You don’t have to let yourself be terrorized by other people’s expectations of you.

Don't allow yourself to be held hostage by the opinion of others.

Do not let other people's definition of success and happiness dictate your choices.

Do not worry if others criticize or laugh at you, for their opinions are not your concern.

Be independent of the good opinion of other people.

I’m not responsible for what other people think I am able to do; I don’t have to be good because they think I’m going to be good.

Imagine living your life without the fear of being judged by others. You no longer rule your behavior according to what others may think about you. You are no longer responsible for anyone’s opinion. You have no need to control anyone, and no one controls you, either.

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Someone else's action should not determine your response.

is easier to let go of someone’s opinion of you when you understand that others see you through a combination of their past conditioning and their current emotional state without realizing it, they see themselves first, and through that lens they get an unclear picture of you

Don’t compare your inside to someone else’s outside.

I care not so much what I am in the opinion of others, as what I am in my own.

You are no longer responsible for anyone's opinion. You have no need to control anyone, and no one controls you either... You don't need to be right and you don't need to make anyone else wrong...you are no longer afraid of being rejected, and you don't have the need to be accepted...you can walk into the world with your heart completely open, and not be afraid to be hurt.

I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.
