Caring = An emotion/thought in the positive spectrum
Worrying = An emotion/though in the negative spectrum
You should be caring about what people think about you. Definintely. Not caring about other's thoughts is like not caring about other people. You are what you think and that goes for other people as well. So please first determine for yourselves what caring is, since what you have been talking about in this post is obviously worrying what others think.
Worrying serves no good no matter what the object of worry is - other people's thoughts, your health, wealth, habits, growth, etc. Worrying is using intention - manifestation against you since you create what your mind is fixated on. So stop worrying about negative thoughts you imagine that other people are thinking about you.
Care about what people think about you! It's important because it's your source of personal growth. If you care what others think about you, it means their thoughts are not an attack against you ego. It is constructive critisism from their own point of view. You are the one that must cultivate your judgment skill to decide if you should do as people think or the exact opposite of what people think.
Not caring about other's opinions is to tune out a source which can be of great use to you. It's the worrying that you need to eliminate for it is the source of a despondent life that keeps repeating itself.
