Great stuff! This article really struck a chord with me, I feel like I’m on the road to not caring already, but this article, as well as some of your previous ones, kind of give me a boost in the right direction. :) Keep the good advice coming!

Just discovered the blog. Thanks for the real reminders. It’s easy for me to get caught up in the circles of cynicism, and nice to hear some earnest, intelligent discussion of the options. Best to you.

Hi, I was just at work and I really just needed a break and not care about other people. Thanks! It’s great to find articles like this and kind of a step back and think.

Yet another amazing posting – thanks! It reminds me of the experience that led to me finding 30 sleeps in the first place. Late last year, I was at a bar with two gorgeous Irish girl friends. They were in sexy little outfits, and I was in a wool sweater and Capri pants – my excuse is that I had less than 20 minutes to shower and pack for the weekend away… and was still a bit drunk from the previous night’s party. As the night went on, I noticed a cute guy checking me out, and my bar flirting skills from 20 years ago over rode my disbelief in what I was seeing… Within an hour, I’m snogging this boy from Belfast with my drop dead gorgeous friend staring at me from 5 feet away! It all happened because after realizing I was dressed weird, I’d taken an attitude of not caring what anyone thought about me that night. This experience became the kick I needed to learn how to talk to strangers. Then I might have learned more than his first name and what town he lived in… Finding 30sleeps has taught me some much needed life skills and I confess I’m having the time of my life putting them into play!

[…] going solo would make me a “billy no-mates”. But I’ve come to realise that a) other peoples’ opinions aren’t so important, and that b) in actuality lots of people travel on their own and that in some ways it’s […]

This article gives me a headache. I hate being approval-dependent, it’s a real pain in the ass and sometimes I feel like Atlas carrying the world on my shoulders by trying to satisfy everyone besides myself that is. Since our human ancestors lived in quite small groups and were dependent on each others help in order to survive it could easily cost your life to not bother what the others thought of you and I somewhat doubt that you can just get rid this (totally stupid) habit of humankind that easily. On the other hand my skin is also not as hairy as my ancestors used to be so who knows… But by saying that this is the “little detail” that holds so many people back from living their full potential is absolutely true.

My god I should really double-check my writing before I push the submit button. Being a non-native speaker is no excuse for not trying to articulate myself properly. I am truly sorry for everyone who read my last blog-entry. On the other hand I really shouldn’t care. ;)

ha i love the quotes on here, there practically amazing. i’m having major self esteem problems and this really is helping me to just say hell with people and their opinions, my own opinion is on myself is the only one that will ever really matter.

You know it is like a game people play with themselves. They want to be “cool” and so they act in the manner of which they precieve cool to be and wait to see if anyone see’s that they are indeed cool. It appears to be some kind of spectators sport for the self. I don’t know if any of you agree with this self actualization but I think it is real. Post a comment
