Why do people care what others think of them and their relationships?

I mean, it's your right to be happy. And you only have one life to live, so take risks. This is for interracial and rich/poor people relationships.Why do people care what others think of them and their relationships?
It's true for the most part. You need to go with who makes you happy.





But at the same time, sometimes it's not safe.





For instance, being a white guy who dates a black girl in the deep south, in a little podunk town. Being gay in the same sort of place. Living in the ghetto with your significant other when people know that you are from a successful family and have nice things - thus, you become a target for attack.





I was in a relationship with a black girl that caved because nearly no one supported us - even our friends. Couldn't walk anywhere without getting nasty stares, comments, etc. Maybe now as an adult it wouldn't be so bad but as a teenager, it was tough.Why do people care what others think of them and their relationships?
