RE: Don't worry too much about what people have to say, especially when creating content
You are so right. Paying attention to what others might think or say is a prison in the own head. And this prison stops you from living your life how you want it.
I imagine, for example, what a world looks like, where everyone would look the way they really want and not conform to the prescribed fashion and without fear of what others might think of it . One would go out and see so much colorful, crazy, artistic and strange things. That would be wonderful ;).
But we are going in the opposite direction. More and more conformity in everything and i agree that the political correctness stops people from saying what they really think in fear to use the wrong words.
Well put, political correctness is a good idea in theory, but in reality, it just censors so much that it's hard to say anything that won't hurt someone somewhere.
Criticism is important, as well as self acceptance, and being offended when someone says they don't like you is nothing but your own fault for letting a few words that don't really mean anything get to you.
More people should just learn to accept themselves and to ignore the negative opinions they get, especially when those expressing them aren't in any way superior to those being criticized.
