I used to walk down the street thinking that everyone was judging me. Then, I realized that that’s just not true. I realized that I don’t judge everyone that walks past me, and even if someone is doing something really weird as I walk by, I usually forget about them like 20 minutes later.
We tend to think that the world revolves around us. Not in the “It’s all about me” way, but in the “Everyone is paying attention to me” way, which can be just as presumptuous. In reality, most people don’t care about what you are doing as much as you think. I see that as a positive thing rather than a negative thing.
Realizing that most people don’t care as much as you think they do frees you to try new things. For me, it freed me to start making videos like these and sharing my thoughts.
Just because most people don’t care about what you are doing doesn’t mean that no one does. The ones that care fall into two camps, the negative and the positive. The former mostly deserve to be ignored, what you’re doing isn’t for them. Now the latter, the people who resonate with what you’re doing, they’re the ones who you can change and who can change you. Listen to them, learn from them, seek to serve them.
