Why bother

I've seen a lot of people put too much weight and care in other people and their opinions, especially when those people don't really matter. Trying so hard to impress people they don't even like. I always say "the only person you have to live with is yourself, and whoever YOU CHOSE to live with". Only the opinions of the people you love and respect should matter to you, as for anyone else, to be blunt, even if they roll over and die, it wouldn't affect you, so why bother.
