“I don’t care what you think.”

You hear people say that all the time, but do they really mean it? I don’t think so. There is something unique in our species, or maybe just to the average American citizen, that makes us aware of other people and how they judge us: as well desire that we be viewed in a favorable light.

What is it that makes us crave evaluation?

more things to come on this train of thought later
