🌝 MY EXCELLENT MENTAL HEALTH requires that I do not give a rat's ass what you think of me.

The only time I feel down on myself is when I worry for one second about what other people think of me. In truth, unless someone tells me directly to my face, I have no idea what they think of me. Anything I think other people are thinking about me I am making it up in my head.  If I am going to make up stuff in my head about what other people think of me, I am going to make it good stuff. Good stuff like they think I am handsome, smart, kind, generous, funny, etc.  - Frederick
