Yessssss, especially to the first one!! So much yes!!!

Not only is it none of your business what others think of you but even better, you don't have to care. Not at all. Not one bit. The best thing about getting older and becoming more secure in yourself is the realization that you simply don't have to give one single f@#k about what anyone thinks. Don't like me? Don't care! It's the most freeing feeling ever! Chat Icon Chat Icon

While we shouldn't care what other people think about us, I DO think it is good to know so you don't get too deep in relationships with them and you can get hurt. Sometimes you just can't read someone until it is too late.

Another favorite bit of advice that I always try to remember................

"Reset, readjust, restart, refocus. As many times as you need to."

In other words, never give up and pivot when you need to. Chat Icon

"Dance like no one is watching, because they're not. They're checking their phone." Chat Icon

Which I take to mean just live your life, non cares, no one really thinks about you the way you are thinking about you. If that makes sense. Also was a sentiment on an episode of Schitt's Creek which I loved!

ETA: A few others... (I have a book where I write down quotes and lyrics and lines from books that I like...)

"Never argue with an idiot, people watching might not know the difference."

"Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain the grows flowers, not thunder."

"Old ways won't open new doors."

"Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't."

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn."

"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."

"Comparison is the thief of joy."

"The expert in anything was once a beginner."

"Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can." or "Talk to yourself the way you would someone you love."

And one of my absolute favorites from Shel Silverstein....

"Listen to the mustn'ts child, listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me.. anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
