Psh, of course I don't care what people think., >____>; Options

[*My Cinderella.*]

Ever wake up extra early just to make sure you look great before you head off to school? Do you spend a while thinking of how you're going to respond to someone before you do it?

Do you honestly care what people think or view you as?

Everyone cares about what others think, to a degree, because sadly enough, it's what makes the world go 'round. Unfortunate, but true, and sometimes first impressions are all that you get.

I care what others' think of me--but only if it'll get me somewhere.

EXACTLY what I was just thinking.

I think on eof my strongest assets is my sense of who has power (and may be willing to delegate some of said power), and who I need to care about me and to be impressed by me. Everyone else can take me or leave me, but they ARE going to get me full on.

I DO care a lot about my importance, but that's because I care a hell of a lot about myself. Like Sandra said, it's a self respect thing.
