A lot of people talk, a lot of people see. Do they see the truth? No, they see want they want to see. Do they speak facts? No, they speak opinions. We all hear opinions from different people but do they really matter? Okay now ask yourself whether what you say matters. No matter what you do, say, dress or act people will always judge you. But do you judge people? People tend to see others biasness but they don't see theirs. Ask your friend whether any of your opinion has offended them, now has any of them(your friend) ever offended you? We allow the opinions of others to not only damage us, but also define us .But it makes no difference what others think of you. What other people say about you behind closed doors or even in front of your face doesn't matter. Their viewpoints have no bearing on what you're all about. They aren't accurate. They are just interested in hurting or harming you. There is no rhyme or reason for it other than to make the other person feel superior to you in some way. This isn't something new, it's been there before, your opinion doesn't matter because you undervalue people, you don't appreciate their opinion coz you have a specific opinion and you are focused on making your opinion visible.

Your opinion doesn’t matter because it doesn't add value to anyone's life unless it does then its valid(but this post isn't about that). Your opinion doesn't matter because its only given from the perspective you hold. Maybe you care maybe you don't but please keep it if you know its harmful and you can't do anything about it in less that 7 seconds then don't comment. Example "you should have red lipstick on not pink for this occasion" see that's an opinion, the issue can be fixed in less than 7 seconds, like lending them the red lipstick that they should have on.

Here are 4 reasons as to why your opinion doesn't matter:

It's not your life, its theirs

People have the right to believe whatever they want, just as you have the right to believe whatever you want. People's opinions of them can't influence who they are or how much they're worth unless they let them. It is up to them to live their lives. They are the only ones who must endorse their own decisions at the end of the day.

You don’t know what's best for them.

No one will ever be as interested in their life as them. Only they know what's best for them and that entails learning from their own choices.

What is correct for someone else may be completely incorrect for you.

It is critical to remember that people's opinions are frequently formed based on what they would do. Which is the only issue. What is best for another person may be the worst thing for you. What one person deems trash may be considered treasure by another. We are all so different. You are the only one who knows what is best for you.

It Is Impossible To Please Everyone

You can't please everyone all of the time. It is impossible to meet everyone's expectations, so there is no point in exhausting yourself trying. Just make sure one of the people you please is you!


The weight of other people's ideas can become a burden for you. It might make it difficult to live your life since your entire existence is dominated by an idealized norm of what people want to see. When you become so preoccupied with other people's perceptions of you that you lose sight of your own. You can make a conscious decision to cease caring; to set yourself free. It's a technique that, like meditation, must be honed. However, once you genuinely grasp how to let go, you will see the world in a completely different light. When you stop catering to other people's opinions and beliefs, you will discover who you truly are, and that independence will be like taking your first breath.
