Reason and experience should be complemented definitely, but what about the follow up of opinions and critics? Do we have the courage to do critics and.....self criticism??

Good god no i dont....i would have confidence at all if i did As the saying goes..."I dont care what you think of me...as long as you are thinking of me"
I really don't care what people say about me. It is their opinion and it is important to them. I am nobody's judge and jury. I am just me and intend on keeping it that way. Some won't like me, well, that is their option...but some will and that is all the better for me.
As long as i can look at myself in the mirror every morning and like what i see...i could care less what others think.I know who i am,the kind of person i am. I will listen to other peoples opinions,but i think a person can be harder on their self's,then outsiders.So i look at it this way,if you don't pay my light bill and your are not sleeping with me,then i could careless what you think.

Think about it for a moment, if you did not care what anyone thought of you, say for instance family, close friends, your children, or even employer, could that not also be seen as a lack of caring for others who care for you?

Agree, and it shows that one is not fitting into society very harmoniously if one is pissing 50% of it off !
'No smoke without fire' comes to mind. 'Do onto others....' is another.

Point taken,i wasn't referring to people in my life,those i care about what they think.Its the ones that judge that don't know me,that i was referring to. Morning V...

... so there has to be some sort of contentious reasons for things to be talked about.

When it comes to those I care about and those that care about me It does matter what they have to say and I can take constructive criticism. I was talking about those who are not close to me or I them.

I most certainly do not think what family or close friends think of me as nonsense whatsoever, whether I like what they have to say or not.
With regards to people I do not know, well hell no I simply dont give a damn. They mean nothing to me.

Hi DF and Faded, yes I know that is what you ladies were referring to. I just believe that very few people go through life not caring about what others think.
Those that judge based on little or nothing, well they too can go sling their hooks into fresh air.

Folk seem to assume that another's opinion is going to be negative...what does that say?
I take on board positive and negative opinions and assess them on their own merit.
To believe, or disbelieve every opinion without evaluation is foolish, especially as different people's opinions can be contradictory.
Perhaps what people mean, is that they don't let other's opinions affect their cognitions to the point where its detrimental.

I like your post. What people say about me is their opinion and nothing else. And you know what they say about opinions.
