Ask yourself this question; "How many people did I walk past today?" (Guess of course :P) Depending on that number, figure out how many people you actually knew. Guaranteed, the number of people that you knew is less than 25% of all of the people you walked past. Based on this, ask yourself; "Who's opinion truly matters to me?" "Does anybody truly care what I am wearing, thinking, or doing?" "Who do I dress, eat, talk, act, and live for?" Now, let these questions go out of your mind. Realize that no one's opinion matters except your's. Do whatever you feel is necessary for you to feel happy. Life is not about how many people like you. Life is about what you do to contribute to the progress of the world as a community. Making big changes in the world, starts with making small differences in a person's life. Give a random person five dollars that you don't need, you may not know who may need it. (Only one please though.) When you are busy making these differences in life; you have no time to worry about someone else's opinion, and just maybe their opinion's will be all positive. (There are still some whose won't, but they're aren't doing anything too important except have negative opinions, so don't worry. :) )
