Summary

This quote suggests that people tend to over-analyze and worry about the opinions of others, when in reality, others pay little attention to them. The message is that people are too concerned with their own lives and struggles to consistently focus on judging or thinking about others. Therefore, if individuals could recognize this truth, they would feel less anxious and self-conscious about the judgment of others, and wouldn't waste unnecessary energy seeking validation or approval from them.
