Why You Should Be Careful With An "I don't Care" Attitude

-
Be careful with I don't care attitude.

You've probably heard people say things like "I don't care what anybody thinks." "I don't give a damn" "I don't care anymore" and other words like that. The "I don't care" attitude is becoming quite popular and of course it comes with a good feeling.

This attitude can actually be helpful if it motivates you to keep trying where other people have failed or it helps you become a better and a much happier person. But sometimes, this attitude can arise out of pure stubbornness and laziness.

Many relationships among people have failed because of this. Some people don't care at all about another person but just themselves and their needs forgetting that their needs are dependent on the needs of other people.

It is important to actually care to know the truth and properly look into our consciences before we adopt an I don't care attitude towards anything. Are you adopting it because you are convinced you're on a right track or because you want to run away from your own responsibilities?

Some people have become accustomed to using the 'I don't care' attitude to mask their responsibilities and refuse to see the truth from other perspectives. This is when it becomes dangerous.

If you have this attitude because you simply want to escape from your responsibilities or because you're so selfish that you refuse to acknowledge the truth about yourself, then you need to rethink.

Sometimes, you should really care to see things from the angles that other people are seeing from. You should care about the people you love. You you care to know the full story about anything.

Be sure you're not stubborn and you're not the problem. Be sure that you're genuinely happy with your decision not to care. It's good not to care about what others think when they only say negative things in order to discourage you.

It is good not to care when they tell you to give up and stop trying. It's good not care about pleasing everybody or those who are not worth it. It's good not to care how many times you've failed and still believe that you can succeed.

There are many reasons that support the "I don't care" attitude, but be careful that stubbornness, closed mindedness, hatred and ignorance ain't part of these reasons.

Sometimes, you should care about some things. Other times, you should not care about certain things too. Just keep being a winner no matter which you choose to do.

    Pretty sure my gf shared this because I am stubborn, I am lazy, and I say that I don’t care quite a bit. I guess I’ll start using the “ I find this path to be undesirable” would that be better? Because I don’t care that the kids have their doors shut during the day, they need their privacy right? I don’t care because I feel that if someone wants something they should ask for it. Either with help “hey will you give me a hand?” “Can you do this/that?” People feel that when you’re in a relationship you should “care” about the same things. In my personal opinion I am passionate about some things, I care about stuff, I like doing certain things. But when it comes to you want to wipe the counters down but it’s my turn to empty/load the dishwasher, and there is one bowl on the counter. I’m not going to stop what I’m doing, wipe the counters down, move the bowl into the sink, I’ll get it when I’m damn good and ready to. This is also in the “I don’t care” realm.

      Yes, that does fall into the I don't care Realm.
      I don't care if they respect my authority. I don't care if they don't feel that I do too much around the house as it is, andcould use some help. Xcetera.
      It sounds like you're a lot like me. I don't like confrontation, I just like a clean kitchen. I don't like confrontation but I don't want the clothes left on the bathroom floors. It's not for guests, we very seldom have guests. It's more just for my sanity.

      God bless you, for the spirit of the Lord is with you. It's what you give without expecting anything in return that's important.

    This was the exact example I set out last night "I don't care" attitude is a completely mixture of stubbornness and lack of effort (laziness) to make things better than it was.

    When I started dating, anytime my boyfriend and I would argue I’d feel heavy at heart and I would cry. I wouldn’t be able to do anything cause I’d be thinking a lot. I would even pray to God to take away the feeling .
    We argued frequently then, so I decided I was going to stop caring so that I will be able to go on with my day. I don’t know when or how it happened.
    But one day after we argued I realized that I didn’t feel anything and I was happy.
    I didn’t care anymore.
    He realized recently because anytime we’d argue I don’t show any emotions and I’d just go about my day and wait till he comes to talk about it or resolve it. He says that I don’t love him because I don’t feel heavy at heart like he does or make effort to resolve issues like he does because I don’t care .
    I want to work on it but don’t know how

    I have adopted the I don't care attitude out of the consistent disappointments I receive from others. I work hard, make good money, take care of everything with no help, take care of everyone else too. Instead of thanks or any type of effort from this person to do something for themself and do better in life, it's just disappointment one after the other to where I don't care anymore. One monkey doesn't stop my show and I don't need anyone for anything, they need me. The benefit of having me is a privilege. The benefit is being revoked.

What Happened To Victor Pride of Bold and Determined?

-

So after so many months without visiting his blog, I tried to visit boldanddetermined.com for some fired up articles only to get a surprise.. that the blog has been permanently closed and then there's podcast following from Vic Pride (now Brother Nicholas) claiming that He's now Born again and has given his life to Jesus Christ. I didn't know how to feel. Whether it's good news or bad news will ultimately be up to us, but I just think I should share my thoughts about it here. But before that a brief background story. Victor Pride has been running the motivational blog bold and determined since 2011 and he has actually inspired and motivated a lot of young men and women to break out lazy attitudes/habits to live the life of their dreams.  Even though, I never really agreed with quite a number of his ideas about God, religion, the government, women etc, I still saw the truth in some of the things he said. And he had a very unique way of writing with gives you that adrenal

The Definition Of A True Man

-
Image
In today's world, it seems as though the definition of a man is getting more debased day by day. Value systems seem to have changed and being a man appears to now be centered on ephemeral, distasteful and immoral behaviour. Here on this blog, you'll get the truth on the definition of a true man. Yesterday, I got into an argument with a male colleague at work. Ordinarily, I try my best to avoid any form of arguments except when absolutely necessary. This was one of those exceptional days. We were all having a wonderful discussion about things we need to know in making the right choice as regards a life partner for marriage and everyone of us was sharing their candid opinions and learning from those shared by others. Then, the young man who was standing aside joined in and started saying that we were all talking nonsense. He continued by saying that only his opinion was valid because he had slept with so many different women to the extent he had lost count. I didn'

Love Someone with Similar Energy Levels or Expectations

-
Image
I was discussing with a friend few days ago when the idea hit me to really share this blog post because I feel it's important people in relationships know this. Now for a second, imagine two people in love. Let's call them Romeo and Juliet. Romeo really loves Juliet and she also loves him just as much. But their relationship isn't going great despite the love they have for each other. Juliet calls Romeo on a daily basis to check up on her. To her, that's how she expresses that she loves and cares for him. She also makes efforts to see him regularly.  Romeo on the other hand despite loving Juliet, doesn't want to call her every day. He only wants to speak to her once or twice a week. Calling someone twice a week for Romeo is the height of loving someone as he isn't really into calls. To him his biggest expression of his genuine love can only allow him want to hear from her twice a week. At some point Juliet begins to worry and think about why she has to

Be Good For No Reason

-
Image
I think this world would be a lot better if we could all be good for  no reason. If we make it a point of duty to simply be good to other people and to our immediate environment. If we could form the habit of doing good without any expectation and being good  to our community for no reason, there  would be dramatic change. But the big question lies in the definition of being good. On what basis can we say for sure that the actions we intend to take is a good one? Is it culture? Is it morality? Is it the scriptures? For the  purpose of this blog post, being good here means showing love to others and helping them out when you can. It means being able to connect with the feelings of other people and help them solve any of their problems in any little way you can. Actions that can be classified as being good could be: buying food for someone without them asking, visiting the motherless babies and providing them with the gifts you can, giving to a beggar or a homeless person, vo

The Definition Of A True Woman

-
Image
Previously, I wrote an article on the definition of a true man . It would be fair enough to also write and article for the women who read this blog. Women are beautiful, lovely and sensitive creatures way different from men in a lot of things both mentally and physically. They are special in their own way and also play very important roles in our society. Just like in the case of the men, value systems seem to be changing for women too. Most women seem to rate themselves these days based mainly on their looks. They spend so much time and money in ensuring they look very good, clean and posh. They can do anything to look attractive and get attention. Some even go to the extent of almost going nude on social media just to feel good about themselves and get reassuring likes . Painfully, most of these same women don't pay attention to what is inside of them. They often neglect the unseen qualities which make them who they truly are. There are some women who boast about

Poor Parenting Deeply Affects Our Society

-
Image
Poor parenting is considered one of the most important public health issue facing our society today. It has a lot of serious impact on children and it appears society is not even paying attention to this growing menace. Forms of poor parenting range from child abuse, physical abuse, emotional neglect and emotional abuse of children. Poor parenting affects a child's development and makes them more susceptible to mental health issues. Most of the bad eggs of society are products of bad parenting. People who are prone to drug use, substance abuse, chronic alcoholism, violence, teenage pregnancy and crimes can all be traced to poor parenting! The reality is that many people do not know how to be parents! This is not taught in school and older parents do not even take the time to teach their younger ones ready to go into marriage how they can be good parents because to most of them, "You learn it on the job." So it is the mindset of a lot of people that they will figure out ho

Nothing Comes For Free

-

A lot of people complain that they don't have some things they really deserve or that despite their hardest work, they achieve very little. Therefore, they are discouraged in whatever they do and tend to stop giving out their best. For some other people, it appears that they do very little work and all the money is following them. They don't have to stress themselves like others, but money just keeps chasing them. "Why is life this way?" they ask. "Life is not fair. " they scream. Some start trying to explain it by saying its the hands of fate and not everyone has the same destiny. When they're satisfied with whatever excuse they've cooked up, they're comforted in their misery and quit trying. Here's the truth... Life is completely fair. Life has been so well arranged that everyone gets exactly what they deserve. It appears some people have it easier when you only look at where they are presently.

Worried About What People Think?

-
Image
I was inspired for this week's article by two posts I saw from Gary Vee and Michelle Obama, and the heartfelt conversations I had with a loved one on life in general. The post from Gary Vee says 99.9% of people that judge you or have opinions about you have no idea what is actually happening in your life, and it went further to beg the question: how can you value their judgment when they don't even know you? The post made a whole lot of sense because most times a lot of us are insecure; insecure because we worry too much about what people will think about us. This all seems fair, natural, and usually appears to be the right thing for us to do. We want people to see us as doing what is right, as living according to their expectations, and for our lives to be seen as "progressive." Therefore, it comes naturally to be concerned about how people are judging or perceiving us. It also comes that way, I guess, as a way of naturally protecting ourselves. In the past, people h
