Random people I don't know or care about, no.
The people I care about, yes.

Everyone else I'm pretty much neutral on. Don't really worry about what you think but I'm not an a-hole about it till you force me to be.

I'm nice to people I meet not because I want them to like me, but because it's the morally correct thing to do.

I don't care what others think about me, I care about how they treat me. I'm all about my respeck, homie...

It is much safer to be feared than loved because ...love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.

Only my children. My wife doesn’t care about me and I don’t lose sleep over it.

Not really.

I’m independently wealthy and almost retired so it does not matter what anyone thinks of me.

I “care” about some people, but their thoughts belong to them as mine belong to me.

I don’t care what people think about my thoughts, philosophies, or ideologies; I do care what people think about my words and actions.

In my opinion, if you concern yourself with the former, you’re a coward. In my opinion, if you don’t concern yourself with the latter, you’re a self absorbed child.

The older you get, the less you'll care, with the exception of friends, family etc.

2019-2020 I was the victim of an unbelievable smear campaign. I learned all about human malevolence, reputation destruction and flying monkeys. I am now impervious to the opinions of others.

I do but I accept the fact that some people simply will not like me. I wish everyone did but that will never happen

but not here for that very reason

Yes you do care; everyone does. “I don’t care what other people think” is the most often told lie


It’s also internally inconsistent. If one really doesn’t care what others think about him, then he wouldn’t even be able to answer that question. In other words, forming and stating that one doesn’t care what others think about him requires considering others’ thoughts about him and the effect it has on him.

It’s indeed an inherent act of self-deceit to say otherwise.

Well, you’re a woman, it’s harder for you. Women have 100X the social pressure. It’s way easier for men to not give a frick.

It's none of my business what people think about me.

Nope. Never have never will. Chest doesn't apologize to anyone. Will admit when I'm wrong.
