The older you get, the less other people’s opinions weigh. Speed that up on purpose.

The weight other people’s opinions carry tends to drop on its own over time, mostly because you accumulate evidence that their judgment mattered far less than it felt like it did. Waiting for that to arrive naturally costs years. You can run the same reasoning early and land in the same place sooner. None of it requires becoming hard or indifferent.

Think of a comment that stung a year ago and ask what it actually changed. Usually the answer is very little. Carry that answer into the next thing someone says about you.
