How do I care less of what people think of me?

[Jasmine]

I'm very sensitive in general. Ie. someone deletes me on facebook, or even twitter.. makes me wonder about it for days on end. Same goes at my work place, if someone mentions my name; I tense up. It's really eating me up, and I know it's trivial.

Please offer some insight.. thank you.

I used to go through the same things, whatever any advice anyone gives you is easy to say but harder to do. just try to keep your mind occupied with other thoughts. instead of trying to not worry about it, which is basically thinking about it, just think about something else like your goals, hobbies, a tv show or movie or anything you like to do. and always smile!

Take an assertiveness course.

Take a self-esteem course.

If you let other people define you, if you let other people tell you who you are, you will also believe them.

Nobody can make you feel bad about yourself without your permission.
