>Why do you care?
You know, some personality types cannot help but be concerned with how they're perceived by others. They're hardwired that way. It's the classic misunderstanding between extraverts and introverts.
- dwaltrip 13y agoI would argue 99% of people care a great deal, whether they like to admit it or not. We are social creatures. Caring about these things (within some range) also gives a higher chance for reproductive success, so as you said, we are hard-wired to care.
- philjr 13y agoPeople who don't care about other people's opinions aren't that common and aren't called extroverts. They're generally called sociopaths :-)
- gboudrias 13y agoI'm pretty sure sociopaths care in a sense that other people's opinions is what allows them to climb the social ladder and gain power.

Actually the definition of extraversion is deriving gratification from that which is outside the self, so I'd say it's actually introverts who are less likely to care what others think.
