I would have to say that people inspire me or more so peoples' lack in confidence in me. When someone tells me I can't do something, or that they don't believe that I will go through with something....that inspires me. It pushes me to prove to them (and myself) that I can do whatever said thing is. I may not do it right away, and I may not do it well...but I will do it.
I guess that's more of a motivation thing....but it's inspiring at the same time in my mind.
Does wanting to prove myself to others mean that I really do care what other people think of me? I've always said that I don't care. Sure I want people to like me, (it's never a good thing to find out people don't like you or think you're angry or mean or rude) but just because I want to prove someones idea or perception of me wrong doesn't mean I care....does it? To my mind it's always about wanting (or needing) to prove to myself that what they see of me is incorrect. It's not for their benefit, it's for mine. For me. To know that I am a good, kind person. Hmmm.
