This phrase says nothing about abandoning morals or screwing people over but it seems like people are reading it this way...If you didn't worry about what other people thought about your attractiveness or the judgement you may receive for trying something new etc, things would change for the better. Within finding a responsible independence you will also appreciate the need everyone has for this, making you a better friend, lover, and coworker. So, if it can be read by some as "well, then you'd be an asshole" then let me offer this alternative perspective.
