Question: Do you care what others think about you? Are you happy with your decision ?

Diana Duarte

“I used to care about what others think of me, but then with the pass of time and experiences I’ve changed my mind and I’ve understood that you are not here to make everyone happy. You just have to be yourself and do whatever makes you happy, and that has made me come to be more confident about myself, and I’m happy with not caring about what others think because there is always gonna be someone that doesn’t agree with what you like or whatever you do so just be yourself.”

Joshua Preciado

“If it’s like for friends or other people in school you don’t really worry about them because they are going to become irrelevant so it’s like ‘I don’t care about you bye.’ Why live in the thought of what others care about you just keep doing you and forget about what everyone…you think that everyone is worrying about you like caring about you but everyone’s just caring about themselves and their like too hard about themselves to even care about you , yeah so it’s like they are not going to care about me when they’re worrying about themselves so it’s like it doesn’t really matter.”

Citlali Perez

“I feel like I kinda do care just that I try to pretend like I don’t; so not to give others the pleasure of seeing me care about their opinions because in the end it’s whatever I want to do, and that should make me happy. If I allow others’ opinions affect what I do I won’t be happy because I won’t be doing what I like. You get to a time when you start seeing how others’ opinions don’t really matter and how if we keep reminding others how things affect you…you start noticing things and it’s better to ignore.”

Mr. D’Agostino

“I’m always considering what people think and I think it helps me make really good choices in life. I’m not just doing things for me and being selfish I’m doing things because other people are affected by them. There were moments in my life specifically in college when I remember not caring at all what people thought and I think that I was an unhappier person. I think that I lacked purpose. I lacked.”
