Belongingness
Humans have an inbuilt drive to belong and be accepted. This makes us care about what others think of us.
- In the pre-historic times, human beings couldn't survive if they were not part of a group. This makes belongingness part of our genes, which shaped our natural selection.
- In the modern age, as we get more social and mobile, it is no longer necessary to be part of a group, as it is not crucial to be accepted by everyone. It helps to know how to care less about what other people think or do.

If we have our friends, family, a career and a few hobbies, we don't need to attach our identity to a group.

It's Ok To Disappoint Others
It's ok to disappoint others, instead of falling in the trap of doing obligatory and unnecessary work, as many kind and thoughtful people end up doing. It is ok to say NO to others, as the most important task you have is to live up to your core values and your mission.
If people are disappointed with you, it is a revelation that they are selfish, and are not concerned with the wellbeing of others.
