You have to be your own person. You can't let people's opinions determine how you think about yourself. There's a difference between identity and self-identity.
When we are truly confident and secure, the opinions of others cannot control us.
Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.
One time I tried bangs, and people just weren't feeling it at all, but it's my hair. It's my unicorn mane, and it's definitely very important to me. It's also my body, and so I don't really care about other people's opinion of it.
Real freedom is freedom from the opinions of others. Above all, freedom from your opinions about yourself.
I don't take much stock in other people's opinions if I think something's good.
I don't fixate on other people's opinions of my body.
Why should we build our happiness on the opinons of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
I care what people think, but that doesn't change what I say. I am who I am.
My confidence was more of a fake-it-until-you-make-it kind of thing. I tried to build my own confidence and not rely on the opinions of others.
I'm not going to change the way people think about me, but I can say you know what? I'm not going to carry that in my backpack.
