The question “Should I care what other people think (of me)?” is a red herring. One is being bated into answering automatically “no” on the premise that the individual has an inalienable right to pursue his own aims, regardless of circumstances. A better question to ask is whether one “must” care what other people think. The answer to that question is a qualified “yes.” You must care what your landlord will think if you don’t pay the rent on time. You must care whether the police officer behind you thinks you were speeding. Such examples abound.
