[[Notes]] - Topics: [[Self-understanding]], [[Self-expression]] - People: [[Aileen Xu]] - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6on9NFROWYk --- ## Summary - "[[Be who you are and say what you feel, because in the end those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter]]". - "[[There's only 2 people in the world you need to impress - your 5 year old self, and your 80 year old self]]". - It is natural for everyone to judge. It is unnatural, but necessary to free yourself from the judgment of others; Opinions that stop you from becoming your best self. - [[The only time you need to change is when you don't feel like you've you're being your best self]]. ## Notes - Live for yourself and not others. - Don't take anything personally. - Love and embrace who you are. Know your worth. - Stop being paranoid. - Don't explain yourself (to everyone). - Misjudgments that hurt have a small element of truth to them; a truth that you believe in about yourself. Deconstruct to discover and explore that truth to learn more about yourself. - "You're not good enough", is a mentality that is solely within your control to have. Unconstructive criticism may sometimes come from a place of care rather than malice; even though it doesn't feel that way. - "[[At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what you think of yourself]]". - It is natural for everyone to judge. It is unnatural, but necessary to free yourself from the judgment of others; Opinions that stop you from becoming your best self. - [[The only time you need to change is when you don't feel like you've you're being your best self]]. - [[Strive for progress, not perfection]]. - Everyone is in a different point of their journey. Respect everyone and their journey. - Do not judge others because their story is different than yours. - Embrace your imperfection. - "[[There's only 2 people in the world you need to impress - your 5 year old self, and your 80 year old self]]". - "[[Be who you are and say what you feel, because in the end those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter]]". ## Original ![[How to stop caring what other people think of you-1.jpg]] ![[How to stop caring what other people think of you-2.jpg]]
