How much do other people's opinions matter to you?

When you think of your own self-image, do the opinions of others factor into it? If so, do outside opinions matter alot or a little bit into how you see yourself?

Well It's hard to tell. Everyone is insecure about there looks.

I am highly insecure but there are certain people who tell me other wise, it sometimes bother me that i don't see it yet others can. I try to find positives in myself and wonder if that's it.

But recently i've been a semi-nudist walking around in my underwear a whole lot lately, just ask Tank, lol, i tell him all the time. And Friday i was shocked when i looked in the mirror. I realized i had a cute butt, and would totally do someone with such a cute butt. i mean i've been told before, but never saw it. But for the first time in my life, i saw something myself.

Peoples opinions help i guess, but you need to truly see it yourself to come to some closure with yourself. Try finding positives in yourself first. Recently i've liked my Eyes, Smile and most recent...Butt, so it gives me some closure that maybe people aren't just being nice out of pitty or anything, but that there are atractive features about my looks, just need to look into myself to find them.

The older I get, I care more of what I think of myself and not what others think. People are going to think what they want and accept whatever they want to accept, so meh.
