If we keep thinking about “what will people say”, then we’ll just keep thinking about them forever.
We’ll never get the chance to think about what we actually want.
People’s opinions depend on their moods, habits, and the upbringing they’ve had.
None of that ever stays constant. Just like our habits and thoughts keep changing, theirs do too.
So if we keep trying to make everyone else happy all the time, we’ll end up feeling exhausted.
And in the end, we still won’t get the result we actually wanted.
That’s why we need to learn to think independently about what we want, what we feel like doing, and what feels right or wrong to us.
If we keep living under the influence of others, or constantly keep worrying about what people will think, we’ll only keep hurting ourselves and we’ll never be able to achieve anything worthwhile in life.
