An observation
When I find myself repeatedly thinking "I don't really care" about what someone thinks of me, it's because I care very much.

Why?? What makes their opinion any more valid than your own?
It's not that.
It's that I think I shouldn't care what certain people think, so I try to convince myself I don't. But I do. I don't think their opinion is more important than my own, just important enough to matter to me.
I do the same thing myself, usually after I first meet someone. You try to think "oh, it doesn't matte what soemone else thinks," but it is creepy how often you think about it after the fact.
(Like, now, I'll spend all Sunday subconsciously wondering if this comment makes people think I shallow or something.)
