Although tour sample size is small, you are making the right conclusion out of it.
If you don't meditate then you are trapped in the cycle of wanting confirmation and approval from others.
After meditation you realise that it doesn't matter one bit what others think or say about you.
Inner peace is all that matters.
- jm__87 8y agoI would argue that you should care what other people think about you if you're inclined towards selfish behavior or treating others poorly. Caring what others think would stop you from engaging in behavior that would result in you alienating yourself. Of course meditation should help you become more prosocial as well, but I don't think removing the need for confirmation/approval of others is going to help everyone.

- thewhitetulip 8y agoYou are absolutely right. But I am not a snob, I am a socially awkward nerd so it did good to me when I begun ignoring how people judged me for 1. Reading books: wtf do you do? Read books? Why??? Don't you have a life? 2. You code in your free time? Wtf is wrong with you? 3. Why don't you dance with us? It is fun, you should. Etx
- jm__87 8y agoOh, wow. I can't imagine being judged negatively for reading books. I read a lot and almost everyone I tell this to tells me they are impressed and wishes they read more themselves. Never apologize for reading, that just sounds crazy to me.
