That's unfortunate. I find that the opposite is true for my own anxiety. Caring about what others think enables me to tap into my social potential and act on it. If I didn't care, I would be spaghetti personified, because I do pretty much everything that I do for the sake of other people. Much of the anxiety comes from not living up to my own or others' expectations.

I care so much that a large part of how I interact with people is based off making them like me, but I'm also so detached to the outcome of that that I don't actually care if they do or do not like me, it doesn't effect my state much if at all. Idk how to explain

I'd imagine most people actually do care what others think. Even if some random user I've never interacted with insulted me, and it's not obviously a troll, I'd wonder what I said triggered that.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I crave acceptance because of an emotionless adolescence. If I was a female I'd probably end up stripping.
Wait no I wouldn't,  I probably never would have gotten through the stage fright.

I do care. If employers don't think of me positively I'll never get hired.



Or maybe I'll never be hired anyway.

Why is it a double standard? Strangers won't think twice about you, the others Charlie listed are people that will

Strangers may not think twice about you, but they will think at least once about you, and that's why they matter.

Pointless to you. I only have so much to give. I spend what I have on those who mean the most to me. I don't go out of my way to be a dick, but I don't stop to think how someone else feels about me either.

You could say that strangers have such a limited view of you that they couldn't possibly understand any of your motives etc so their opinion should not matter to you enough to make you care

If You Are A False Don't Entry
I don't care at all what people think of me online, because I know it has no consequence whatsoever, and online interaction isn't real interaction. So it doesn't really matter what I say, I like to use speaking on the internet as a means of amusement, sometimes. Sometimes I post serious stuff, but I mostly do that on my blog. If you look at a forum like sep7agon, there's not really anything that provokes in depth thoughts, most of the threads on the front page are, frankly, garbage.

If You Are A False Don't Entry
Offline, however, it's a different story. I absolutely loathe being around people outside of the internet. I always feel like I'm going to say something stupid, or do something awkward or whatever. For that reason I often feel really stiff. Like, today at art class, I felt so much tension just being around other people. It's because I don't feel like I can truly relax when I'm around others, I don't feel like I can just be spontaneous and just say whatever I want. It's too easy to say or do something which is awkward.

Sure, you could say that it's simply uncomfortable to be around others when the interaction feels awkward. I'm not sure where the root of this feeling lies though. Perhaps I can offer no better explanation than that human beings are a tribal animal by nature. It seems like no matter how much I try to intellectualize it in my brain, whenever I'm around other people it still goes back to that basic instinct of anxiety. I can try to tell myself that life itself is absurd, and the meaning we place on everything is absurd. It makes no difference in the shadow of human nature.

I suppose when you look parallel between my online and offline interaction it makes a lot of sense. Online, I say whatever I want, without any fear of the consequences (although I do usually avoid talking about literally killing people, or saying stuff like how I would love to kill donald trump, or how I think republicans in general should be killed; because then you actually run the risk of someone trying to be an asshole and actually calling the cops on you) because I guess it's like an escape from the pressure and paranoia of offline interaction for me.

It's really not. You're only getting like 10% of the information that you could be getting through someone's tone of voice, their facial expression, the way they gesture their body, etc. It's actually sort of sad and telling of the current generation we live in, that people growing up today seem to see no difference in talking to people in person and talking to people in text. I actually prefer talking to people in groups of 3 in a video chat, but talking to people in person is a bit uncomfortable for me, ironically. Just because it's uncomfortable for me doesn't mean that I don't realize how big of a sham talking to people through text is.

Here's the thing. When you're reading someone's writing through text, you don't really know a person. It's also impossible to tell what someone means sometimes if they're not using an inflection in their voice that you would hear. For example, sometimes it's impossible to tell sarcasm through text. Text is bullshit and you're retarded if you still disagree.
