Ok, so here is a rather difficult question I think. Do you care what people think about you? Does it matter if you know the person or not? Does it matter if they are family or not?
If a person walks up to you and calls you an asshole, bitch, cunt, slut, trash, faggot, anything like that, does it really matter to you? If it does matter to you, Why?
Well, my answer to this is that if I do not know you then what you think about me doesn't matter, but if you are a friend or family member then yes it does affect me, in either a positive or negative way.
Now lets change it a little, does it matter if they are a potential employer, a judge, a cop, or a doctor. Do you care then?
For me the answer is yes to all of them except the doctor, I hate doctors LOL.
I really want you to think about this question. I mean REALLY think about it.
Your reputation precedes you in many ways. For instance, in college, do you want your professor to automatically think of you as the slacker that only shows up every 3rd class and only does the minimum requirements? Or would you rather have them think of you as the professional student, the one who is always in class, the one who tries so very hard to do everything you are supposed to? Do you think that your reputation has an affect on your grades, or how that professor reacts to you?
What do you really think? I want to know.
