I am trying not to care.

For many years I've seen myself through others eyes. Saw what they saw in me, thought what they thought of me. Recently I thought I'd kicked the habit, but it is hard to stop doing something you've done your whole life. I am trying not to care.

It's hard to live for yourself when you don't know what you want. At least I know I already have everything I need.

I can relate. I have this horrible thing about me where I don't want people to hate me. This is a real problem, because it forces you to be nice, even when you are furious. So afraid people aren't going to like me anymore. Even now, though I'm a bit more of a "fuck you" attitude, I still don't push the limits when people are offended by me, because I don't want to be hated.

I don't care if people hate me, I can accept that NOW.

I just don't like offending people, it makes me feel bad, even if it's a person I don't care about. I must learn not to care for they do not care when they offend me.

Who or what are you trying not to care about?

the thoughts of others. It's alright to care, but they should not outweigh your thoughts for yourself.
