Other than the missus, I couldn't give a toss about what anyone thinks.
How much do you care what other people think?

I also care too much about how people think of me as a person, rather than how good I am at my job. Sometimes I withold asking a question because I think it might sound like I don't know my job well enough. This is the wrong attitude. I should challenge things more and speak my mind. I'm getting more confident as I get older but I'm not at a level I'd like to be at yet.

I don't care what anybody thinks of me tbh 
All that would do is make my anxiety worse. If people don't like what I do or what I say, **** them.
I take what people say seriously, I struggle to take a joke but that's my autistic traits.

On second thought, I often find I care what people think when I am about to soil my pants.

When it comes to stuff I buy hell no, it's my money, I've earnt it, I'm gonna buy what I want not what other people would suggest.
I'm abit of an individual, I wouldn't go out just cause people wanted me to if I didn't feel like it, never been influenced by peers taking drugs at uni trying to make me. Quite proud of the fact that I can stand up for myself and be me tbh.

Where, may I ask, is the other part of you?

I expect to be judged by people as much as I judge them. I just try to look healthy and have a very 'normal' fashion sense.
I am quite concious of my height, though (5'7"). Especially in quite packed situations, where everyone is taller than me.

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not at all) I'd say about 2 usually.
In general, I couldn't care less what others think and I do what I do because it's what I want to do.
But, that's not to say I don't value the opinions of others and if they are good ideas of suggestions and to my liking then of course I may go ahead with something.
On the other hand, I've recently started to work out (after forver having a terrible diet and being really skinny) and lots of people have commented on it and I've started to have more confidence about myself. So maybe I care more than I thought. haha. This is a recently development and the only time I can ever remember caring. But I think most of my good feelings from it come from the fact that I'm likely just fitter and healthier. lol

I only listen to the opinions of people who can demonstrate said opinions to be valid. A lot of people I meet in life, throw out all sorts of ill informed nonsense at least some of the time. For the sake of an easy life, I usually just nod and smile.
I find you should listen to everyone, but only take heed of a few. I like to research everything. You tend to know truth when you hear it, likewise, alarm bells ring when you hear something spurious. Sometimes I follow bad information. But you live you learn. If I'm not certain about something, I like to get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. Google is my friend, and so is my Dad, a very wise man.

Yup!
Think he means if you're married with kids bringing in a good income and have a decent group of friends you'll be less likely to care what others think because you already have everything that really matters.

I saw the following written on the back of a lorry yesterday
"Its not about being liked, its about being yourself"
This has since become my motto.

Pretty much yeah.
As part of my natural instinct I want to be with an attractive woman who ticks all the correct boxes. Consequently I'm probably more inclined to dress and style myself in a way which I think will help me get the type of lady I want to be with. And I think again most women do this too.
There's obviously exceptions to this rule and the guy down the pub in his west ham shirt five days a week may well end up with some high class totty, but generally speaking I do think most people will dress and style themselves according to how they want to be perceived by the opposite sex in hope they can find a partner who ticks their boxes.
With my guy mates however, they couldn't give a damn how I dress. Unless of course I'm spending so much on my appearance that I have no money to go out and socialise with them, but that's because they enjoy my company and not my clothes (I hope!).
As to once you're with that person, I doubt most people let their "style" slip too much. But as those relationships grow, sentiment becomes deeper anyway and things are no longer just about the immediate physical attraction. So of course peoples wives and husbands may not care if you buy some crazy Hawaiian shirt or get some retro hair cut, because that relationship isn't just about looks any more. Be sure though that if you come home with a mullet the other half may snigger at you and ask "what is that?!". You've been warned.
So of course it's likely to depend on where you're at in life.
