Here Are 8 Things I Don't Care About, And Neither Should You

Last updated November 18, 2021 by Katie M.

I often laze about instead of putting on my sneakers to go running. Other people might think my favorite group is uncool, but I know all their albums off by heart. So what? There’s no better way to be happy than to let go of the pressure and detach yourself from the gaze of others to be yourself. In any case, I feel much better since I stopped attaching importance to all that. In order for us to all let go together, I will reveal to you 8 things I don’t care about, and it feels good!

8 Things that I've decided to stop worrying about
Editor’s note: Why don’t you give it a bit of a rest?

I don’t have children yet, but when I do, we’ll have an ‘I don’t care’ attitude in our family. I will teach them not to care about anything that prevents them from being happy. We all have a limited amount of energy, so you’ll agree that devoting ourselves to things that really matter is the best thing we can do. And we don’t care about the rest!

8 Things that I've decided to stop worrying about

I've never felt freer and at this moment in time.

1. Other people's opinions? I don’t give a damn, I’m living my life.

Whatever I say or do, there will always be someone to criticize or judge me. So, as not to waste my time and energy trying to control everything, I’m myself. When it’s not society formatting us, it’s our loved ones criticizing our choices… And when are we supposed to live, then?

As a teenager, the slightest hair out of place drove me crazy, terrified by the thought of becoming the laughingstock of the school. Now, I do my shopping with no make-up on, in my tracksuit, and EVERYTHING IS FINE.

2. I'm far from perfect, but why would I care?

I will never achieve it for the simple reason that I’m neither a robot, nor an Instagram photo. Feeling blue? Feeling down? These reactions are part of real life. Nobody is on top form 24/7, both mentally and physically, as my cute little round belly will confirm.

3. The “right” thing to do? Think about myself.

Wanting to satisfy your friends, suit your colleagues, help your family… I’d like to know how the person who does everything manage to do so without getting tired! Learning to say no avoids any emotional overload. I’ve stopped trying to keep both parties sweet because I don’t see an umpire’s hat on my head. I just see myself with my values, my desire to remain integral and my priorities.

4. The past? I leave it in the past.

Mine or that of my nearest and dearest. The first maintains hatred and resentment, and the second fosters jealousy because there’s a 99.99 % chance that my boyfriend wasn’t a virgin when we met. By replaying these bad memories, I miss the present and above all, I don’t move forward. Not a great result.

5. I’m different, but that's a good thing!

A friend has just posted her sport session on social media. And I’m here with my tub of ice cream and my romance novel. Who cares! I’ve stopped comparing myself and feeling guilty because I’m free to be me. If that bothers other people, tough. By being comfortable with myself, I attract others with my true personality. In other words, I create sincere and solid bonds without tiring myself out acting.

“Not caring doesn’t mean being indifferent. It means we’re comfortable with the idea of being different,” said Mark Manson.

6. Failure? I see it as a lesson.

In life, not only is failure inevitable, but it’s above all indispensable, it’s what makes us grow. If I don’t learn how to fail, I will fail to learn. Since I understood that, I can swallow it much better.

7. Accidents? They happen to the best of us.

I know what it’s like to have my day ruined. How many times have I arrived to work annoyed (and late) because of a nasty toothpaste stain on my nice blouse? After thinking about it, I realized that my reaction was just as stupid as the reasons for getting annoyed. Now, I put it into perspective.

8. Whose fault is it? Do we really need to know?

“You started it!”

Unless we’re still stuck at nursery, this kind of sentence should never come out of our mouths again. It’s the soul of a child we should keep, not the mentality. Now that I’m a thoughtful adult, I don’t wear myself out trying to find out who was right and who was wrong. Finding solutions to problems takes less energy than identifying the culprit, and it’s more productive.

Editor’s note: Why don’t you give it a bit of a rest?

Life is complicated enough without adding stress with things that aren’t worth it, even if it’s always easier said than done. Nor is it necessary to achieve exploits or achieve the ultimate life goal to be happy, so let’s give it a rest. However, keep in mind that:

Not caring doesn’t mean being indifferent, it’s rather the art of learning to be comfortable with what makes us different and asserting ourselves as we are.
When we decide not to care about something, we have to give importance to something more important — take the time to identify what’s important for you and what’s not.

What Are The 6 Types Of Narcissism?

There are a whole range of narcissistic personalities out there, and they scale from highly toxic to rather positive (surprising, right?!). That being said, most mental health experts agree that there are 6 types of narcissistic profiles, which whilst they may all be based on an inflated sense of self-esteem, they are in reality all drastically different, and more or less severe. When it comes to dealing with this type of personality disorder, it’s best to know what you are up against, in order to react appropriately, as well as to avoid falling into their traps and becoming their latest victim. After all, knowledge is power, and that’s never be truer than in this particular context.

10 Weird Things Narcissists Do Sexually - Romance Is Dead

As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. 🙈 Discover the weird things narcissists do in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.

Are Narcissists Born Or Made? - Let's Settle The Debate

There you have it, the nature vs nurture debate is back, only this time I want to focus it on those deviously manipulative personalities we refer to as narcissists. Now, evidently these folks get bad press and rightly so because they are often at the root of plenty of harm, but is it really their fault? Can they really be blamed for their terrifying and perhaps inherent traits, or are they simply just products and in this case victims of their environments? Let’s settle this debate once and for all and figure out how and when this disorder becomes apparent. So, are you born a narcissist or is it developed?

Why Your Boyfriend Gets Defensive When You Talk About My Feelings

Relationships are never exactly straightforward, and at points, a crystal ball wouldn’t go amiss when it comes to understanding what your partner’s reactions are hiding. Now, sadly not all of us own a trusty crystal ball, but our experience when it comes to love is just as precious in analyzing potential pitfalls related to emotions. This may sound a little cliché, but us girls love talking about our feelings, whether that be about when we are falling in love, or when we are feeling sad. Yet some guys get really defensive whenever these serious topics come round, here’s why.

How Long Will A Narcissist Rebound Relationship Last?

Narcissist rebound relationships generally last anywhere from 6-months to a year. Now, whilst the timeframe depends on each individual, these twisted personalities usually head into these relationships with a plan in mind, meaning they know exactly when and where they'll break things off. Plus, when they are in the final stages of a relationship with you, they are no doubt in the process of grooming their next victim. That's right, the need for a constant narcissistic supply means that they aren't likely to date any one person for an extensive period of time. For them, they require fresh blood every 6-months or so because they simply get bored. Let's take a look at the reasons why they keep their rebounds short, but not so sweet.

Is Sleeping With A Colleague Or Your Boss A Dangerous Game?

I’ve had a crush on someone at work before. Honestly, if I hadn’t found out later that he was in a relationship, I’d have gone all out to seduce him. Except that we all know the “No sex at work” rule, which means that it’s a bad idea to sleep with a colleague, or worse, your boss! Is it really that dangerous a game? What do you risk if you’re caught in the act? I’ll explain it all to you (yes, I did my homework before going for it)!

I’m Having Doubts About My Relationship

This happens often. Since life in a relationship, and even love, are never a smooth ride, of course, I have my doubts 😵‍💫. Not on the same wavelength, the impression that the grass is greener on the other side, different plans… Under the weight of doubts, love loses its splendor. Can it be fixed? I don’t think so, but the important thing is to know how to react.

What Is Candaulism?

Now, many of you are no doubt scratching your head wondering what candaulism means, but some of you must already know by now, and that would explain the recent spike in Google searches for the term. Candaulism is in fact a sexual practice in which a man exposes his female partner or photos of her, to other consenting people. This particular fantasy is therefore associated with exhibitionism. Although that’s not all, the term can also apply to a male partner watching his girlfriend or wife making love to someone else. So, let’s take a peep (get it?) at this practice.

Create a Peaceful Living Space

For years, I didn’t really take care of my home. Not that it was dirty, but there was no particular decoration, and most of all, a lot of clutter. Then one day, I decided to do a major decluttering! I thought it would be a dreadful task, but in the end, I realized that organizing my apartment also helped clear my mind. We often overlook this, but having a peaceful living space truly makes a difference!

Mature Love: How Do Relationships Evolve Over Time?

They say that love is like fine wine: it evolves, matures, and becomes even more delightful with time. I say "they say," but in reality, I’m certain of it. Even though I’m single as I write this article, I’ve experienced long-lasting love stories, and there’s nothing quite like reaching mature love—the kind that provides security and support. That’s why today, I want to talk to you about how romantic relationships evolve!
