How do you grow thick skin mentally? How does a brain not care about someone’s opinion?

What I always hear is “grow thick skin”. I guess there should be a process to do that or a mental training. But how?

I don’t talk about insensitivity or sociopath behaviour, but more like being toughy when it comes to little problem.

I don’t have the answer, but I believe this “weakness” is mostly socially taught. When you are a little kid, you don’t care about other’s opinions, or potential avenues of failure. You do what you want to do and succeed/fail.

You have to keep this outlook on what you do. Having thick skin is accepting that things might not go the way you want them to, but still doing them.

“How does a brain not care about someone’s opinion?” Your brain don’t naturally think about that, you do. Why should care about someone’s opinion? Answering this question might lead you to what helps “growing thick skin”.
