It is physically and neurologically impossible for you to control what somebody thinks inside their own head. Just consider the fact that the average human being has about 70,000 random thoughts a day. Most of which are completely random and cannot be controlled.
Which is why it's ludicrous to waste any of your energy worrying about what other people think or try to change what they think. You can't even control half the thoughts of pop in your own mind. Why the heck do you think you can control what pops up in someone else's mind? You can't. It is scientifically impossible.
That's why the let them theory is so revolutionary. Instead of fearing other people's opinions, you're just going to allow them to think what they want. In fact, I recommend that you assume people will think negative thoughts about you because people do have negative thoughts about you. This is normal. Embrace it. Accept it. Instead of trying to change reality, which is driving you crazy, use it to your advantage. Let them.
