What will people say? Those four words has made a lot of people make some very bad mistakes in their lives just because they feared what people would say if they had taken a different decision.
Caring about what people say about you is useless
Most people don't even care about themselves
What others think of you is absolutely non of your business. Do not because of others choose to live a life you don't want for yourself. If their thoughts about you won't bring in anything good for you then it should be totally disregarded by you.
A lot of people has stayed in an abusive relationship just because they feel they can't handle what people will say about them if they happen to leave such relationship. And at the end of it's all, when they finally make up their minds to leave, it might turn out too late as their abusive partner might have given them some physical of some sort.
I used to care what people think about me
Until I tried to pay my bills with their thoughts.

If you care about what other people think of you, you will always be their prisoner as they will be like a mini god to you. You wouldn't want to dissapoint them so you end up doing things that you think they will like forgetting that it's your life.
Never pay attention to what people think about you. If you don't like what's happening around you, change it irrespective of peoples thought about you.
So stop caring about what people will think of you today and do what's right.
