Don't control things you can't control.

They don't want to support you because they're jealous.

Sometimes we just have to not give a fuck.

It doesn't matter what they're doing because we're all gonna end up in the fucking ground anyway.

Right now is what matters.

Who gives a fuck?

I'm just a little piece of dot.

To be cringe is to be free.

Fuck haters, like they're insignificant.

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.

Today we are gonna be talking about not controlling people's perceptions of us

or in other words as the title of the video goes just let them okay

and i i didn't really write down my thoughts we're just

gonna revolve this whatever the fuck you want to say like how i used to do my journal entry

so i just come on here

and rant nowadays i kind of like write on my notebook what i want to talk about

because sometimes i really just go off on a tangent

and i'm like okay as 2026 come to an end

and actually moving to new york i realized

that something i'm not proud of is is

that I feel like I tend to think too much about how others perceive me, okay?

And I just recently finished this book called The Courage to be Disliked.

I'm actually going to make another video on here reviewing that book because I marked it up.

And it actually taught me a lot of things.

Like, I didn't think that a book can teach me things about life.

Usually, they just say all the same type of stuff.

Like, it's just, you know,

like, I already know that.

So why didn't you tell me this, you know?

But actually, surprisingly, it actually taught me a lot of things.

And I was like, wow, this is very valuable.

Like, I never thought of things this way.

And so I want to make a video on that for you guys.

And something I really reflected on was just the fact that,

you know, like, yeah, we should have the courage to be disliked

and also just live in freedom and not within expectations of others.

And, you know, sometimes you say that, right?

Actually doing that in practice is very hard.

And I think for me,

I started caring what people think,

you know, and for a very long time,

that wasn't like the case.

And I think I was just comfortable,

you know, even filming videos.

Like I used to be very uncomfortable doing that.

I was like, oh, like people are going to care now, you know.

But the thing is that the more you do it,

you get more confidence in it.

And they say that like,

you know, when you do something continuously,

it's like you build a habit.

And it takes at least like 30 days for you to build like an actual like a habit, you know.

And so the more you do it,

the more it becomes easier.

And that's something that's very powerful.

Because once you know that,

you can almost do pretty much anything.

Because you just need to accept that it's going to be uncomfortable at the beginning.

You know, everyone starts somewhere, right?

But then you compare, right?

It's like, I always thought that I wouldn't fall into like the loop of comparing.

And then when I compare,

I'm like, oh my god.

You know, like people do so much better than me.

Like people are just smarter than me, prettier than me.

It's just like, then you feel like shit.

And then you're like, I don't want to try anything.

Like it doesn't even matter.

I don't want to do this because I don't want to be a beginner.

Like I just don't want to do that.

But then it's like, so what?

You know, like so what?

And sometimes that really calms me down because like I'm kind of like a control freak, you know?

And I'm like, oh my God, what happens with this?

What happens with that?

Don't control things that you can't control.

And let me say that one more time.

Don't control things you can't control because that is just such a waste of energy.

You cannot control it.

So why are you wasting your time thinking about that?

You know, the quicker you come to terms with that,

the more peaceful you will be at.

Just let them, you know,

doing certain things that is our comfort zone and people are judging you for it.

Okay.

Just let them, let them judge you because who cares?

You need to live your life in absolute freedom.

That is very important because you can't live your life like,

oh, what are they going to think of me?

It's very exhausting living that way.

And you don't live a fulfilling life that way.

Okay.

It prevents you from doing a lot of things that you want to do.

And it makes you scared.

You know, you need to live in the way where you have to do things,

especially in this coming new year If you have some like,

you know, new year's resolution at least for me It's like i'm just gonna do things.

I like i'm just gonna be not like in my little bubble Like

because that makes it sound like very self-centered

100

But I guess we're all self-centered in a way like you just need to be like are you happy with this?

101

Like do things that make sense to you Like if you really want to do something,

102

just do it.

103

You don't need to be like,

104

oh, XYZ is doing something.

105

Who gives a fuck?

106

You are living life for yourself.

107

You know what I mean?

108

Like you are in this body and you only get to go through life yourself.

109

You know, like it doesn't matter what they're doing because we're all going to end up in the fucking ground anyway.

110

Like you have to make sure that what you're doing means something to you, you know?

111

And it's fine if you're cringe and then you're like,

112

oh my God,

113

this is not good the first time i'm doing this it

114

looks like i don't know like let's say you want to be a chef

115

and you're cooking and it looks like utter shit

116

and it tastes utter shit like yeah it's gonna suck

117

but it's like you just have to keep going okay everyone starts somewhere

118

and the people who are envious of you who are judging you are probably the ones aren't that are extremely insecure

119

insecure people usually come for those who are adjacent to them you know i mean

120

if you're insecure like you don't feel any sort of way

121

if people are like you know a big all-time celebrity is

122

like posting a lot you don't feel any sort of insecurity towards them

123

but you feel insecurity towards people who you consider as the same level as you know like

124

if you're like talking to someone

125

and they're judging you they probably view you as a competition

126

and fuck them literally fuck them they don't want to support you

127

because they're jealous okay but at the same time it's also very important

128

which something that i realized i learned in the book

129

that i read is that to not view

130

and everyone as your enemy okay because that makes life very difficult

131

because especially among friends like something

132

that i learned you know just view everyone as your they

133

say comrade was what they said in the book like don't view everyone as an enemy

134

but also don't do things where it's like xyz is gonna think it's uncool

135

because there are going to be insecure people

136

and there are going to be people who have not checked themselves okay

137

because people have flawed i'm not saying that you should cut them out

138

but i'm just saying

139

that there are people who are going to project certain things on you you know like saying

140

that oh yeah like personally i wouldn't do what you're doing

141

but you're super brave for that and that's gonna make you feel like shit okay

142

but the things that you just have to be

143

so secure with yourself

144

and just be like okay what they say doesn't determine my

145

worth i'm just gonna do what i say i'm gonna take

146

everyone's word from with a grain of salt something that's really important for you to realize is

147

that what people say to you speaks more for themselves than

148

about you okay that's very important you come to terms with

149

that because you know life sucks people who say hurtful things to you

150

and you have to not take it to heart if it hurts

151

if it bothers you you need to think it through you can't just bury it down

152

because trust me i've tried

153

that shit doesn't work you have to actually like you know process it and be like okay Why did that bother me?

154

Oh, it's because you know,

155

they're projecting onto me and it makes me feel like shit,

156

you know It really lessens a load like trust me I'm still like working through this

157

but truly trust me Like when I say this like it truly lessens a load

158

when you realize like you just live life for yourself Okay,

159

this is your life like stop worrying about what are they gonna think?

160

Oh my god, everyone's gonna make fun of me

161

if I like do something different like everyone's gonna say something if I start wearing all pink,

162

you know or if I just discern things like,

163

you know, if I take on this job or or if I start doing this with my hair,

164

if I start doing this with my makeup,

165

if I start acting different,

166

if I start acting more confident,

167

everyone's gonna think this way.

168

Yes, they are, but who gives a s***?

169

Like, this is your life, you know?

170

And they take it or they can leave it.

171

They can either accept you for that or they can leave it.

172

If they don't have your contact info, who gives a f***?

173

And if they do, and they don't support you in what direction you're going,

174

that's not really a friend.

175

That's just not someone you need in your life.

176

So you're basically filtering out those people who don't belong in your life.

177

Sometimes we just have to not give up off.

178

This is me.

179

I am not going to cater to your palette.

180

I can change whatever I want.

181

And I think life gets scary when we're too much in our head.

182

Okay.

183

When we're too much in our head and when we cage ourselves, we box ourselves.

184

Okay.

185

We set these limitations on ourselves.

186

Like we can only do this.

187

We can only do that.

188

We can't go beyond that, you know?

189

And it sucks because I'm always talking about like,

190

we should go beyond and beyond,

191

you know, you should not put yourself in a box i always mention

192

that i think there also comes like a point where i'm

193

like i'm not gonna place myself in a box you know

194

but sometimes because of that i think that i get scared of doing things

195

that are in the box you know i mean like i

196

think i just steer away like just being my own i think

197

because you try not to be in a box sometimes it makes you in a box

198

if you get what i mean you know i don't know about you guys

199

but sometimes i realize that that happens for me

200

and i think you just need to live every day what

201

we have every day our past doesn't matter the future also

202

doesn't matter what we have is just right now you know i mean right now is the only thing

203

that matters right now is what matters you don't need to

204

worry about tomorrow you just need to worry about today today is what matters it's given moment

205

because it's all you have and i think that's lessens

206

so much stress you know and it's just

207

that important like life is just a series of events okay just things

208

that happens right and there's no finishing line dude It doesn't have to be like a line like this.

209

It's just constantly moving, you know, life.

210

I think like some of us,

211

like we see life as,

212

oh, it has to be to a certain goal.

213

And I think that makes life very,

214

not boring, but it makes life very, not that exciting.

215

And it can also put a lot of pressure on you when life isn't going that way.

216

Because I don't think life is a destination.

217

I personally believe that as I've gotten older is just time passing, you know.

218

And it's still hard for me to accept that because sometimes I'm like living in an environment that's so fast.

219

It makes me feel like I need to be moving fast,

220

you know, but life is just passing You can have your own beliefs on what life means.

221

Like i'm not here to tell you what life means,

222

you know But person for me,

223

I just think life is meaningless in a way You don't have a meaning on this fucking planet

224

And I think that's good because I think that you get to do what you want to do You know,

225

you don't have to have like a meaning you just have to do something

226

that makes you happy You going out to grab a coffee.

227

There's no meaning in that.

228

There's nothing you're insignificant.

229

You're literally insignificant

230

yeah that sounds a little sad sometimes but sometimes to me

231

when i say it like when there's

232

so much thoughts in my head like i'm like oh my god what what is xyz gonna think about me

233

when i do this you know it makes me feel insignificant

234

and i'm like i'm just a little piece of dot like

235

literally just very insignificant in this floating piece of rock in this universe

236

and i'm like okay then me dressing up putting on a crazy fucking outfit to go outside

237

and take some photos okay why do i give a fuck

238

like why do i care like it doesn't matter anymore like i'm just like okay

239

i'm just here i'm just here existing i think it's very

240

important for us to just be in like being you that's very important

241

and i think that sometimes we forget

242

and i think i truly feel the happiest

243

when i feel like i am enough i know might not make sense to some of you guys

244

but i've mentioned this so many times

245

that i need to work on this it's just something

246

that has taken me a lot of time to work on like you're enough you know

247

and i think that sometimes i put things where it's like oh i'm only enough

248

if i accomplish certain things i'm only enough

249

if i end up at xyz goal it happens ever since

250

i was a kid ever since i was like fucking the

251

middle of school you know it's a really weird mentality like

252

truly i feel like the happiest people are the people who just realize

253

that they are enough you don't need to do xyz you are enough you know

254

and i think

255

that in a culture where it's like you constantly want to

256

improve you constantly want to do better i think that's good to want you to improve yourself

257

but at the same time you're also constantly looking for flaws

258

you're constantly always like i'm not enough i'm not enough it's

259

a weird sort of thing you know it's like it's good to want to improve yourself

260

but at the same time it's also always picking yourself apart at least for me is

261

that i am enough right now i am good

262

but there's still something i want to improve

263

but i am enough like i know i can get there

264

i'm still enough right now like i need to constantly clock myself you know you need to realize

265

that you're not inferior to others okay that's very important

266

because i feel like

267

when you put yourself as inferior to like we're all equal we're all human beings i think that's very important

268

because once you put someone on a pedestal then it gets wonky then it gets weird

269

because then it's like if you put someone on a pedestal it's gonna be weird now

270

so you're gonna be like oh some people are are below

271

me some people are above me like yes sometimes i'm like

272

oh like haters are below me that's something i need to

273

change my thinking of like yes like haters like they're insignificant

274

i don't want to think about them i think maybe like

275

reframing your thought like i'm just not gonna care about the

276

haters you know at the end all of us were equal okay i think

277

that that can help with your inferior inferiority complex i don't know what i'm saying right

278

because usually when people feel inferior they have a sort of superiority complex to make themselves feel better okay

279

and for me that happened with me

280

because i feel like i don't have enough self-worth i feel like i need to be doing something more

281

and doing something more to cover that but the thing is

282

that trust me when i tell you from experience nothing can fix

283

that if you don't look within no amount of achievement no amount of things

284

that you do no amount of money can make you make

285

that go away

286

if you don't feel like you're enough none of that's gonna fix it maybe for some people maybe

287

but coming from my experience doesn't work it doesn't work unless I do the work myself internally, okay?

288

Nothing external can fix that.

289

Maybe it might help.

290

Maybe it might like distract you, maybe.

291

But to truly fix that,

292

you have to just really sit with it and tell yourself, I'm enough.

293

It takes a long time and it's not easy work.

294

I think going into this year,

295

I think that I need to stop caring about what people think because sometimes I'm like,

296

oh, people might think explosively, you know?

297

And one of the biggest things for me is that I feel like at least this year,

298

I feel like I'm a very efficient person.

299

Like I've said this before,

300

But I also feel like i'm a little too efficient

301

when very practical with things like if I don't need to do I don't need to do,

302

you know, I don't know

303

if you guys realize I don't take pictures I really don't take pictures

304

and that's such a weird thing when you think about it

305

because i'm just I don't need to do that But it's like the little tiny things,

306

you know, and sometimes I don't give a fuck about the little tiny things I'm,

307

like if it's if I don't need to do it i'm not doing it And i'm like,

308

why don't you do that though?

309

You know and you you guys see me when I dress up like I dress very like comfortable,

310

which is not a bad thing You know,

311

I think as i've gotten older,

312

I feel like I just dress very comfortably

313

and I don't think there's anything wrong with that

314

But a part of it that's not good that I don't really mention is that I think I'm getting scared.

315

I get scared of being perceived when I dress up.

316

Who cares?

317

This is my life.

318

I get to wear whatever I want.

319

And I'm like, I don't want to do too much.

320

But it's like, who cares if you do too much, you know?

321

Like, I live this life for myself.

322

And it's like, if people think that way,

323

then they can think that way, you know?

324

If I want to dress up,

325

I want to dress up, you know?

326

And I'm scared of sometimes doing things differently.

327

I think I'm an adaptable person.

328

I just don't think I like adapting.

329

I do not prefer it.

330

I don't like it.

331

Like it doesn't do well for me emotionally,

332

but I can adapt if I have to.

333

I'm not the best with change.

334

I don't prefer change.

335

I feel like this year I want to go about life

336

where I try not to think too much about what other people are thinking.

337

Like I always say, to be cringe is to be free.

338

I just want to do things my way, you know?

339

Some people might judge you for it.

340

Some people might be, oh, she's being cringe.

341

Like, why is she doing that?

342

So be it, you know?

343

That's just what it is.

344

It's just how people view you and it's just none of our business, you know?

345

So as long as you're happy and you challenge yourself,

346

not every day, but sometimes you can just push yourself a little It's a good thing,

347

you know, because that's how you become another version of yourself, okay?

348

Anyways, that's just a video that I really wanted to talk about today

349

and how we just shouldn't try to control things Just let things take its course and just control what you can't control,

350

which is yourself and what you do, right?

351

What people think about you really doesn't matter

352

if they do think about you too much It's just because they have too much time on their hands, okay?

353

So anyways, I hope this video helped you guys out and I really hope that you take this advice into 2026.

354

I think it's very beneficial for everyone, okay?

355

Anyways, I will see you guys all very, very soon.

356

And until then, make sure to dress warm.

357

I don't know when this will be posted.

358

I don't know if the next video is going to be into New Year's,

359

but I hope you guys have an amazing New Year's,

360

dress warm, and also Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, okay?

361

Anyways, I'll see you guys super, super soon.

362

Bye, guys!
