1. Impressing Men
You should be living for yourself. If you impress a man in the process, then that's great. But don't set out to make a guy happy when you should be focusing on making yourself happy.
***
Your worth isn't measured by how much you cater to someone else's expectations or desires. Embrace your authenticity and find joy in things that resonate with you. Whether it's your fashion sense, your career choices, or your hobbies, pursue them because they fulfill you, not to fit into someone else's mold. When you glow with genuine self-contentment, that is inherently alluring. True confidence comes from within and doesn't require anyone else's validation. Remember, self-love is the most attractive feature you can own.
2. Having Perfect Hair and Makeup
It doesn't matter if your hair clip falls out or if your mascara smudges. These things happen.
3. Being Called Crazy
People will call you crazy for doing basic things, like asking where your boyfriend is going when he leaves the house. Don't let their words upset you.
4. Fulfilling Gender Roles
You don't have to sweep the floors, just because you're a woman. If your man wants to do the job, then let him. Gender roles are out of style.
Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.
5. What Others Think of You
Who cares what everyone else thinks of your lifestyle? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

6. How Expensive Your Clothes Are
It doesn't matter if your clothes are designer or if you got them handed down to you from your older siblings. As long as you look cute, does it really matter how much your outfit was?
7. How Many Likes You Get on Instagram
If you don't get any likes on your selfie, it doesn't make you any less beautiful. Don't let social media change your opinion of yourself.
8. How Big Your Boobs Are
It doesn't matter if your breasts are big or small. You should be happy with them at any size.
9. People Who Don’t Care about You
If you know that a certain someone couldn't care less about you, then you shouldn't care about them, either. They don't deserve your attention.
10. How Much Liquor You Can Handle
Don't let others influence the amount you drink. No one is going to like you more, just because you drank four beers instead of two.
***
Remember, your tolerance for alcohol is as unique as you are. Throwing back shots to keep up with the crowd or to fit a certain image isn't just unwise, it's downright dangerous. Your health and well-being should always come first. So, if you're done after one glass of wine, own it with pride. Your body, your rules. Cheers to being responsibly you!
11. Frenemies
You shouldn't waste your time talking to people who act like your friend one second and your enemy the next. There's no time for that.
12. How Many Calories You're Consuming
It's important to eat healthy and treat your body right. However, you don't need to count every single calorie in order to do that.
13. Getting Embarrassed
You can't avoid embarrassment. However, you shouldn't dwell on it. Everyone has awkward moments.
14. Slut Shaming
If you wear a short skirt or have a one-night stand, don't worry about the way other people are looking at you. They shouldn't be slut-shaming in the first place.
15. Shaving
If you forget to shave one day, don't get self-conscious. There's nothing wrong with a little body hair. It's natural.
16. Admitting You're on Your Period
Women have periods. Everyone knows it, so why would you be embarrassed about it?
17. Marriage
Your focus shouldn't be on finding someone to marry, just so you can say you have a husband. Instead, you should focus on finding someone who makes you happy, and worry about the marriage part later.
If you stop giving a damn about everything on this list, you'll be a lot happier. Do you hate how much you care about some of these things?

absolutelyfabulous: Yes, I'm almost 60 & have let go of a lot of worrying about what others think. Wish it didn't take me so long. Divide the housework, men should be doing their part. Slut-shaming..wrong, women are big perps of this. Guys don't do it, cause no shame 4 them.
Heather: This really hit home for me. Its hard to be happy when you're worried what others would think of your lifestyle. My biggest setback is myself when I do all of this worrying.
