I did it, my way...

[Gralian]

I have an anxiety disorder. As such, i tend to always be hyper-sensitive to criticism and the judgements of others. Often i am met with the challenge of deciding to do something that i would like, much to the chagrin of others, whether that be the case or not. So, as a result, i buckle under the perceived pressure for the sake of keeping and maintaining airs and graces.

I decided to look up songs that dealt with just not caring about what other people think, about just doing what you want, without worrying about the reception of those around you. I found the odd one or two, and then i came across the classic song by Sinatra. It's not so much about rejecting the judgements of others as it is a song about making your own choices in life, regardless of the consequences, good or bad. I love that message; the song is so inspirational and full of passion.

I'm wondering if anyone else can suggest songs like this, or on the theme of not caring about what other people think. Also, if anyone has any personal stories revolving around that theme, please do share. Songs, inspirational quotes, moments from a good film or book, anything!

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

This is my favorite representation.


*****, I don't care what you think. I'm awesome anyway!

Sinatra is great as well.

In Michael Jackson's 90's movie "Moonwalker" there's a segment where he sings about how the media is getting down on him and they just need to leave him the hell alone, complete with one part where he just sings about how he doesn't give a flying crapcake what they think of him.

Also, look up Courage Wolf, that guy will make a man outta you. Just avoid Depression Dog, because, well, he is what he does, and he does it well.

It's worth noting that before I found Dragonforce and got into metal, I had no spine whatsoever. I feel the most alive, the most powerful both physically and mentally when I'm in a metal-fueled rage.

Grunge seems built around this entire concept really.

So yeah, go with Alice in chains, as they're my favorite. If you want recent start with your decision. If you want classic, start with um... start with I stay away, or nutshell. Yeah, nutshell will probably be better.

I don't think this is the right forum to ask, nor the correct form, actually it seems like a horrible post. Your post over extends, lacks spunk and its a little dull, and Sinatra? Humm, its actually a rewrite of a French song by Paul Anka, get the facts right. Also, really? Buckle under pressure? What are we teens?

Sorry, sorry, i couldn't resist to tease an anxiety disorder poster

On topic, you might agree or not, but for me this songs convey that meaning:

As for quote: I chose not to choose life, I chose something else.

That brought a smile to my face. Been a while since I've seen that. So, for that, I thank you.

Frank Sinatra, My Way.
I'm pretty sure you got the title from this song...

Punk Rock is what gets me through the day personally, I also seem to have social anxiety problems...

 

[GreyMorality]

I think this might be appropriate.
