I totally get what you're saying. Observing people and thinking about people go hand in hand. I took this more as like, don't let fear of what others think of you to impact life decisions.

I read an article about this. It was one of those build yourself up type things. Like, worrying about how you look in a swimsuit and being self conscious. People are typically so self absorbed in their own selves that they don't pay attention to anyone else.
