Worrying about what other people think about you can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, there are situations that a person's opinion is something that you have to worry about, like at a job interview. On the other hand, it can be a bad situation to be concerned about someone else's opinion about you, like in the case of you reaching for your goals.
When you are headed to a job interview there are a few things that you must keep in mind. You have to be dressed appropriately. That means, as a woman, you shouldn't wear anything too short and too tight or too shiny and too sparkly. You should also not wear stripper heels or makeup that you could see on the runway of an avant garde fashion show. If you do any of these things you could run the risk of your interviewer thinking ill of you. No responsible employer is going to hire the chick that may or may not be moonlighting as a stripper or prostitute. So yes put your best foot forward as the opinion of someone else is important. This however, is one of the only times you may need to be concerned about someone else's opinion.
Now, most every other time, you shouldn't really care so much about other people's opinion of you. This is not to say that you should not be respectful of yourself and others. You should always be respectful. Now, when you are pursuing your dreams and you have goals set for your life, you should not be concerned about what others think about you. First of all, you really don't know what others are thinking unless they tell you. Second, if it is your vision, then no one else is allowed to have any say so. They don't know what was given to you for your vision so they can't possibly have a valid opinion. So now you must get past the voices in your head that are keeping you from what you want because you are afraid of the thoughts of someone else's.
