How much do you care what others think?

I would say I cared a lot up until this year, my sophomore year of college. Now I have a close group of friends and I know they like me, so I don’t feel the need to try to be well-liked around people who I don’t know. It’s allowed me to do what I want and be who I want to be even more (although all last year I was beginning to discover that).

Also, second semester of freshman year I broke both my arms, leaving me unable to do many things. I could only hold my arms at certain positions from my body, so I could only wear large T-shirts and yoga pants (I couldn’t zip jeans, for example). I looked like a bum a lot of the time and there was nothing I could do about it…when you’re in that situation for eight weeks you kind of learn how not to care about what others think.
