Notes
“You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.” — Anonymous
People are always concerned about what others will say about them. Let’s be honest; nobody wants to be talked about, no matter how thick of a skin you have.
Even famous people are told never to read their performance critiques (because it messes with their mind and can shake their confidence.) In reality, not everyone is always thinking about us. It may seem like that internet troll is always multiplying, but that isn’t the majority.
We tend to think as if people are thinking about us much more than they are. Speaking for myself, I have come to realize that people have too much of their stuff to deal with to continually focus on you or me.
People will think what they will, and there is nothing you can do about it. So why even be concerned?
To sum it up; “What other people think about me is none of my business.”

2. Watched all the Netflix Dave Chappelle comedy specials - I don’t know what made me binge his specials but I now see why he gets all the hype. Chappelle is my new favorite comedian.
