What people think about you, believe it or not has absolutely nothing to do with you, so bitch please mind your own business!
I truly am saying that in the nicest possible way. As humans we sometimes tend to take the opinions about ourselves from others straight to heart without processing whether it’s bullshit or not. Over time excessive exposure to opinions that are m0re than likely false, leads to us building a version of ourselves in which those opinions are now the center of our new being.
Which sucks to be honest…
It sucks to know that we can can be so easily convinced and manipulated but you’re going to hear me say/write this particular statement over a million times and that is - It’s all up to you. What you let get to you is up to you. Now before I continue on what I mean by that, there is a difference between someone giving their opinion and someone giving you constructive criticism.
When someone gives you their opinion on you/something you do, they are speaking from their level of perspective simply speaking their mind. It’s not wrong to give your opinion but you shouldn’t be concerned or be re-evaluating your whole life on their opinion. So, for instance if someone says, “You don’t look cute with your hair like that, you should switch it up” but you love it - “bitch fuck you, I’m cute ya feel me!”
When it comes to constructive criticism now, it is given in order for you to get from one step to the next. So, say you’re having a chat with a close family/friend or even if you’re at an audition and they say, “hey, it’s great that you do this, but try doing this and this, and this is reason why you should try it.” There’s always a reason behind it and the information that is provided is always to benefit you.
But, back to why I was putting all this on you ;) It’s really because you are not living for anybody else. So why the hell would you let someone else have that power over you. When you let the opinions of others dictate what you do, who really is in control of your life? Think on it.
Tip: If you find that you have friends/family that are constantly sticking their opinions of you and what you do down your throat and it’s not even close to being true - ELIMINATE THEM FROM YOUR LIFE or if you can’t, distance yourself.
