I have always struggled with caring too much about what others think in regards to superficialities. How I look, how much money I have, what type of car I drive etc. This was a result of being one of the only brown kids in a small, very white town and then having my parents send me to a private school full of wealthy families while we were anything but wealthy. I have had some success in business and I've done well financially and MUCH of that is a direct result of the girl I crushed on in HS liking the rich guys. I had something to prove because I cared what people thought. To an extent, I have been able to curb this problem, but I still have insecurities regarding to how I think I am being perceived, but it's WAY less prevalent these days. I try, as best I can to make others feel good about themselves.
