How does that "who cares" (who cares what others think) attitude work cause it doesn't really do much for me. :(

Life has blessed me with apathy. But I'm not sure if you're complaining about a lack or an overabundance of it.

If a little apathy is what you lack, fear not. You, too, can learn to just not give a f:eek:.

Your friends think you need to get out more? F--- 'em! They're not you.

It's hot and you think you could use a shower before going out with your friends? F--- it! Real friends don't care if you're a little ripe when it's hot out.

You want to wear your sister's dress and a string of fake pearls to high school on Dress Up Day, even though you'll be changing in the boys' locker room for gym class? F--- it! You know you're not a cross-dresser or a homosexual (no offense to those who are).

But beware! This attitude is best acquired a bit at a time. Too much too fast might lead to a lack of fear and trepidation.

On second thought, f--- it.

:D
 
The simple truth is that everyone cares. Even those whom say they don't. It's human nature to care about what others think of you, we are social creatures after all (and yes, I'm fully aware of the irony of that. Us being on this site and all :rolleyes:). What is important, is that you remind yourself that their opinions are merely that; opinions.

Most of the time they are poorly thought through. Bluntly taken off the the top of their heads by following evolutionary outdated instincts. And those opinions, especially when they regard shallow subjects like appearance and small irrelevant behavioral traits, are often incorrect and invalid. And thus, don't really matter.

Once you know that they don't matter, you can try and put them behind you.

It's not really possible ''Not to care''. You can however use your reasoning to analyze how much the opinion is worth. Which frankly, most of the time is not that much. ;3

For me, part of it is about being pulled rather than pushed towards something... if that makes any sense to you. If you love something or are attracted to it, then that'll be the thing on your mind... let's say for example that I love collecting cards... then when I'm working, the focus is on being pulled towards that reward... so things like overly stressing about some work issues don't really come into play as often, because that's not the main focus.

Not sure if I explained that properly.. but yeah... that's my two cents worth of thought.
