It's better to give a sh*t on what other people think about you, although it's the nature of humans to want to please others.When you made it to discard this quirk you will feel relieved, it's just a long way to reach this point, nevertheless it's worthwhile to target a status where you're to be rid of what others think about you.

This sounds contradictory and I don't understand why that is so, but at the moment when it doesn't matter for a human what others think about him and his achievements they start to appreciate this human more during they didn't this when it was important to him.

Hmm, humans are strange creatures, but no matter why it is so, I can promise you that it is so, what's the reason why I hope you will test it and be successful by this.
