Question

how...

how could you deny the feelings?

Answer 1

I was going to answer your question but I dont care what you think of my opinion.

Answer 2

Personally, I think it does matter what other people think of you. It's a good thing to develop qualities that make you a good person and as a bi-product of that, other people admire you. Qualities like honesty, integrity, a good work ethic, loyalty to friends, love for your family etc. It's usually people who are jealous of you and your standards that you needn't worry about.

Answer 3

The more comfortable you are with yourself, the easier it gets. I used to be really self concious and would freak out when someone said something about me. But now I could care less. I mean yeah, there are a few things I'm still sensitive about, but I let it go.

Answer 4

First, figure out if they are right.  Constructive criticism is valuable, to a point.

Then, decide if it's any of their business.  Most of the time, the answer is No.

Then ignore them.
