Most guys care what people think of them. A LOT. They outsource their self-worth to the real and imagined judgments of others.
A vague look, a sharp tone, an eye-roll, a slow reply, a bit of criticism… and suddenly you’re doing mental gymnastics trying to “fix” how you’re perceived.
Of all the Nice Guy Syndrome problems I've had, this is one of the few that I feel I have completely CURED for myself. I'm now at the point where caring about someone's opinion of me doesn't even make sense; it simply doesn't register as information that matters to me at all.
I believe anyone can learn to let go of caring what others think and getting defensive. It's just a matter of changing the way you get validation and process reactions from others.
So I've created a practical playbook-style guide you can use to stop being needy for validation and emotionally hurt by criticism from other people.
This concise guide covers:
- What it really means to "care" what others think
- The mental model: how to fill your own cup with self-validation
- The 7 filters that make judgements against you powerless
- The practical exercise (do this today) to make this real
- The “never defend yourself” drill
- Build your self-worth system (the real foundation to long term confidence)
Comment "Confident!" to get a copy of it!
You have until the end of Fri this week to get your copy.
This playbook is a brief guide for the "How to Not Give a Fuck" workshop I'll be running next Tues, (exclusive and free for VIP members only):
This short workshop will be all about how to train yourself to stop caring what other people think of you, so that you're socially confident and free at all times!
