Care About What Other People Think And You Will Always Be Their Prisoner - Lao Tzu

By: fadzli

Written on February 1st, 2013

Some people are always afraid that they would offend others and tried so hard to please others by behaving in a way which is not in-line with their true nature. The truth is; no matter how hard we try, we can never please everybody because we can never control what other people are thinking. Just because people don't like us, it doesn't necessary mean there's something wrong with us. We live in different realities and have different ways of seeing things. What others perceive as good to them is not necessary perceived as good to us and vice-versa. It's just a matter of perception. Let them be them and let you be you. Just let it go and you'll be freed from all the invisible restrictions that limit you from being true to yourself.

I struggle with this a lot. I like to be liked and often find myself behaving in ways other than how I naturally would. I have a hard time telling people what I really think and feel.

You are wise- I'll admit, this is me. I worry so much about what people will say. I moved back to my small hometown 11 years ago & got stuck here- not the dream I had envisioned, but it is what it is. I worry about all the "couple" friends we have that all grew up here too, I worry about what it would do to my kids relationships (in the eyes of the parents).. and I know I'll never leave now with the kids in school, I feel stuck, it's my problem, my worry- but if I would just not care about "those" people & have faith... it would all come together. I'm a wuss.

  The past had become history and nothing can be done about it. It's not entirely your fault. Sometime the environment is too much for us to take-on. We're human after all. Just let it go, be content with yourself and try to avoid things that give you bad vibe.
