What people think

Let's pretend that people see us in the same way we see them. In other words, we don't really care that much and they don't either. Any extra concern about how we are perceived and scrutinized comes entirely from us because we live inside our heads. It is mostly imagined.

When we are young we care about what others think, when in our middle years we don't care what they think. When we are older we finally realize that they never thought about us at all.

Live your life.
