What To Do When People Express Opinions About Your Life That You Don’t Agree With
At all moments, all the billions of human beings that live on Earth are creating opinions about other human beings. It’s impossible not to. If you are human, you are going to create an opinion about another human.
After creating this opinion, you have two options: keep it for yourself, or express this option to other humans or even to the human you had created the option on.
Today, someone told me what is their opinion about my life. I didn’t like it. Just like that. I am not going to do anything about it because I have other things to worry about, but I simply didn’t like it. Only me in my own shoes have the right to express an opinion about my life. You don’t. You can think whatever, but don’t let me know.
That made me reflect on what other people think about me. I never stop to think about that. What are the opinions that are being created based on what they see? (or think they see).
The truth is most of the time we don’t know other people’s lives to have enough material to create an opinion on. But we still do. We can’t avoid what people will think about our lives, so the best we can do is just to live as we want to because they will think what they want to think.
