Honestly, I didn't like your title. I came in here to read what you wrote, because we're taught we always need to care how we're perceived. But I think that gets lost in translation.

We should try to be the best we can be, so we perceive ourselves well first and foremost, and most likely, so will others.

...after reading your post, which is very inspiring and true... I do agree with you. Sometimes we need these things to be said to remind us where we should be focusing our energy.

Very nice!

I think I'd suggest a title of:

"Don't make what other people think of you, your principal business. It's wasted energy"

But alas, as you said, don't care what I think. You're doing well on your own. :)

Thanks for making this post. It's stuff like this I read on steemit that make everything I do on here worthwhile.
