How can I stop caring about what people think of me?

It's easiest to say but the most hardest thing to succeed at doing! My teacher told my class " Do y'all really think people are going to remember or even care years from now? " & She did have a point , but it's really hard not to care esp. when you can hear people whispering your name & staring at you. How do you manage to block the negativity , nd not care , nd just be like this is who I am , like it or leave it?

    This is a great video about not listening to others

    It was reported that while in school, muhammad ali ran to school along the school bus to stay fit and out of protest to the white kids, i think the key to this is realizing that only YOU know what you want in life and YOU are the person responsible for making it happen, other people don't matter, put your mind to what you gotta do and do it

    I believe it's hard for everyone to protect themselves of other people's negative thoughts and opinions toward you, but I just remind myself that I wasn't put on this earth to please everyone, and the only thing that really matters is what I feel about myself. As long as I'm happy, and I have a good life, a good job, and a good family, nothing else matters.
