Other People

"You shouldn't worry about what other people think"

A famous line of supposed maturity and a difficult mantra to obey, right? Wrong. A display of ignorance and a lack of thoughtfulness. No one worries about thoughts. People worry about actions. Actions spring from thoughts. What can one person's brain waves give you to fear?

The fear lies in the actions that spring from thoughts. If one person thinks bad of you (depending on the person, of course) they''ll tell other people, who will think bad of you, and they'll tell other people. You remember the whole if one person tells two people and those people tell two people, in three hours, the whole town knows. Well if the whole town thinks bad of you then, so what, right? So you become an outcast. People think bad of you and so does everyone else, so you are shunned. You can't make friends and those you have leave you. You can't get a date. So on, so forth. With so many people, the group gets confident, and more violent actions.

I'm gonna stop right now, because someone is saying, yah yah, you're a paranoid freak. That kinda crap never happens. Alright. Five people think poorly of you. You liked one of them. Better start looking for a new crush. Guess who's birthday party you're not going to!
