I think it's pretty obvious and I think it's inhuman to not want some kind of feedback from your peers, it's not really so much as a question of do we care what others think, but who's opinions of us, matter to us, and who's don't. The reason I say this is because look at you, right now, you're on a forum reading this post, so clearly you want your opinion heard and you want to voice it as well as listen to others, so of course you care what others think. We all don't have skin so thick that we can tune out the world and those around us. We can however definitely tune out those that bother us, as bronies a lot of us are probably really familiar with this. I go to a community high school as well, a high school to make up credits faster, it's where a lot of the druggies and arrogant people end up, thankfully I'll be done with it soon, but it has really taught me how to tune things out. There's so much hysteria with what's going on with ebola and all, and them making fun of me wearing my little pony shirts, I just get all A's and know that they're not going anywhere so what they say will never really matter, but of course there is always that one voice or one word that gets to me. I have to calm down and try not to think about what they say. So yes I care what people say and think, I think we all do.
