Mark Indelicato Quotes

Everybody is going to have an opinion on you; not everyone is going to like you. You can't live your life based on other people's opinions of you or let that change what you do or how you feel about yourself, because then you're not living.

Not everyone loves me, but I have to be okay no matter what they think about me.

In my heart I know what kind of person I am, and that's good enough.

I don't really care what other people see me as. I seriously don't. I've always worried about what my opinion of myself is. And I've always thought that it carries most weight. So I don't care what other people's opinion of me is or how they view whatever I've said or done.

Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.

I wish when I was 17, somebody had told me not to care so much about what other people had thought.

All I can do is be my best - there will always be people who will never like me.

Magazines and opinions of you and stuff like that, those will change, but your opinion of yourself does not have to based on what other people say. So I just learned that my inner voice has to be louder than their outside voice.

I take great pride in being who I am. Whether I'm broken or not, I am who I am.

I realized that I really couldn't worry about what people think of me.

Focus on your opinion of yourself and not the opinion others have of you.

Self-love, it is obvious, remains always positive and active in our natures.

If we went by the world's definition of who I'm supposed to be because I look weird... 'Well, surely, this guy can't have a productive life, surely, he doesn't have a sense of humor. Surely, he can't love life.' We stereotype people in this world. And so... if the world thinks you're not good enough, it's a lie, you know. Get a second opinion.

I am proud of who I am, and nobody's going to steal that.

You are enough, which I believe is critical for any human being to get in their bones.
