How Do You Stop Caring What People Think

Namaste,

I am looking to increase my psychic abilities and intuition to connect more with higher realms and myself.
I am 21 and I love meditation, yoga, and mindfulness but I'm looking to advance in my spirituality more.. feel lighter & more connected to the deeper world around us.

I'm wondering how to stop caring so much what people think...
Sometimes I pick up people's emotions too much & then carry them as my own.
Empath possibly?

Anyways, I'm looking to connect & make some new friends!
Share anything you would like :)

Thank you so much,
Blessings,

Nicole

Is it necessary to stop caring what people think? I tend to value what people think because, like me, they're living spiritual entities (even if in many cases they haven't woken up to their spirituality yet). But that doesn't mean that I act or respond emotionally to what they think of me or what I'm doing.

In part, that's because I know that in order to survive I position myself as a hypocrite. My work often involves marketing which in turn involves tinkering with people's minds to persuade them to engage (to buy things, say). Most people don't know what's going on. They're just puppets. But of course, this is against my higher principles. So I have to bear a certain guilt of not being true to myself. In another instance, I played music at a wedding recently (before the lockdown) while disapproving of this "big day" stuff which is a commercial enterprise, sucking vast amounts of money from a couple for a public show to legitimise their sharing a bed which they'e usually already done anyway. I still took my £250.

But without such things I'd starve and be unable to pay my bills. So it's always a bit of a compromise - and if people question my adherence to higher principles... they're probably right but I can't afford to care. In other respects (e.g., interacting with individuals) higher principles apply.

Hello Nicole,

I am a big fan of Sahaja yoga. I practice the last exercise at this link for 20 minutes each day.
http://www.telepathyacademy.net/exer...win_flame.html

As far as what other people think, and feel, is concerned, I like to learn from them more so than let their energies influence me. For me telepathy with them is a shared experience. How they choose to react and respond to a situation or circumstance does not represent my choices. So I make that distinction.

When negative energies are directed at me I want to appreciate that state of mind which originated those thoughts. It can be hard on my body sometimes when I get involved with high degrees of intense energy like resentment. However I am divine guided to go with the flow on that and respond kindly to what my physical body does with those energies.

The principal is that people's thoughts and emotions are their choice of creation. My experience of that energy does not need to replicate it. The how to transform and/or elevate it is an exercise in learning at this point with me.

John

Well, it helps to remember that you have no idea what they are actually thinking. What you are caring about is what you think they might be thinking, usually about you.
Then perhaps remember that you have no real control over what they are going to think. First because you don't know what they are currently thinking, and because what they are going to think, has far far more to do with them, their own ego, their view of the world, then anything you might do to influence them. Each individual is a world unto themselves, complete with their own history and biases and prejudices that have been created by themselves and their past experiences. You are just one more bit of information that will be evaluated against all the rest, all of which you don't know about or have any control over.
Refocus your thoughts and efforts on who you want to show to the world, and then let the chips fall where they may, as you can't control them anyway.
Focus on becoming and being who you want to be and who you will respect. That way at the end of the day, at least you will have a friend that respects and understands you..... somewhat anyway.

I think it depends on which opinions have to be valued. Sometimes, people give advice and comments that are not worth listening to. But it is sometimes important to care about what people think, depending on who's speaking and their relationship to you.

You are picking up on others Feelings because you are an Empath. it makes no difference what others think of you as long as you are true to yourself.



Namaste

I'm a HSP, correct me if I am wrong but I think she's talking about when you worry about what others think and it shuts down your own inner voice. This isn't good because you make decisions based on what other's think about you. While we are all spiritual beings we must be able to trust our own inner voice. That's the spirit whispering to you.

I suffer from this too. I've gotten better but I'm a sensitive so,I still deal with this from time to time. So, this I what I do...I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but try. If it's from someone who possess light like we do. Then it's okay to care. But if it's from darkened spirits you have to know they don't have your interest at heart and if you give them energy you're doing a disservice to yourself. Try this and let me know if it works for you!

For me it's having complete confidence in myself. Trust in my intuition. Knowing that the answers I need come from within.

It's none of our business what other people think of us.
