Pig! The secret to life! Not really, caring about what others think if not all the time or as much worry or panic is essentially how we need to function. Maybe Pig, if you left the rat alone for six hours you would have the same effect?
I’m totally with Pig on this. It’s WAY easy to get into a tailspin thinking about what someone will think about what I’m thinking about doing. Better by far to pick goals that are good in and of themselves and then live with what the (ahem)s say about it. Because it’s true that no good deed goes unpunished, but you can always look at the fact that it WAS a good deed and ignore the nay-sayers.

Someone said we wouldn’t worry so much about what others think about us if we knew how little they do it

Pig canceled his social media feeds, sending followers to Rat.

Some people’s opinions do matter.

Pig neglected to mention that “things he wanted to get done” were sleeping and eating. While “what others think” was doing his job.

Six hours a day? I don’t think I’ve totaled six hours this year.

Pig, Rat is not a good mentor for you.
(Rat is not a good mentor for anyone.)

also saves a lot of money when you buy what you need/want and NOT what might impress others, or the Latest Thing.

I hate to say this, Pig, but keep at this and you might end up becoming a Rat!

I usually save those thoughts for when I’m trying to fall asleep… Not my plan but that’s when my brain schedules them.

Honestly, one of Pig’s better ideas.

That works in most cases, but an artist or a writer usually values the opinion of others to be successful.

Why care what people think? They do it so seldom.

Growing up, it was important at the time to worry about “what people think”!
I found my voice after divorce and speak my mind now! I’m free to be me and don’t give a rats @$$ what anyone thinks or says!
Your friends don’t care and your enemies won’t believe you!

Especially if it’s with things that barely should concern them, it’s usually good advice.
