> My pdoc told me something like this: 1) When you are 20 you may be convinced that everyone is constantly evaluating you, 2) When you are 40 you may not care what others think about you (but still believe they are), and 3) At 60 you realize they weren't thinking much about you at all the entire time. The trick is to "realize" that sooner rather than later.
I was extraordinarily lucky, when at the tender age of 15, a friend told me the following: "You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought of you, if you realized how seldom they did."
