What others think Quotes

“What we think about others is what others think about US!”

“Honour, like insult, comes from others. It is their recognition of our worth. It is the intrusion of the social into the psychological, the public into the private. After all, others honour us for what they find of worth in us. ‘To pursue [honour],’ wrote Baruch Spinoza in Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect (1677), ‘we must direct our lives according to other men’s powers of understanding, fleeing what they commonly flee and seeking what they commonly seek.’ So what we come to think of as worthwhile in ourselves is bound to have as a large component what others think to be worthwhile in us.”

“Do what is best for you--no matter what others think.”

“What you think about yourself is more important than what others think about you.”

“Why should you care so much about what others think of you, than what you think about yourself?”

“Society sucks. It should not matter what others think, if we are fine with it. Still we both have to concern ourselves with what others might see and think.”

“We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed, or damps our efforts.”

“Belief in yourself is more important than endless worries of what others think of you. Value yourself and others will value you. Validation is best that comes from within.”

“It is of no consequence what others think of you. What matters is what you think of them. That is how you live your life.”
