Personal Narrative: To Not Care

Improved Essays
To Not Care I’m one of those people who consistently worry about what other people think. I always need reminders and friends to reverse my unpleasant thoughts about myself. No matter what is going on in school, at home, at church, and even online I always obsess about it. I strive to look good; I even put makeup on just to get the mail at the other end of my driveway. Well I always wonder, “Why do I always do this?” “Why do I always worry?” and even “What can I do to not care?”
• Step one is to stop over thinking, because most of the time just because you feel like you’re being judged, you actually aren’t. It’s hard to just judge everyone you meet. That includes looking at their flaws and analyzing their imperfections like they are some

If you don’t obsess about others and what they’re thinking then you tend to look at the big picture like “You’ll only get one chance at life you know.” So don’t let other people’s minds make your day less enjoyable.

I’ve been there, and I still go back to visit. I always second-guess myself, take triple and quadruple check my makeup, shoes, clothes, and I usually end up in jeans and a t-shirt. However, I’d rather be in clothes that I’m comfortable and confident in than wearing a short dress with heels. People would see me and exclude me for wearing that because they can see my insecurities and they’ll recognize that my insecurity is trying to feel beautiful in clothes I’m not used to. Don’t ever pre-judge your own self, because others will be less likely to do the same. Smile, think of success, and break down your goals into small pieces.
• Step four; you can learn to control your emotions, because when you push your own limits you’ll get more and more confident in yourself, so you’ll probably get mixed emotions. Those emotions can be on any end of the spectrum, from heart filled stress, to happiness. It is a rollercoaster of your own mind, and that’s where controlling comes in! Be conscious of the emotions inside, don’t block them out. Blocking them out can be more detrimental to your soul than you could believe. If you observe it, then you can watch yourself separating from it completely so therefore it can no longer
