Nia Monopoli: We see our "selves" in the reflection of others. Although most people like to expound the fact that they do not care what others think of them, subconsciously we always want to make people think of us in a certain way. We want people that we respect to admire us and people we admire to respect us. We want people we shun to fear us and people we fear to shun us. We want people we love to need us and people we need to love us. The millions of actions our mind performs eac! h day are based on what we pre-judge the reactions of others to be, hence the term prejudice. This is an innocuous term that has been assigned a very negative connotation in recent years. We are not even aware that decisions are being made in this fashion, they just are. So to answer the question, yes,we all instinctively care what people think of us....Show more

"What would everybody think"? This is why some people end up in bad situations because they're afraid that others will think they're "bad", "weak", or whatever insult comes to mind.
