Other People's Opinions

I'd like to call a time-out on all unnecessary opinions. Just my opinion ;)

Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

[4-panel comic strip about experiencing information overload in an opinion-saturated modern world. In panel 1, a cartoon girl with a bun raises a hand to her temple in exhaustion. In panel 2, she cradles her head in her hands, covering her ears. Caption reads, "I am so tired -- of other people having opinions." In panel 3, she has popped her head off her shoulders and is holding it under her arm, saying "I just want a place to rest my head." In panel 4, she has placed her head on a pillow cushion on the floor, as her headless body walks off the frame. There's a beat and the caption reads, "Has life always been this strange?" Original cartoon titled "Other People's Opinions" by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2022.]

Yes it has, Connie.
Just remember that those people who are quickest to criticise your ways and opinions wouldn't even consider changing theirs to please you.
There are nearly 8 billion people in the world, and each and every one has an opinion on anything you care to name. Yours is just as valid as theirs.

Hi Connie, my name is Elise and I am a family doctor in training in The Netherlands. For my training we have monthly meetings with a tutor where we have to discuss certain things that 'bother' us or that we want to learn from. Your cartoon comes really close to the feeling I want to share with my tutor. Can I use it for this educational purpose?

Hi Elise, yes, you have my permission to share this cartoon, unaltered (not cropped or edited) for your meeting. Good luck and thanks for asking! - Connie
