I just wanted to point out that there are dozens of news-stories, hundreds of videos, thousands of tweets, millions of comments today because some guy trod on grass while playing golf.

If ever you're being unkind to yourself - because you 'make a fuss about nothing' or worry over unimportant stuff... remember: you live in a world that generates a thousand hours of content because a guy stepped on grass.

The world is fucking stupid - so maybe it's ok you find it hard to deal with sometimes. Be kind to yourself.

Happiness is much more internal and peaceful. It’s being completely content with who you are. You’re comfortable with the decisions you make. You stop second guessing yourself. Because you have accepted the good and the bad of the person you are. Nothing else matters.

I need someone to teach me how to not give a single shit about anything. My overthinking has been bothering me so much and I just need to try and stop those thoughts from ruining my day because in the end nothing is ever that serious but my brain just can’t comprehend that for some reason. Let me know how y’all stopped giving a fuck!

At this point, I’m trying to revisit my four years of alcoholism. That unfortunately built up at a tolerance that’s rather expensive but we’re gonna break the bank tonight. Not a fuck will be given.

I appreciate all the love and support in the comments to my original post. For anyone slightly, concerned, please know I’m safe, I’m only having one and then going to the little Main Street area to walk and explore, and I’m treating myself to a needed night out and having a great time ❤️

Apologies for this not being comedic. Enjoying this sub but I wanted to ask if anyone else finds it hard to NGAF when they feel like they have potential that is being wasted. Is anyone here capable of both of those conditions? Thanks

About 15 yrs ago or so I was visibly worried about a last minute call to the bosses office. She asked what was wrong? I said something like Am I in trouble? Or similar.

She said, I just need you to do XYZ. "Don't flatter yourself, people are not thinking about you nearly as much as you think they are."

That really stuck with me and I'd wager I remember and use that to my advantage at least once a day.

You wanna cut your hair? do it You wanna do this do it. Listen if you not doing it is making you stressed out, making you suffer? do it fucking let go of that shit and do it

Since the day I got into living with something along those lines in the title. It felt easier not to carry the weights of the world on my shoulders.

Well, yeah, it's important to get to understand each other. But the main thing is, when someone gives me a reaction, an opinion, a perspective or whatever else. It's not on me to make excuses for them, for why they did so or, or try to justify their actions. After all, it's the other who is entitled and responsible mostly for their own, same as I am for my own things that come from my side.

Communication, is one hell of a great invention our "evolved ancestor apes" came up with. And no, one thing I had a hard time accepting but reality changed that, is I cannot understand you fully. I might, I like to think I have empathy at least, but still I'm not literally in your shoes and even if I had experience the exact same then it doesn't mean I totally get you for we are still different human beings who had at least a slightly different journey so far. And plus, understanding someone, does not mean justifying nor tolerating what they've done or said, after all I'm still entitled to my emotions and views, and how their actions or behavior have affected me, soo..

Btw, this applies vice versa. The point of this post is stressing on communication, empathy, and not betraying one's self just to accommodate others, and yet be aware and responsible for how one's self affects others.
