I know that this has been done before so no need to direct me to other links.
When someone makes a comment about something. I get really brought down and I think too much about it.
how do you stop caring what other people think?

and constantly tell yourself you don't give a **** what other people think of you ~ it will sink in.
So many people are quick to dismiss a friend who tells them how great they are, yet quick to analyse every little detail of a stranger telling them they are shit at something. And it's entirely because one is confirming what they already believe about themselves, whereas the other is going against how they feel.
That is all true. I cant take compliments from anyone, no matter how much I know that they geuninely mean it. I also take critism really harshly.
You really shouldnt be ashamed for doing something you enjoy, some people just might not like it or understand why you do something that makes you happy.
I really worry about what people think of me.
sometimes I dont care but mostly, even if its strangers, I wonder what they think and it influnces my behaviour.
been that way since I was kid.
people on the whole try to be people pleasing. the simple truth is you cannot please everyone, you can only do whats right by you. end of.
Apply that to your situation, and ergo...
there are a quite a few personality categories that people become. some types dont like others. everyone admires and frowns on different things. so whatever somebody doesn't like, somebody somehwere else will.
you can't please everyone, and no one should try to.
you have to be confident and content in yourself to disregard other peoples opinions.
But then I'm a bit of an arse sometimes...
The fact is, you'll never find yourself unless you live for yourself and not for the expectations of others.
