I wish I wasn't so freaking sensitive.
Edited on Mon Jan-05-09 02:16 PM by billyskank
I wish I could be one of those people who just go through life not giving a fuck. It would be so much easier.

1. You and me both, Billy.
I cannot stand knowing (or even having reasonable speculation) that someone is upset or angry at me. :(

:hug:

2. Yo.
I wish I didn't give a fuck either. We are just cursed to care.

3. There's the 'Tyler Durden' method...
Create an 'alter-ego' who does exactly that - switch off as the need arises

5. Aw...
:hug:

You know, actually, the internet did a lot to get me more thick-skinned. When you get on here and express your opinions and people attack you undeservedly, you realize (at least I did) that those people know nothing about you IRL and really have no grounds to attack you, and conversely, that you know nothing about that person IRL and they're probably some ridiculous no-nothing dillweed and are therefore not worthy of giving a shit about anyway. :evilgrin: Then I just took my not-giving-a-shit mindset from there.

6. But then you wouldn't be you...
and that would be sad, (of course after typing that I realized that it made me sound like a hyper-selfish douchenozzle, worrying about the loss of your you-ness and its affect on me rather than how much it must suck for you to be what you percieve to be too sensitive and then I thought well that wasn't my original intent, I really just wanted him to know how much I for one adore and appreciate him, and then I thought well yes but take his feelings into consideration, and then I thought mcctatas, you need medication or coffe or a nap or sex or something and then I thought, eh fuck it, I'll just drink this Diet Red Bull and get on with my day, but first I have to tell billyskank that he is marvelous and witty and easy on the eyes :P )

7. I think thats me
I stopped giving a fuck a long time ago. It keeps the blood pressure down and a lot of shit seems so unimportant right now. The only thing that upsets me now is traffic. Although I used to be in shape and tried to meet women but that all seems so pointless right now. When I was a kid I was always told that if I wasnt 'rich' or working at some big fancy job by my mid twenties I would be a failure. Well I'm not rich and currently unemployed but I just dont give a fuck. I just find it funny that these rich corporate assholes that my parents wanted me to be one of have now lost everything and ruined.

13. Yes, it would.
I feel the same way a lot of times. If it wasn't for my computer and the ease of "travel" on the super information highway, I'd be lost. :hug:

17. It is easier to not give a fuck.
I started not giving a fuck back around the time I turned 30. Life was hell before that.

19. You've got a point there.
Before, when I used to care, I had hundreds of friends.

Now I have exactly zero.

21. As long as you're equally sensitive to the feelings of others
being sensitive is a good thing.
