Caring what others think as a spike

The good news is I haven't had many thoughts today.  However, anything can be a trigger, including a book.  I am having images that scare me because they take me back to a time when I was trying to overcome obsessions.  The truth of the matter is, what triggered those obsessive thoughts was reading comments from other people.  I am so curious as to what other people think.  The truth is, is that some things are sacred and should be left sacred.  Other people's opinions should never matter for that is all they are, opinions.  I have one and so do every one else.  The best I can do is to let the thoughts pass and embrace the obsessive thoughts and embrace other people even if I don't agree with their opinion. I had to learn that today.  It doesn't matter if the person is fictional or real an opinion is not a fact.  Some people see things differently from others and that is why forums are created.  No two people are exactly alike.  The world would be a boring and a more annoying place if all of us were the same.  I don't want to go back to the times when I am stuck on the opinions of others as if they are facts.  What matters to me is that I have my own opinions of things and keep to those opinions.
