Submitted by Digitizer4096 t3_10b5ual in GetMotivated

“Not giving a fck” has become a popular phrase in recent years, and there’s a good reason for that. Not caring about what other people think can be a powerful tool for living a happier, more fulfilling life. In this essay, we’ll explore why not giving a fck is so important and how it can be put into practice.

First and foremost, not giving a f*ck can help you to focus on what’s important in your life. We live in a society that is constantly bombarding us with messages about how we should look, think, and behave. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to meet the expectations of others, but this can lead to a sense of unhappiness and dissatisfaction. When you stop caring what other people think, you can focus on your own values and goals, which can lead to a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction in life.

Not giving a f*ck can also help you to make better decisions. When you are constantly worrying about what other people think, it can be difficult to come to a decision that is best for you. You may find yourself swayed by the opinions of others and not following through with what you truly believe. But when you stop caring about what other people think, you can make decisions based on your own values and beliefs, and this can lead to greater personal growth and success.

Not giving a fck can also help you to build better relationships. When you stop worrying about what other people think, you can be more authentic and open with the people in your life. This can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections with those who matter most to you. Similarly, not giving a fck can help you to let go of toxic relationships, as you become more confident in your own worth and realize that you don’t need people who mistreat you or make you feel bad about yourself.

Finally, not giving a f*ck can also help to boost your self-confidence. When you stop worrying about what other people think, you can start to accept yourself for who you are and recognize your own strengths and talents. This can lead to greater self-assurance and a stronger sense of self-esteem.

In conclusion, not giving a fck is an important part of living a happy and fulfilling life. It can help you to focus on what’s important, make better decisions, build better relationships, and boost your self-confidence. So the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of others, remember to not give a fck and stay true to yourself.

I think a better way to word this is to not depend on external validation.

It's important to care, and give a fuck about yourself and others.

I've found the "no fucks to give" attitude can also be an unhealthy coping mechanism when taken to the extreme, resulting in emotional withdrawal. Sometimes telling yourself you don't give a fuck while bottling things up inside is just compounding our problems.

I think a little social anxiety is good for us. I love to make a good first impression to people and it's what keeps me working hard and hitting the gym. Not because I want the validation but because I want my actions to speak louder to my words.

I guess so, but it's important to care about other people, and to care what other people think. You don't show up at a funeral or to church in sweat pants, for example (I personally think adults shouldn't wear them in public). You give people a break even when they're coughing or doing other annoying things, because they cannot help it. You care about your work and the feelings of others.

It's part of the social contract to give a f*ck.

Depends heavily on the scenario/relationship. Wearing sweats to a funeral is incredibly disrespectful to the family. Wearing sweats to the grocery store is disrespectful to ?

It's just as important to know when to and when not to. You need to sometimes.

at the same time, not giving a fuck will hurt a lot more at the start. Its not like you wake up tomorrow without a care in the world but fight everyday to keep yourself in control. But in long run it gets better and better.
