I guess i do care what others think of me.I would never go out in public without my hair done and my make up on. I'll be honest, i hate when someone hates me. I try to be perfect so everyone will like me. So, what about you guys?

Hmm...My answer?...Well...Here's a good example...The most recent occasion that someone tried to insult me:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's really a pretty normal response from me...Someone asks a question...Just answer it honestly, to the best of your ability...Unless you don't feel like it, you always have that option, too...No biggee...Why freak out?
And...That's how I am...
You can only be insulted, if you allow yourself to be insulted...
If someone has an opinion about me...That's their opinion, they're entitled to that...
If someone says something about me that isn't true...Well, why should I care? It isn't true...
If someone says something about me that IS true, and it's bad (in MY opinion), I have to decide whether I give a shit enough about it to change it...I usually don't...
I know me better than ANYONE else does...So, why should I give a shit about what someone who doesn't really know me, thinks about me?...Opinions based on misinformation, lack of information, or false assumptions are irrelevant...
Besides...Those who matter, don't mind...and those who mind, don't matter ~Dr. Seuss
I really only get defensive when someone attacks someone that I care about...And even then I don't get ridiculous...I just lay out the facts, and set the record straight...It's that simple...
I honestly don't understand why people get so angry, enraged and bent outta shape...Or even depressed just because of what someone else says or thinks...It just seems like such a huge waste of time, energy and emotion, and it's wasted on someone who doesn't deserve it, and who you owe nothing to...Why allow someone to get to you?...Why give them what they want?
Verbal fighting matches bore me anyway...I lose interest quickly...Then they're just left yelling at themselves...Which is actually kinda funny to watch...
As for fixing your hair and considering what you'd wear in public...You should do that based on what YOU think and what YOU like, no one else...Sure, I brush my hair and put clothes on when I leave the house...But, not because I'm afraid of what someone ELSE might think if I didn't...Only because
I wouldn't like it if I didn't...Does that make sense?
