When people say, "I don't care what anyone thinks about me," is that a defense mechanism?

Just checking my experience against Fluther’s.
The people I’ve heard say (or seen write), “I don’t care what other people say about me,” seem to be the ones most affected by what other people think. It seems they are saying it to pre-empt negative comments. But in fact they are prone to hurt feelings.
“I am not prepared to do anything to alter your inevitable opinion of me,” seems closer to the truth.
Does that meet with your experience?
