It’s only natural to give a fuck what other people think about you…
It’s only natural to seek the approval of other people…
But there are serious consequences and costs to doing so.
- When you give too many fucks what strangers think about you, you end up feeling insecure in public places.
- When you seek approval through dating (and getting attention from women), you end up on an emotional roller coaster that can leave you feeling “unworthy” and lonely.
- When you give too many fucks what your family thinks about your career, you end up working a job you don’t care about.
In this article I’ll cover three steps you can follow to stop seeking approval, so you can free yourself from all the negative emotions that come along with giving too many fucks.

#1: Understand Why It Doesn’t Matter
The first step is to understand why it’s useless to worry about the opinions of other people.
Most People Are Too Self-Conscious to Judge You
You’re not the only person who’s worried about what other people think.
In fact, it’s absolutely crucial for you to realize just how self-conscious the average person is. Seriously, even the most confident men worry about how other people perceive them.
It’s why we take so much time to choose what we’re going to wear. It’s why we go to the gym. It’s why we get cool-ass haircuts. And it’s why we want to make a lot of money and become famous.
The entire concept of fame, and what makes it so attractive, is that it implies that lots of other people will like you.
So next time you catch yourself worrying that everyone is looking at you and judging you, realize that they’re probably too busy worrying about what other people are thinking about them to even notice you.

The “High” of Approval Does Not Last
Here’s another big thing you need to understand: the “high” you experience after getting approval NEVER lasts.
