The world is really a much simpler place if you assume that any concerns you haven't personally experienced are imaginary.

It's not the the concerns are imaginary, it's that they are inconsequential. Everyone will have an opinion about everything they interact with; this is the human experience. You can't control the fact that others will form opinions about you and your actions, but you can control how you react regarding this.
