People Care A Lot Less About You Than You Think
…and how you can make a better impression on people.
Worrying about what people think is one of the most common problems in human behavior. A lot of self-help gurus suggest that you should not care about what others think of you. And, that is indeed great advice.
But the funny thing is that people care a lot less about you than you think. They care about themselves more.
People are more interested in themselves — their problems, happiness, relationships, health, work, looks, etc., etc.
Think about this: Suppose you are attending a party this evening. So you take a shower, you dress up, you fix your hair, you look your best self, and you go to the party. Why do you dress up well for special occasions like these? Yeah sure, you want to look good. But really, why? Because there are going to be other people and you want to make a better impression of yourself.
So basically, you want to look good for others.
But for a moment, think about it from their point-of-view. Aren’t they doing the same thing? They are also trying to make a better impression of themselves to others. So they dress well to attend the party as well.
