Belonging is a core human need. It’s biological and we have a better survival rate if accepted by the group. The problem isn’t in caring what other people think, it’s that the majority of people are judgy and think it’s okay to cast people out.
No man is an island. Our character and personality is built off our interactions with people in our lives. I think it's healthy and necessary to care about what others think about us. What we have to mind is who the "others" our and evaluate why and how much of their opinion matters to us.
