We get fruits of our own karma through the grace of god but still due to brainwashing since childhood we waste so much time and energy on what other people think about us.

Anything written in scriptures on how not to care about what other people think about us ?

You require to recognize happiness sadness, pleasure-pain are temporary like seasons and you require to fix your mind on Ishvara and follow Dharma this teaching is repeated in Upanishads, Gita and by many Rishis.

We require to be equidisposed to both praise and criticism ,to desirable and undesirable.

Bhagavad Gita 12.17

Those who neither rejoice in mundane pleasures nor despair in worldly sorrows, who neither lament for any loss nor hanker for any gain, who renounce both good and evil deeds, such persons who are full of devotion are very dear to Me.

Bhagavad Gita 12.18 - 12.19

Those, who are alike to friend and foe, equipoised in honor and dishonor, cold and heat, joy and sorrow, and are free from all unfavorable association; those who take praise and reproach alike, who are given to silent contemplation, content with what comes their way, without attachment to the place of residence, whose intellect is firmly fixed in Me, and who are full of devotion to Me, such persons are very dear to Me.
