6 Clear Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Care What Others Think

人生苦短，不要太在意别人的看法

It is human nature to want to be liked and accepted. However, this often leads to people worrying too much about what others are thinking about them.

人的天性就是想要得到别人的喜欢，想要被人接受。但是，这点会让人顾虑太多。

Here are 6 reasons why you should not care about what others think:

这里整理了你不应该太在意别人看法的6个原因：

1.It’s Not Their Life, So It’s None Of Their Business

这是你的生活，与他人无关

People are entitled to think whatever they want, just as you are entitled to think what you want. What people think of you cannot change who you are , unless you allow them to.

人都有权利去思考他想要的东西，就像你也有权利想要得到你想要的东西一样。别人所想的内容不能改变你，除非你自己允许这样的事情发生。

2.They Don’t Know What’s Best For You

别人都不如你自己了解自己

Nobody will ever be as invested in your life as you. Only you know what is best for you, and that entails learning from your own choices. The only way you will ever truly learn is through making your own decisions, taking full responsibility for them, and that way if you do fail, at least you can learn from it wholeheartedly, as opposed to blaming somebody else.

没人会像你一样投资于你自己，只有你知道什么对你是最好的，需要学习些什么也是你自己的选择。真正的学习也只有你自己才能决定，为此承担起全部的责任，要是失败了，至少你还能全心全意地从中吸取经验，而不是一味的责怪别人。

3.It Will Keep You From Your Dreams

在意别人的想法会让你离自己的梦想越来越远

If you are constantly worried about what other people think, you will never get to where you need to go in life. You are going to have to do things that don’t always meet people’s standards. If you are constantly worried about what people are thinking, you will never have the will to do what’s right.

如果你一直在意别人的想法，你就没法到达你想要去的地方。你要做的事情不能总达到别人心里的标准。如果你一直在意别人心里的想法，你将永远不会有做对了的事。

4.Life Is Simply Too Short

生命太过短暂

You only have one life to live, so why would you spend it worrying about other people’s opinions? Do whatever you want, be whoever you want. You’re not going to see these people after you’re dead. You probably won’t even see them in a year from now. Live your life without worrying about other people’s thoughts and opinion.

你只能活一次，那么为何你还要将你的生命用来在意别人的想法呢？做你想做的事，做你想做的人。你死后不会再见到这些人，也许一两年之后就再也见不到这些人了。过好你自己的生活，不要在意别人的想法和意见。

5.You Reap What You Sow

种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆

Frequently, people indulge their need to be liked so much so that it actually dictates to the way they behave. Some become people-pleasers or so submissive that many people are turned off. The behavior you use as an attempt to ensure you are liked may actually cause you to be disliked.

通常来说，人们放纵他们自己的需要以至于产生这样那样的行为。有些人变成取悦别人或者是顺从于别人的人。用这样的方式是想要得到别人的喜欢，但是实际上可能是会让别人更讨厌你。

6.The Hard Truth: It’s Impossible To Please Everybody

事实是：你不可能是所有人满意

You can’t please all of the people all of the time. It is impossible to live up to everyone’s expectations so there is no point in burning yourself out trying to do so. Just make sure that one of the people you please is yourself!

你不可能做到让所有人都满意。满足每个人的期望几乎是不可能的，所以没必要这样消耗你自己。只要能让你自己开心就好。
