In the midst of your superfluous thoughts, their blabbing irritates every particle of your being. I find it not surprising in the least when someone cares what others think. However, I don't comprehend what could possibly drive them to actually give a crap about what the masses of personally unimportant people think.

It is one thing to have a close circle of trusted friends whose opinions may be valuable to you. It is a totally different thing to take into account every measly, grimy, meaningless word of the people whom you care not to impress (not that you should be attempting to impress anyone in the first place, but that's another story). The disgustingly insignificant words of those who are not worth your time should be ignored as well.

If someone cultivates a dislike for you, disregard them. If someone irks you, do not hesitate in telling them what you think of them. Honesty is a virtue and those who say there is such a thing as too much honesty may be right, but that's a sacrifice they must be willing to deal with if they want any honesty at all.

So, do I care if you hate me? No. Do I care if you think my outfit is hideous? No. To those who spend too much of their energy disliking people, you're wasting your life pathetically. Don't like someone? Okay, just ignore them and if they attempt to integrate themselves into your life, give them a piece of your mind.

Be who you want because...........haters gonna hate.
