Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has shared why she remains unbothered by negative criticism. The ‘Bloody Samaritan’ star believes that many of her critics are struggling with depression and poverty, making it pointless to worry about their opinions.
In a recent interview with Dose Society, Starr expressed that people’s opinions and perceptions hold little importance to her. “Trust me, people are living their lives. Everybody is busy. People are hungry. Stop caring and stop thinking about what people think about you. People are hungry, tired. Life is hard. Just do you,” she said.
She emphasized that overthinking others’ thoughts is a waste of time, as many are preoccupied with their own struggles. “Sometimes, you’re there overthinking, ‘what does this person think about me?’ Then, they’re just like, ‘what’s gonna happen today? Am I gonna make it home?’”
Starr advised focusing on oneself and building self-confidence without fear of failure. “There’s a lot happening in the world, and if you spend your time thinking about what people think about you, you’re just gonna waste time. Do you, find yourself. Be confident in yourself. Don’t care about the outcome. Just do. Don’t be afraid to fail. Fail as many times as you want to but when you get it right, you’re going to be so proud of yourself,” she concluded.
