TL:DR: I don’t really give a fuck about anyone but myself.

This thought came up the other day when one of my bro’s asked if we saw so and so’s story. To spare you the details, I dismissed it rather quickly simply bc it was some bitch we went to middle school with (early 20’s now) who I’ll never see again. She could die and I wouldn’t really care, why would I care about what she’s doing?

Growing up I’ve never been one to partake in gossip simply bc I couldn’t give two shits about what other people are doing.

Idgaf about the latest episode of the Kardashians. No I’m not in the loop about the latest drama on 90 day fiancé. Quite simply, if it does not affect my:

  • health
  • income
  • the relationships I have in my life
  • general well-being

It is likely I don’t care and couldn’t be bothered about it.

Sometimes this makes me seem dismissive of other people’s interests. But I’ve never been one to sugar coat the truth. I will tell you to find someone else to gossip with, I’m not your guy.

Another recent example is all of the protests and riots going on in my area (very blue city/state). Quite frankly I don’t really give a fuck whose business got raided, which protesters got maced, etc.

I will also say I am a minority so it’s not like I’m against these social movements either.

To summarize, I don’t really care about anything that directly affect my life. Does anyone else feel the same? Are there any downsides to feeling/thinking like this?
