How To Stop Caring About What Others Think - Improvement Pill here if you're someone who cares way too much about what others
think of you then this video is for you so pay close
attention because I'm gonna show you exactly what you need to do now the
reason why we care so much about what others think of us is because we humans
are social animals our survival has always been dependent on our ability to
work together so whether you like it or not because we are social animals we
subconsciously sort the people in our environment into hierarchies we rank
everyone by their power status and whatever else we value from top to
bottom like a pyramid for example if you were working in a corporate setting
something like a typical office job you're gonna have a hierarchy that's
sort of looks like this your boss and his superiors are all the way at the top
you're over here and the interns and people with less important positions are
ranked below you the reason we care so much about what others think of us is
because we humans are always concerned about where we currently stand in our
hierarchy it's everyone's unconscious goal to try to secure a position closer
to the top because well things are better up there you get more respect you
have more power to do things you don't have to listen to anyone else you make
more money people like you more the list goes on and on and on it the point is
it's generally better to be at the top and that's why we all subconsciously try
to get there now if you're at the middle or at the bottom of your hierarchy then
you're gonna care a lot about what others think of you because you need to
be constantly paying attention to their reactions to make sure that you're
saying and doing the right things that you're acting quote/unquote cool enough
to gain their respect and climb up the pyramid on the other hand if you're near
or at the top of your hierarchy you're still gonna care a lot about what
others think of you because you need to pay attention to what's happening in the
group making sure that people don't spread rumors or do things that could
hurt your reputation so that you can keep your position at the top so it
doesn't matter where you are in your hierarchy because either way you're
still gonna care a lot about what others think of you it's just human nature
wait so an improvement bill does this mean that no matter what I do there's no
way for me to get out of this trap well not quite see there are a couple of ways
you can cheat this but the most practical way in my opinion is what I
like to call the butterfly method this is when like a butterfly you fly around
from social environment to social environment from group to group
doing so will mean that you are part of many different hierarchies not just one
or two like most people but at least four or more see the more hierarchies
that you are a part the less you will care about each one if
you're only a part of one group then a hundred percent of your concerns will be
about how high on the hierarchy you are within that one group but if you have
two groups that you actively participate in then your concerns become split maybe
50/50 maybe 60/40 or maybe even 70/30 depending on how much time you spend
with each group now it doesn't matter too much because just by having another
group of people that you want an active part of how much you care about what
others think of you and either group will drop significantly bump this to
four or five or even six groups and you'll find yourself at a point where
you don't really care that much about each group yes you're still gonna care a
bit about what others think and that's perfectly normal it's a part of being a
human being but you're gonna care much much much less because it doesn't matter
if you're not in a good position for one group you still have five other groups
you're living off the mindset of abundance which is when you have an
excess of something and by simply having an abundance of social groups that you
are a part of you're gonna find yourself acting in a more relaxed and collected
manner you're gonna find yourself treating others in the group more
confidently and in a more fun and carefree way and because of this you
will actually climb many of these hierarchies without even trying okay so
how exactly do you do this how does one execute the butterfly method well there
are two ways to go about this the first is to start looking for other groups to
join in the past I was an avid user of the platform meetup comm there you can
find people that share common interests and hang out with them board games
public speaking groups sports fanatics you name it they have it by expanding
your social circle like this you will find yourself a part of many different
groups the more groups you actively participate in the less you will care
about what others think of you in each one the second way you can take
advantage of the butterfly method is by traveling by yourself when you travel to
another country all on your own and socialize with the people there you
remove yourself from the hierarchies that you are normally a part of you're
in a totally different place with totally different people and oftentimes
you'll start to notice yourself acting very differently more confidently more
carefree when you're abroad because these are all hierarchies that you don't
really care about because the mindset is you're only there for a couple of days
or weeks and you'll probably never see those people again by traveling so many
places on your own you end up joining and leaving dozens of different groups
and what you'll find when you eventually return home is a very different
perspective on life you're going to have a
understanding of just how many people there are in the world just how many
groups and hierarchies you can join and this is the ultimate form of abundance
understanding that in a world with seven billion people there are endless groups
to join now we all know caring too much about what others think is bad but there
are things that you should care about things like learning which brings us to
