Up until recently, I’ve spent my whole life worrying about what other people have thought about me. What they think about my looks, my behaviour, my efforts, or just me as a person in general. This has caused so much anxiety and depression, especially when I’m in public. It’s just not worth it.
Since graduating from high school, I’ve learnt that it doesn’t matter what people think about me, because the people I care about in my life are the only ones I should be thinking about. And I’m the only person who should be building my character. My personality shouldn’t be influenced by those who would judge me for being an authentic, happy person. So I’m giving up caring about what the world thinks about me, and just doing what I want and need for me to be happy and whole.
