Why do we care so much about opinion of others ? How to overcome it?

We care about the opinions of others because as social creatures, our sense of self and identity is often shaped by the feedback and validation we receive from those around us.

The desire for acceptance and belonging is a natural and basic human need, and we often look to others to gauge our own worth and status.

However, excessive concern for the opinions of others can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, and a sense of disempowerment.

To overcome this, it's important to first recognize that other people's opinions are just that - opinions - and do not necessarily reflect the truth or reality.

Practice self-awareness and self-acceptance by focusing on your own values, beliefs, and goals rather than seeking external validation.

Surround yourself with supportive and positive people who uplift and encourage you, rather than those who are overly critical or negative.

Develop a growth mindset that focuses on personal development and improvement, rather than being limited by the opinions of others.

Learn to set healthy boundaries and prioritize your own well-being, rather than sacrificing your own needs and desires to please others.

Practice mindfulness and meditation to help quiet your inner critic and develop a more compassionate and non-judgmental attitude toward yourself and others.

Remember that ultimately, your own opinion of yourself is the most important one, and that you have the power to shape your own self-image and identity.
