News Flash! People are not thinking about you!

I like many, spent all this time worrying about what family, friends, and people thought of me. I worried about their judgements, and expectations, disappointing, and pleasing them. When meanwhile they weren't thinking about me at all.
It's not a bad thing and it doesn't mean they don't care or love me. It's just that most people are completely consumed with their own lives and all the responsibilities that come with it.
Often I'm an afterthought. Therefore, why place all of this expectation and put in all this brain power for nothing that has anything to do with you and your life.
It's a waste of time and more often than not we are completely wrong about what we think people are thinking of us.
So let it go because life is short..do you.
Cheers, and wishing you great health. Tony

A therapist told me this once:
"What other people think of you is none of your business."
Also, some of the lyrics from Peter Paul and Mary's "Rolling Home" are helpful:
"Now if you care what people think
Like they supplied some missing link
They'll just stand back and watch you sink so slow
They'll never help you to decide
they'll only take you for a ride
After which they'll try and hide the fact that they don't know
What you should do, where you should go"

Timeless words to live by.
