Nice to be back on these forums. Figured instead of wasting space with a pointless welcome back thread that I'd start off by stirring up some knowledge. Are you someone that cares about what others, mainly strangers, think about you? If so, why? What is your reason behind this and why should their thoughts matter? Feel free to contribute even if you aren't someone like that.
I am like that, and not really sure why. I have always been a quiet person. I don't draw a lot of attention to myself usually and don't do well in large groups. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I'm trying to come up with a reason, so I'll be interested to see other people's answers.
Others? can't be judged or controlled & don't have the desire or need to be approved. I just don't recognize anybody "above" me.
I am a 62 year old dude with a pony tail. I could care less what others think of me at this time in my life.

I don't care a whole lot what people think of me, but it depends on the who what when where why ya dig?
This is for both you guys. I'm an INTP for sure, it's freaky how accurate it is. http://www.personalitypage.com/html/high-level.html Browse around till you find one that sounds like you, it'll open your eyes a little to why you do things.
I guess I want people to see me for exactly what I am. I try to be as honest and as true to myself as I can be. If someone doesnt like me after getting to know me, who cares? But I always want to break stereotypes and have people see me for Sabrina. Im not sure if it makes sense but it's how I've figured it to be. So I worry a lot about someone judging me before getting to know me because I think it's unfair to our potential relationship as whatever.
