How does one stop worrying about what others think of them? My therapist tells me not to care, i dont want to care yet i do. Is it self esteem? Is it living a life you are proud of? Things would be so much easier if there was a switch you could just turn off.

Also they say not to mind read. Part of being human i think is reading body language, facial expressions and the such. If you take everything at face value you would be in big trouble as sarcasm can only be read thru tone inflection and what not. The other day i was sitting in my car and a guy looked right at me, turned his head back forward and started laughing. I mean how can that be interpreted any other way than negatively?
