I came across the following sentence in a textbook:
She’a laid-back girl. She never minds others.
It sounded odd to me. I looked up the meaning of the word «mind» in Longman Dictionary and the dictionary says:
to feel annoyed or upset about something
When talking about a person, the same dictionary gives the following definition:
to take care of a child while their parents are not there
SYN look after
«My sister minds the baby while I’m at yoga»
Which of those definitions is applicable, if any? And does the sentence sound natural as it is?

mind has another verb meaning: “regard as important; feel concern about.”
This sense of being concerned about someone or something is used in expressions like “mind the baby”, “mind your manners”, “mind your elders”, or “mind the gap”. This is related to having someone or something “on your mind.”
To not mind others could mean you she doesn’t consider them or their opinions important. That may be why she doesn’t let them upset her, as in the first definition you cited.

There’s nothing wrong with the sentence.
To mind is a little ambiguous between the multiple meanings it has, but the preceding sentence calls the girl in question laid-back. That would fall in line with the first definition more than the second — in other words, the girl in question doesn’t allow herself to be bothered or upset by the presence of other people.
In general, when used in negative, to mind usually means to be bothered by. You could, in theory, use it in a different meaning:
?I was busy yesterday, so I didn’t mind the baby
but it would be a rather unnatural, non-idiomatic construction that most people would interpret as «I had no problem with/wasn’t bothered by the baby» first.

‘Mind’ video tapescript
Do you mind if I have the last one?
No, take it.
Thank you.
This video is about the verb ‘mind’. It’s a tricky verb but very useful for making requests. In this video you’ll learn how to use it correctly.
Let’s ask someone. Excuse me. Would you mind taking a photo for us?
No, not at all.
Thank you.
‘Would you mind…?’ is rather a formal phrase and we might use it if we’re asking a stranger to do something for us. Or we might use it if we’re making a big request.
OK, I’m off.
Oh, are you going past the supermarket?
Yes. But I haven’t got much time.
We need milk.
OK. I can get that.
Good. And would you mind getting these things too?
This is a long list!
Yes, thanks very much.
So we often use this phrase when we think we’re imposing – asking someone to help us when it may not be convenient or pleasant for them.
Miss Carrington, I know this is going to be a bit unpleasant for you, but would you mind stepping into the next room with me?
Aaargh!
So what does the word ‘mind’ actually mean in questions like this? ‘Mind’ means dislike or object to something.
We’d love it if you could come to stay. But do you mind dogs?
Oh that’s good.
If we don’t mind something, we don’t object to it. We don’t find it annoying.
Listen.
What?
The neighbours are playing loud rock music again.
I don’t mind.
We don’t use ‘mind’ in positive sentences. We use it in negative sentences and questions. And something else. Notice how we form the question. If you want to use a verb after ‘mind’ you need to use a gerund – a noun form of the verb. Just add -ing to the verb to make it into a gerund.
Another word that often follows mind is ‘if’. These phrases mean much the same thing and we use them to ask if it’s OK to do things.
Do you mind if I borrow this?
Sure, no problem.
Thank you.
Um, do you mind if I sit here?
Oh no, not at all.
Thank you.
Use this phrase to ask for permission, to check it’s OK to do something. Now how would you answer these questions? If you want to agree, do you say ‘yes’ or do you say ‘no’?
Do you mind if I have the last one?
No, take it.
Thank you.
The answer is ‘no’! Saying no means ‘Yes, it’s OK to do it.’
Would you mind taking a photo of us?
No, not at all
Thank you.
‘No’ means ‘I don’t mind, I don’t object’.
No, not at all.
So if you want to say yes, you say no! Sometimes English is so confusing! OK, now there’s another expression with mind that you’re going to find useful.
Did you post that letter?
You mean this letter?
Never mind. I’ll post it this afternoon.
Never mind is similar to ‘Don’t worry about it’.
So, let’s look at sales. I’m afraid we don’t have this month’s figures yet.
Never mind. We can use last month’s.
Oh good. Last month’s were better.
I can’t open this jar.
Do you want some help?
Oh, never mind. I got it. Thanks anyway.
Good.
So never mind is similar to ‘forget what I just said’. We can use it to take back or withdraw a request.
I can’t get reception. Um. Do you mind if I use your phone?
No.
Oh hang on. Never mind. It’s working.
And that’s it! Now you know how to use the verb ‘mind’ in requests. Let’s see how much you can remember? We use ‘mind’ to ask people to do things for us. What’s the correct ending for this sentence? Taking. After ‘mind’ use a gerund.
We also use ‘mind’ to ask for permission to do things. What’s the missing word here? It’s if.
Now if you say ‘Do you mind if I sit here?’ and I say, ‘No, not at all’ am I agreeing to your request, or disagreeing? I’m agreeing. ‘No’ means I don’t mind, I don’t object. Great!
OK, let’s finish with a different example. As I said, ‘Would you mind…?’ is a fairly formal phrase. We use it with strangers or to make big requests. If we use it with small requests with people we know well, something else is probably going on. Perhaps we’re being sarcastic because we’re annoyed with someone.
I think it’s an interesting idea.
I agree. I think there are possibilities here.
What do you think Jay?
Jay!
What?
Would you mind putting your cell phone away?
Oh sorry!
