Ask Osho!

What should I do about my worries regarding what others think of me?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Drop the obsession with others' opinions, for they are equally entangled in the web of your judgments; reclaim your freedom and let your authenticity shine."

According to Osho, do nothing: drop the obsession with others' opinions, because they too are preoccupied with what you think of them. Recognize the mutual mirage and reclaim your freedom. When you stop measuring yourself by others’ eyes, anxiety dissolves and authenticity emerges; relax, be yourself, and let the social mirror lose its hold.
Don’t worry about what others think—they’re busy worrying about what you think—so relax and be yourself.
