The value isn't so much in not giving a fuck what people think, but rather being very selective about who you do give a fuck about. I have a wife, and two children, and a handful of friends whose opinions of me and my decisions are utterly critical to my happiness and well being. If I lost their confidence, I don't see what the point of anything else would be. But for most people, even friends, I don't really give a fuck. I guess another way of saying this is that there are two ways you can end up not giving a fuck what people think. First, you can be very confident in your own righteousness, or second, you simply don't care whether you're right or not. The latter sounds like a very sad and awful place to be, to me. It kinda means you don't give a fuck about what you think of yourself, either.
