Yes, I think people do care about what others say about them. Many people look for approval from others, and comments can really affect their self-esteem and confidence. With social media, this has become even more important because everyone can see what others think. For students, peer opinions can be especially important, as they often want to fit in and be accepted by their friends.

Some people don't really care about others' comments. They are confident and trust their own opinions more. With experience, people learn not to be affected by what others say. Also, not everyone uses social media, so they aren't exposed to public opinions as much. Students, too, can learn to focus on their own goals and values, rather than worrying about what others think.

It really depends on the situation and who is giving the comments. People might care more about what their close friends or family say than what strangers think. Constructive criticism is often more valued than negative remarks. In different cultures, the importance of others' opinions can vary. Students might care more about comments in certain situations, like during exams or projects.
