So, disastrous self-image. How can I stop caring about what other people think?

So I hate myself for several reasons, which I won't go into. Unlikely to change. Right now all I care about is what other people think of me, since I do not trust myself to give myself an accurate evaluation of my self-worth. ("worthless" is more like it.) So if someone thinks I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If someone thinks I'm stupid, I'm stupid. Without anything to defend (like a self-image) how do you handle this?

Who gave anyone else power over how you see yourself.? ...... if you believe what they say ... you did....

look at those who judge you they all have flaws ... no one is perfect.....

people put others down not IMO expecting you to buy into their thoughts......... but to make themselves feel superior......

everyone who is often critical or openly tried to put me down .... were flawed people whom thought by putting others down made them better ........it does not makes them pathetic.

Example i went to work and person who did job before me did it differently and is furious my way is working faster with better results so she TRIES to find fault and flaws not because the work is not done but she wants to be right..... i just feel sorry for her because in the big picture of life if this bothers her so much she will never handle real issues.
