It’s just something you have no control over.

Often, we as humans find ourselves concerned about what other people think of us. I find myself guilty of this regularly, even though I know I shouldn't be. Caring about what others think will put a stop to a lot of things that you may want to do because you will get so hung up in caring about the image you are putting off. 

When you find yourself worrying about how other people view you, I want you to remember that you have no control over how they view you.

What this means is that no matter what you do some people will judge you. It's just something that you have no control over, so why would you stress about it. 

Live your best life no matter what people think. It's your life, not theirs. The only person whose opinion matters about your life, is yours.
