“What do they think about me?” is a useful question. It’s best only when you consider it for a few people in your life. For example, your spouse, your best friend, a family member.

As you meet more people, you can trust yourself to be respectful, civil, and collaborative. That doesn’t mean you need to ask yourself, care, or worry about, what they think about you.

Care only about what a few people think of you. You can be impressive, without needing to impress.
