How Can I Act Less Apathetic and Indifferent?

Post Reply New Topic

How can I act less indifferent and apathetic? I don't like being a debbie downer of any situation.

What do you enjoy doing or talking about?

I don't know. I like to be on social media a lot.

Definitely delete that. Social media is just capitalizing on your insistence towards everyone's privacy, among many other things.

The only social media websites I have been on so far are YouTube and Wrongplanet. I deleted my Reddit account a while back. I still have an EosHd account, but those guys are leagues above me in being smart.

Oh, my apologies, I see that & automatically presume everyone has defaulted to Facebook / Snapchat / Twitter / Instagram. Don't sweat the actual media, it's the fake "social" crap I'm more concerned about.

WP is the best kind of Facebook. We actually talk about how to get along on here.

I gave up Facebook years ago.

There's something for everyone here on WP with its wide range of forums.

You surely have one or more interests that you like to chat about and should find like minded folk here.

Spend more time learning about stuff you find interesting.

Follow a local sports teams if you intend to socialize with guys that do that. You don't have to watch the games. Just reading a game summary and watching a 30 second video may be enough.

These days, you can also find online summaries of TV shows as well.

First of all, should you act "less apathetic"?

Answer:. Depends on your goal. If you want to fit in , yes

If you want to "be true to yourself", no



Plenty of precious lil "people" act way too dramatic. She told me "and you didn't seem to care", as though just because I did not express a constant rollercoaster of emotions (like her) meant I did not "care"


Stoic could be good or bad

I have trouble feeling emotion too and usually listening to music helps me or playing an instrument if you're interested in that I suppose...music works all parts of the brain and it usually invokes some sort of emotion even though it may be temporary but it works. Doing things that you are interested in or that you enjoy definitely helps or even reading a book.

I have become sick and tired of hearing the exact same criticism of myself repeated by others. I am told I imply i am being too serious and am unapproachable, that I seem foreign in some way and from a different country, that I talk in a way that implies i am dismissive of other peopels ideas or I say things out of sequence. I know i dont make eye contact all the time, and I often find it difficult to speak up to some others, but im really am fed up with being ignored and overlooked.

It helps to have a more positive attitude about things. Try to be more accepting about what other people enjoy.

Motivation is a product of dopamine, a brain chemical. When you disengage with society, you fail to stimulate all 5 senses in a way that humans have enjoyed for about 300,000 years. My suggestion is to have more fun in a real way, turn off the screen and engage with something real, even if it's just nature. Natural production of dopamine should increase.
