How To Care Less About What People Think
How I Gave Up Caring What Other People Thought OK, short answer, I haven’t. BUT, I am trying really hard to care less. People who know me know that I am a bit of a cynic. I find being miserable (in a light-hearted, friendly sort of way) very enjoyable. Sarcasm […]
