I can relate so much. I come from a long line of people pleasers although not as extreme as my mother is.
Not caring about what people think is so hard. I too was always told that I was sweet and nice, but because I am also very shy and submissive and quiet I have been gotten taken advantage of alot and had my feelings hurt alot.
I cant remember who said it on this thread already (typing on my phone so what I see is limited) but I think they were right in saying that because we have such a kind nature we tend to have our feelings hurt more often because we want to believe that other people can be just as nice, kind and honest as us, but then we end up being kicked in the face by the way they really are. I have an acquaintance that keeps telling me not to be fooled by the praises this certain group of people because they would be just as quick to break you down, which they have and did hurt.

Once you learn to love yourself I think the not caring part should come fairly easily. I encourage you full-heartedly though and hope you can find what you are looking for
