You care what others think about you.

In regards to the Halloween party, I just plain wouldn't go, but I won't be a poor sport.

In all honesty, if it was the best costume, I would continue to wear it, or a majority of it. I would have to take the mask and gloves off if those are involved.

It's funny you bring up these 2 scenarios, because my parents throw a Halloween party every year, and I don't dress up if I am not going to be comfortable with my costume. One time I was Snoop Dogg, I was painted black from head to toe, wore a do-rag, even bought a weighted gun just to have that feel as it was tucked in my belt. Almost everyone I came across thought I was really black.

And the dressing up for the job thing, I am doing that just now. I spent 120 bucks on a new dress belt, 2 shirts and 2 pairs of khakis that I will NEVER wear again, but the training part required "business casual". I did state that there are times when you must bend to the perceptions of others, or else you will go through life as a hobo.


EDIT: The weighted gun was a pellet gun, not a real one. But it almost weighed as much as a real gun.

EDIT 2: I also wanted to have cornrows to complete the look, but I didn't get them... I stayed dressed up though, because it was a bitch to wash all the coloring off...

everyone cares what people say about them. you can't meet a person that doesnt. and if anyone posts here saying they dont is completely lying. Everyone can be broken down given enough critism about their look, speak, personality, attitude, lack there of. Some of us get alot more critism then others, so that those who dont recieve much feel like they dont care what people think.

Do you goto a job interview wearing the most god awful clothing combinations? I doubt it. Caring what an employer thinks of you is being self-conscious imo.

i think its more because people know if they looked like crap they wouldnt get the job, the employer sets that standard you just have to follow it. If more employers cared less that you wore slacks and a button up, and more about how you reacted to questions and how you held yourself durring hte interview, more people would wear clothes that make them feel comfortable.

(out of subject) you fucking owned her
(back to subject)

Honestly, I would care on the situation.

For example, if i'm hangin' around a few friends of mine, then i wouldn't really care, since they wouldn't judge me on looks.

Ofcourse if a person which i have no idea who he/she is (preferably a chick) sees me in a badly dressed form (or looks) i'd be uncomfortable.
Basically i'd care about what people think about me, IF i'm being judged by them in a negative way towards how i look.

Completely biased.

Only individuals that feel strongly about themselves do not truly care what other people think. These people are rare indeed, because to be successful in life, one must have a mix of not caring about others' opinions (who do not matter in life), but yet dressing to an extent (for example) as to give others good first impressions. A complicated subject express.

give me 1 example of someone that is feels so strongly about themselves that they feel nothing when people mock, point, laugh, hurt, physically abuse onesself.

There is no one. If someone can maje it through life without caring what other people thought of them, they would be the biggest pieces of shit.

Think about it, they would have no class, no manners, no personality, no morals, no respect, no nothing. It all ties in with caring about what others think.

Do you think you would have any class if you didn't have to in most occasions? If you were at a dinner party with your boss's family and you didn't care what they thought, you would show up wearing rags and eat like disrespectful asshole.

Would you respect others if you didn't have to? Or would you treat others like they mean nothing to you, and change like the wind?

The answer is No, you wouldn't. Because you wouldn't care what others thought. You would be.. a piece of shit.

When I first met my USA Coaches, I wore a light blue dress shirt with a red tie, and khaki dockers with dress shoes and my shirt tucked in. I cared what they would think, and I value first, second, third, and last impressions. Everybody cares what others think, in one way or another. If you claim you don't, you're full of shit. If you actually dont, then you clearly have no goals whatsoever in life.
