Nobody Is Thinking About You

“The moment you stop performing for an audience that isn’t watching, you start living for a purpose that won’t let you quit.” — Alejandro Diego Z. Ma Psych

Nobody was ever thinking about you, anyhow. They aren't. They weren't. They never were. People are mostly just thinking about themselves. People don't have time to worry about what you're doing, or how well you're doing it, because they're all caught up in their own dramas.

Read that again. Let it sink in.

The moment you finally understand this truth, a heavy weight will lift off your shoulders. The imaginary pressure you've been carrying—worrying about what others think, second-guessing every move, holding back your potential just to avoid judgment—it's all based on a lie. And here's the hard truth: nobody cares.

Sounds cold, right? Maybe. But it's also freeing.

This isn’t meant to be harsh or disheartening. It’s meant to wake you up.

You’ve been living in a cage built on the assumption that other people’s opinions matter more than your own. You’ve convinced yourself that the world is watching, waiting, ready to judge. But in reality, they’re not. They’re living their lives, dealing with their pain, their insecurities, their ambitions, their chaos. You are not the center of anyone’s universe but your own.
