      People who say they don't care what others think of them are a) Speaking of specific groups of people they don't want to impress, b) highly neurologically atypical or mentally ill, c) lying to present a certain image thus caring what people think of them.

      Caring what others think of us has formed us as a species. This is why we have what Jonathan Haidt called 'an inner lawyer, rather than an inner scientist', experience being wrong as so embarrassing and have to work so hard against confirmation bias.

      This is why public shaming is such an awful experience. It really cannot be diminished because its affects are psychological rather than physical. For many, getting seriously injured in their body is preferable to being seriously injured in their reputation. The former heals.

          This is also a truth that gets co-opted by those who argue that speech is violence. Using the claim that psychological pain is processed in the same brain areas as physical, while ignoring other factors.

          It's why the first thing we often do when we fall is not check if we're OK, but check whether anyone saw it happen.

          I offer a dissenting opinion. I would think most of the time it's they don't care what people think that are outside of their trusted social network. The others are highly unlikely and this would be the most common usage of the phrase. Hence the "other" people.
