How Can I Act Less Apathetic and Indifferent?

Post Reply New Topic

I do love myself. In my opinion, I think I feel like that because of stress, but I'm really just trying to have a good day and get on by. I'm not trying to be mean. There are some things I don't like from people be it their believes and how defensive I feel around them, but really I'm trying my best to just be a kind young man who has his act together. I don't like being defensive. I am fine with how different they are. I don't hate people. Please let's just get along with each other and put aside this need to learn something new everyday. I already have enough learning something new from working and education. I am already questioned enough on my attitude, my motives, my daily routine, and my mentality. I just don't like being grouchy and grumpy. I like other people to look beyond my lifestyle and see my actions not what's behind the scenes. The behind the scenes has too much trouble as it is. The show is what I would like you to focus on. So that's why I asked the question, I want people to focus on the show not what goes behind it metaphorically speaking and not literally speaking. Please, I know it's hard to deal with, but I'm putting on the show so that I can learn more about the people I talk to and interact with those people... Not all of this negative stuff that's being heard about deceitful liars who make good people look amuck. I understand your complaints and am willing to deal with it though.

They just want (and expect) you to "care" about things they care about. And they expect you to show the "care" in a way they want

I think I have a low stress tolerance and get tired easily so that could explain the grouchiness.

It may also be that you don't get enough sleep.

Some counselors act like every slightest thing is an emotional rollercoaster

"He got mad. You felt bad. You were in distress. It was a miscommunication"

The counselor told me that, about someone that barked at me, for failing to move fast enough on the bus

Counselors (and "most people" ) act way too dramatic

Good and bad things happen, sooner or later



Those theatrical lil dipshits act like they are competing for Oscar Award

Being around them, is like adrenal fatigue

After years of experience, this doesn't bother me. Why should I fake enthusiasm about your interests when you have no patience or understanding of mine? Perspnally, I find that both dishonest and mentally exhausting. The key is to find peple with similar interests and share your mutual enthusiasm.

Counselors tend to use extreme words

"Sorry", that you had a cold (not scarlet fever)

"Unfortunate" , the men's locker room did not amend it's sign to "men and women that want to be men". (UCSD 2006, homophobic). When I was the first woman in the men's locker room

"Wish it didn't happen", second dog bite. No injury or civil lawsuit. Two idiots had the nerve to bark at me "we don't treat animals that way! Animal Rights!". Because I screamed when it bit me. (,#so what, the idiots did not put the dog on leash or apologize or make reparations. Nobody cares about the Leash Law. Except myself)


She sighed theatrically when I told her about the academic probation. 15 years ago . So what? "It's a day late, a dollar short"

"Horrible" . Bowel movement took an hour





f**k those stupid ass drama queens




Children are dropping dead of cancer. Defendants get framed and sent to jail. Holocaust. Slavery


When they put all that drama on every slightest thing, that belittles larger things


They act like they expect everything to be perfect at all times, to their standards


So, if your goal is to act "less apathetic and indifferent" do what the counselors did

Hi Zack, the thing is you don't want to act. Your not being honest if your acting. You need to be you, whoever you may be. Because if your not you you will not attract people that like YOU. And that would not be good for anyone ! You have to be authentic and attract the people that like you for you . That might not be what you want to hear/see but it is the only way to be happy. Because you were not born anyone else you were born to be you. GOOD LUCK !

Alright Weez I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

Good deal Zack. Your very welcome. And I cannot say it too much how important being honest in all your dealings is. When a person is not honest , they are not respected, they will be treated badly , because we are only as good as our word. To be respected , trusted, desired, wanted,sought after, we have to be honest. If you only cared about making money and your looking to be hired or start a business, no body wants to hire anyone they cannot trust you got to be honest. If you had your own business, the best advertisement is word of mouth , and if it gets around that your not genuine and not honest nobody will want to do business with you. It is not just for your social life , it is the difference between being poor and miserable ....or making money and being happy. im being redundant I know but It is because we all can and should be happy and you have your whole life to live , and I really want you to have a good one Zack. ok that's it from me .
