I think this should also not be seen as free-reign to be an asshole. I live by a similar creed, but it is more nuanced. I like to tell my children that they should not care about what other people think about who my children are as people, but that they should comport themselves in society with kindness and sincerity because that is the right way to behave. Like, I literally could not care any less about what people think about who I am. I am just me, and I am fine with that. But I try, for my own sake, to be trustworthy, honorable, kind, and just. The problem is when people take this mentality and justify it to act like a total dickbag.
