Sometimes I don't care what others say, but this is usually because I believe that I am better informed than they are. (for instance, someone who says that I live in a dangerous neighborhood, and has never spent time in my neighborhood, or compared crime statistics in my area)
Othertimes I really care, because I value and respect someone's opinion. (like listening to my violin teacher give me constructive criticism)
Sometimes I'm just so touchy and sensitive, that any comment from anyone can really hurt-- and multiply that if the comment comes from someone who matters to me.
I'm taking "thick-skin-supplements" to develop immunity to mean people trying to get to me. It's called Fukitol and was recommended in psycho-babble by curtm a month or two ago. It's really cheap. After a while, you can just steal it from the stores, because you don't even care anymore. That's probably a good time to adjust your dosage downwards.
