You’re not as self aware as you think you are. None of us are.
That’s why feedback from people who want to see you win is so important.
Ignoring opinions of others doesn’t make you strong, it makes you blind to how you’re coming off.
It also limits you.
Research shows that people who are self aware perform better at work, lead more effectively, and get promoted more often. Not to mention that they also tend to have better relationships and report generally being happier.
Sure, “I don’t care what people think” sounds empowering, but if you never care, you stop learning.
So before you write off feedback as just “other people’s opinions,” ask yourself: is there truth to it and can I use it to improve myself?
