some extent in each society...because of their natural desire to fit in somewhere.
There are very few exceptions, but I would guess that even most people that don't think they care what people think deep down really do. It's just not as obvious.

Why do you care what she thinks?
Some people are shy around others. I don't think it is as simple as caring about what others think.
Honestly I try to treat everyone the way I like to be treated and at the same time be who I am. If you like me that's great if you don't that's cool too I don't stress it either way
If I'm dealing with a customer, sure I care. Referrals are an integral part of everyone's business. Do I care what my peers think? Yes and No.
Gosh -- I love you folks, from the bottom of my heart :yoluv:

It depends on the situation.
I find it that the older I get, the less I care.
Explains why most 80 year olds tell it like it is!

On some level the answer has got to be yes for the most part.... we wouldn't be human if we didn't care what others thought of us.... for me it would depend on the situation..... for example doing or not doing a Gay wedding... for me I would do it and wouldn't really care what others thought of the morality of gay marriage.

I'll further that by saying my Ex is just like that... she has no problem singing karaoke with me at home but, out live forget about it.
The amount I care depends on the person. There are plenty of people in life that you better care what they think: wife, kids, physician, etc. There are plenty of people that you can outright not care at all: the drunk at the bar, the ex, etc.
I find that sometimes I don't care what people think but sometimes what they said tends to stick with me. I figure that if I shouldn't care but I do, it's probably something deep inside telling me that there is a reason why.
