I realised that what I was talking about was self acceptance. Much as Elfin mentioned, acceptance of ones thoughts, emotions experiences ect without placing the extra burden of judgment upon those experiences...

That is what has created the most significant change in my life in regards to this topic. It's not that I entirely stopped caring what others think. it is more that I accept myself with greater ease then ever before and that makes me less afraid or concerned of what others might think.
I'm honouring myself and my experiences through acceptance.

Right on!
