by observing the thoughts dispassionately, and not thinking of them as "you." realize that you are the observer of the thoughts primarily, and that the identity created by thoughts is transitory and illusory

If you are happy about what you are doing and your not hurting anyone it doesn't really matter what other people think. I watched this grown man with his whole family around him freaking out and standing up and dancing at a led zeppelin cover band (who were actually really good)last night. He shouldn't give a fuck, he was having fun and that is all that matters.

Just be yourself. It takes mental discipline and perseverance to not let rejection or judgement "get to you." But if someone DOES judge you, especially without knowing you, it is important for you to recognize this as their ignorance of you, as opposed to let it define you. No one knows you better than yourself.

OP, the only reason you can't hold on to that feeling of not caring what people think is because somewhere deep down you still think it matters what they think. It's just like anything else that becomes truth in your mind. Once something becomes truth in your mind then the rest of you will behave accordingly.
I don't know that you can do anything to make yourself not care besides really not care. I outgrew caring. I still catch myself every so often but it's rare these days. I embrace my own weirdness as well as that of the people I hang with. Which is another thing, the people you're around. Some people may just have that effect on you. I would poison them or cut their brake lines.
Peace!

the first question you have to ask yourself:
why do you care what others think?
answer: I don't

for speaking in front of others, a small amount of any strong booze will help, not enough to get you drunk, just to take that inhibition edge off.
as for not caring about what others think, I naturally just assume that the opinion of people who aren't important to me is not valued, also if they don't know me they can think whatever the fuck they want if that makes them happy. I'm happy with my life and my choices, I don't feel I have unresolved issues so if others do that is pretty much their problem.

Agreed, You shouldn't be judgmental of yourself because that's the root of the problem.
Do what you like and don't judge others or yourself and then you wont have to worry about what others think. Because really, your worries of what other people think are just projections of your own judgements you place upon yourself.

not giving a fuck is a weird art to master. its extremely easy. yet most find it extremely hard. by making this thread, you took a step backwards. and besides, why do you give a fuck what i think?
