What does everyone think about me?
“As for worrying about what other people might think – forget it. They aren’t concerned about you. They’re too busy worrying about what you and other people think of them.” — Michael Le Boeuf
I burst out laughing when I read this quote, having just come back from a networking event, where just before walking in the door, I got caught in a downpour and my hair was really bad. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the event, my hand kept creeping up to ‘fix’ my hair ( a truly hopeless cause) and a good part of my brain activity was preoccupied with what people were thinking of the image I was presenting……. what a waste of energy and thought!
So next time you find yourself on that treadmill of obsessing about what other people think, remember this quote. No one is paying all that much attention to you – they’re busy listening to that voice in their own head!
