Now I think that is good advice, it would be a waste of energy to always be worried about what people think of you. I've had that attitude lately where I don't care, especially at work. The problem is that I might be putting out negative energy or I might be projecting this attitude where I think I'm better than everyone.

Another problem is what I think of other people I work with. I believe that they don't meet the standard of there position and role in the work place. I would like to tell them how I feel because it has been irritating me lately. Yet I don't want them to think that I am a know it all. Do I just have a fear of what people think of me? Does it seem like I have a problem with standing up for my beliefs?
Unfortunately, no matter what you think, you don't have the power to change other people.

Instead of trying to figure out how your co-workers could be better, look for ways YOU could be better.

I feel your pain, but sitting around worrying about them gives them control over you.

I recommend a book called QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Personal Accountability in Work and in Life.

It will really change how the way you see things at work.
