Is it normal to care this much to what others think about me?

Before the actual story, I'm a boy, just so you can understand it better.

Well, I noticed that I've been caring too much about what other people think about me, and this is starting to get annoying.

I always hear people saying: "Oh, she can say anything about me, I don't give a fuck" or "Whatever, like I would care about that" or "Lol, look at all these fucks I give", about what others say about them and I can't stop myself thinking: Why can't I let go of these kind of stuff? Why I keep thinking over and over again about what people think about me? Why do I even care about what strangers, that I'll never see again, think? How do you guys deal with these kind of stuff?

    I thought it was normal to care. Although, I think a lot of people try to pretend they don't. I only care about what the person has said if I respect them and I feel like what they said was accurate. I don't pay much attention to people who say things with the intent of being mean, e.g. trolls who say insults which aren't even true, why should I care? They're just doing it to get a reaction, why give them it? But if someone who knows me well and who I like gives me criticism, then I'll notice that.

    I don't think you're strange for being the way you are. Sometimes it's important to "give a fuck" about what people say about you. Especially if it's constructive criticism, in which case not caring about that might stop you from improving. Sometimes acting like you don't care at all can seem a bit defensive or even a little bit arrogant at times.

    They just like to act all tough and pretend that they don't. If its legit real life shit though. No troll bs on the net. No one cares for trolls.

    I'm a girl and I can relate. :/ If you'd like to talk with me about it, you can.

    But sometimes I do think that people really do care whether they admit to it or not.
