...do you care about what others think of you?

i care too much for my own good :erm: its not healthy

this is a serious thread, by the way

I care far more in the professional world than I do in the personal one.

hm i care a bit, don't know if i care enough to let it bother me ? sometimes.

Why, to the the greatest extent

Person I pass on the street, not at all. Classmates/co-workers, a bit. Friends/family, enough to bother.

Why would you waste time caring about what other people think? I mean if people who really love you are worried because they think you're doing something to hurt yourself, then I'd say listen (like if they do a drug intervention or something for example), but otherwise what's the point?

its not something i consciously adhere to

I don't think it is usually. I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider what other people's perceptions of me are, but generally I make the strongest efforts to keep any considerations in perspective.

In terms of potential ridicule, not in the slightest, in terms of causing offence, a little unless they are being oversensitive dickheads.

I'm probably completely unsure as to my opinions on this subject. I know that it makes me sad if no one wants to hang out with me.

to the extent that they will be more receptive to my ideas and ideals in the interests of a better tomorrow for everyone.

The only time I really care is when I do something I feel is embarrassing in public, then it feels a bit overwhelming but I honestly think most of the time I put too much stock into that. I was an awkward adolescent and teen but I have grown into that and do not really feel the need to try hard to make myself seem the contrary.

i am overwhelmed each and every moment of every day, by worry of what others think of me.

now that has an admittedly lofty ring to it, but it can just as well boil down to simple things like agreeing on who should pick up the check (it's your turn btw).

if you're joking, you're an asshole.

its completely natural to worry

usually i dont, but sometimes with my friends i do worry if i feel like they second guess me on certain things.. i like to pretend like i dont care but certain things do get to me, and it can get annoying.

but with random strangers that i meet at a party, i usually dont give a fuck. unless im on an awkward high.

if you're joking, you're an asshole.unfortunately not, man. i worry all the time about everything... it makes every little thing the most horrible gutwrenching experience.

well, you're kind of like me then. rejoice!

I don't really care about how other people feel about my looks, I just hate it if they find me to be annoying.

i care more and more. now i actually make an effort to be nice, whereas without medication i used to just grunt occasionally.

around people i havent previously met, its worse. im pretty good at masking it though.

i only care if its someone i like/respect (or someone thats important for work reasons). otherwise, i really don't care.

check out glasgowkiss's sig at some point if you don't believe me - the time when i ruined my guitarist's birthday surprise.

i used to have major anxiety over what people thought about me. now i have major anxiety over my personal health and the health of my friends and family. i have super panic-hypochondriac attacks. i've ended up in the emergency room from them.
this is why i'm a huge pothead. it actually helps with my anxiety 95% of the time.

I care a little, if its something bizarre i want to do i dont care at all what people think of me for it, if i do something dumb when i should have known better it irks me.

i worry a lot about what my neighbors in my building think. i try not to make too much noise and it gets to me if i have people over who are noisy.

to a pitifully low extent, probably.

i can't pin down the exact degree in words, but i know it's an irrationally high extent

i don't know if that's such a bad thing though

i just always fuck up and draw the wrong conclusions

shyness seems to be a sort of self awareness that has just gone out of control. usually quite dull people are shy

and then there is the people who just lack much interest in social interaction. those people are more interesting generally. i'd put mayfuck in the shy category and smurfing in the latter
