Re: How do you not care what anyone thinks of you?

I have definitely felt similarly. I am a fellow abnormal, though I do tend to blend pretty well. But yeah, it's really hard when you're just a little off from everyone around you and it makes you feel like something's wrong. But nothing's wrong, it's just who you are. And people try and "help" by telling you no, you're not different or that you just need to try a little harder or whatever. I think differently and the things I want and care about are not mainstream. And yeah it kind of sucks sometimes, but it's who I am.

Idk about your parents, but mine definitely didn't care about what we did as long as we were happy. But I still always felt like I was the failure of all my siblings. 3 of them are really successful (both rank and monetarily) and the other has a bunch of kids and my parents love grandchildren. I'm just here....existing. And I still struggle with that one, but I have to just mantra the negative thoughts out and trust my parents word (they are no longer alive, so...).

I think ultimately not caring what others think comes down to being comfortable with yourself, and time. I used to be really self conscious about how fundamentally different I am, but I've reached the point in my life where I am who I am and it's not gonna change and I don't want to change. I also hit a certain age and kind of just found myself with this "fuck it" attitude. It's been really freeing.

I'm sorry you're struggling and about the job loss. I hope you can find a path that brings you happiness.
