Caring too much about what others may think of us is a challenge that many of us deal with it at some point or even points in our lives. We all want to be accepted by our peers and we sometimes even let this determine how we live our lives, not realizing that when we live a life untrue to who we really are on the inside, we are living imprisoned in our own bodies. To live life and pursue happiness, we must first love ourselves, and part of loving yourself is being who you really are at your heart's level. When we dedicate our lives to only doing things that other people approve of, it denies of from the nurturing love we owe to ourselves, and delays our pursuit of happiness.
