3 healthier alternatives to “I don’t care what people think.”
from How to Be Good to Yourself When You're Hard on Yourself · host Ellen Hendriksen
The cultural mantra “don’t care what people think” is meant to be freeing, but it can actually keep us tied to the very audience we’re trying to escape. In this episode, we explore why “don’t care what people think” is more armor than liberation, and offer three better questions to guide us: Did I act with integrity? Did I try? Did I learn? If you’re tired of replaying conversations and managing impressions, test out these three alternatives to ask, “But what did I think?” This is a public episode.
