If you do this

I can bet that no one wants to be a slave. No one of you. You're all happy to be born at a time when you aren't ruled by anyone and even have the opportunity of achieving financial independence.

It's like you're at a time where you never need to be a slave. But you know what? You are a slave.

You're still a slave. You're a slave to other people's opinions. If you live, eat and sleep according to other people's opinions. Then you're nothing but a slave. And many think, Oh! I don't care what other people think.

And guess what you're lying to yourself. The simple fact that you talk about this is a testament to the fact that you think about other people's opinions. But I'll show you, two ways you can actually stop caring about other people's opinions easily.

1. Care a Lot

To stop caring about something you have to care about something a lot. If you care a lot about your mental wellbeing, you will never take the job that you know is going to ruin your mental health. If you care about your diet, you won't care about the people who say it's weird to measure what you eat. Care about something so much that you don't even have the mental energy to care about the other.

2. Acceptance

Just accept the fact that you're going to care about other people's opinions of you. It's just a fact. You will never actually stop caring about what other people think.

Because, your brain is designed in a way to always care about your status in the social hierarchy because it was a matter of life and death back when you were a caveman. And that programming still exists in your brain.

So, Stop Denying it and just accept it. Accept that you're always going to care. But even after caring about other people's opinions you can still do what you like. Yes, It seems impossible but it is possible.

I care about what other are gonna think if I don't go for an MBA because that is the next natural step but I'm not going to do that because it doesn't makes sense to make. I care about their opinion but still value mine over theirs.

So, Stop Saying that You Don't Care. Because Deep Inside You Know You Do. Just Accept and Do Things As You Please.
