Confident People Don’t Care (Much) About Other People’s Opinions Funnily enough, lack of self-confidence usually doesn’t come from believing that we’re not good enough, it comes from being afraid other people think we’re not good enough. We care too much about other people’s opinions — what they think of us, how they’ll speak about us, how we’re being perceived — and that chips away at our self-confidence. Highly confident people, on the other hand, don’t care much about the opinions of others. They aren’t bothered with trying to impress others. They don’t care much if someone thinks what they wear, say, or do is stupid. They’re busy being themselves. They’re unfuckwithable. Honestly, most people are way too occupied with what other people think. They waste so much time, effort, and mental peace trying to impress people who aren’t even worth impressing. Don’t live your life based on other people’s opinions. Stay true to yourself. Become unfuckwithable.

Several researchers tried this theory: They created two control groups of random people. One group was forced to be friendly and kind while the other one is free to defend their ideas more aggressively. The same problem was given to these two groups and the results were evaluated. After lots of repetitions, they found that the aggressive group found better ideas and solutions over and over. Technological improvement focuses on the same thing: finding the best solution to problems. Hence, I think we should be able to defend our ideas against each other until we find the best solution by using mathematical proofs or making experiments.
