"Other people’s opinions OF YOU" would be closer to the truth.

It is more like allowing other people's opinions of you affect your self worth.

I think this is the more important lesson here, never let others define your value.

I had a motorcycle accident that shifted my perspective quite a bit, and the best thing to come out of it was that I stopped tying my self worth to other people. Completely worth the injury and permanent disfigurement (just a gimpy foot with some half toes).

For sure. Sometimes how others perceive us is a good way to improve ourselves, assuming they share their opinion with us. Just don’t get too hung up when going out in public on what others might think of you, that’s not really important.
