Nigerian singer, Ayra Starr said she isn’t bothered by negative criticism because people’s opinions and perceptions don’t matter much.
In a recent interview with Dose Society, Ayra Starr explained that everyone is busy dealing with their own problems, such as hunger and exhaustion.
She emphasized that overthinking about others’ opinions is a waste of time, stressing that it’s more important to focus on yourself and be confident.
The singer encouraged people to be themselves, not fear failure, and keep trying until they succeed, as the pride in getting it right will be worth it.
Ayra Starr said: “What matters less? I think opinions and people’s perceptions of you doesn’t [matter].
“Trust me, people are living their lives. Everybody is busy. People are hungry. Stop caring and stop thinking what people are thinking about you. People are hungry, tired. Life is hard. Just do you.
“Sometimes, you’re there overthinking, ‘what does this person think about me?’ Then, they’re just like, ‘what’s gonna happen today? Am I gonna make it home?’
“There’s a lot happening in the world, and if you spend your time thinking about what people think about you, you’re just gonna waste time. Do you, find yourself. Be confident in yourself. Don’t care about the outcome. Just do. Don’t be afraid to fail. Fail as many times as you want to but when you get it right, you’re going to be so proud of yourself.”
