No, I do not. I am what I am and I have no intention of changing just to please someone else, that would no longer be me.

because if they perceive me incorrectly they could kill me, beat me up....

how i project myself to others is more about survival than

wanting to be liked...

and theres risk even with giving an opinion...

Answer 4

Yes, I very much care about what others think about me. It's sort of that whole being accepted thing and feeling like you mean something to people. I've always wanted to be accepted by people for as long as I've been alive.

Answer 5

Although it is very easy to say that you don't care how others perceive you, truth is in our society it is very difficult to be a social outcast.  So in exchange for loneliness we do our best to stay within the limits of "normalcy" yet try to maintain our sense of uniqueness and individuality.  Everyone has seen the kid that no one talks to at school and nobody wants to be that person.  So we try to find groups that accept the majority of things that we are, for example: nerds, jocks, preppy's, emos etc so that we can still be comfortable being different because there are enough of us in that group that make us feel comfortable.  I don't really believe that there is anyone out there who doesn't at least think about what impression they are making.

Answer 6

Constantly worrying about others' perceptions and/or tirelessly trying to satisfy the preferences of everyone around one ultimately renders one's life utterly pointless.  One no longer belongs to oneself and loses that ounce of individuality that makes him/her truly unique.  He or she, instead, becomes a "slave" to sheep mentality.
