Need for Control guy here In my younger years I’ve blindly trusted employers and other institutions that didn’t serve me. I’m now learning to manage myself and my time so I don’t need to be back in that position to survive.... ...However, this leaves room for analysis paralysis on what I can control and what I cannot. Essentialism by Greg Mckeown helped me deal with this but your video has reminded me of the importance of this
constantly thinking about peoples perceptions before i do or say something. trying to self-affirmate before i go to sleep of learning to shut that part me off.
I am slowly starting to pay no attention to other people, and set myself first. I feel like our society is revolved around pleasing other people, that we stop caring about things that actually matter.
It's weird because most people are people pleasers, but at the same time nobody really gives a shit about anybody else. It's like living in a movie and everyone is playing a part. No wonder there's so many mental health problems nowadays, how can you stay sane when the world in front of you isn't real.
@@itsandyme9192 100% agree! They are using you to try to validate themselves. And if that's the reason why they're attacking you, then they're opinion isn't even there own truth as they wouldn't think it if they felt complete.
9:51 I tried that once. Just laying on the ground doing nothing. I can't even begin to explain how liberating and fresh it felt. Some people even passed by and asked if something was wrong, and I replied "never felt better".
Getting off social media is a good way to cleanse your mind. Having more real friends that you actually meet in person is better than scrolling your phone
Real friends are so hard to find these days I just don’t seem to come across like minded people 😢 Everyone is just so obsessed with social media 😔 all people talk about is reels reels and reels
@@clashoclan3371 why do you ppl care so much when someone lives with there parents...whats wrong with that? As long as you are not a freeloader, helps in chores, contributes financially then I don't see something wrong with living with your parents.
what helped me combat social anxiety a lot is the realization that people are not going to focus on your messing up, because they all worry about themselves to begin with. And if you do mess up, it's going to be forgotten very quickly by others. Everyone is living their own lives, has their own stories, and this liberated me from the fear that people will judge me for anything I say or do. I still haven't fully recovered from social anxiety because it's still there like "hey, you just said this and that to your best friend now he hates you", though I hope even those thoughts of anxiety go as well.
This video made me realize how much of my time I'm wasting on earth, not doing what I want to do just because I care too much of what others think. For example, I usually never comment on youtube videos because I always want to have the perfect thing to say so that I'm able to please everybody, so I decided that this comment will truly show me that i have the option to not care and do what i want.
Simply asking myself “wait... why should I care?” literally helped me overcome my crippling social anxiety. There are so many moments throughout my day where I think I can’t do that or I can’t wear that or I can’t go there simply because I am 100% fixated on other people and what they will think. I don’t even stop to think that maybe it just doesn’t matter and I should decide what I’m going to do based on what I want.
I just ask myself this: "How about them? Oh, then how about me?" That phrase helps me a lot. Because, ups or downs, people would still say something about you, that's a life reality.
My biggest problems are: 1. Caring too much about things that don’t matter 2. Not caring about things that I should think are important (Edit: 4.4K likes holy guacamole tanks yall)
I dont think your ever ganno see this but, Id like to say thank you, Im an 18 year old dude who just went through hell... I was standing on a cliff and thinking of jumping but I thought before I jump Lemme try and fight life. So I wanted to find how to stop caring about things I cannot control, And I made my way to you, You dont know who I am, But I seriously thank you for all the videos they are really helping me with life rn. Their were times when I didnt have the strength and try but hearing you say things, Things that needed to be said is really helping me. I know your never ganno see this nor are you ganno look at this comment but Really Thank You
I am also struggling Alot because of caring too much and I’m glad I came across your comment. I felt silly feeling better after listening to these small words but they mean the most more than the stupid words I read everyday on social media society sucks and we really gotta tune out of the “norm” to feel normal. And forget about the brainwashed maniacs And their opinions
You deserve to be safe, happy, respected, appreciated, and loved. The assholes out there that make you doubt this are weak and ugly inside and they don’t deserve to share space with you. Keep seeking better people. Sadly they are sometimes really hard to find but if you keep searching, you can find a good soul to be around. Until then animals are incredibly healing. You got this!🫶🏼🦋🤗🤗
I learned this about 1 1/2 years ago… it started with deleting social media and turning off the news. The world and people around you are much better than you’re being told
Bro, I need to do this. I don't know if I want to completely turn everything off, but I want to severely limit it. As in, I'm not doing it out of mindless compulsion anymore.
@@aIkaIi it is freeing. I deleted my Twitter and it was refreshing. I don’t miss it, and I didn’t miss it. I think I was at the point of being over Twitter that’s probably why I didn’t miss it. But I’m thinking of Instagram next, but I have my business page on there so that one is tough. I am rarely on Fb. And I have snap. Do what you think you need to do. It is so freeing.
Although I have social media, I don’t use it too often and I don’t see it the same way anymore. You don’t have to get rid of social media, you just gotta understand why it can be harmful.
To actually not care about anything, you just need to do two things. Have 0 expectations, and do not care what a single person thinks of you. Do those two things, and remain grateful, and you can be happy while being in even the worst of situations
*Mental Health issues has entered the chat* Yeah, don't think that's how it works for everyone. 😐 Also why? I would never want to not care about *anything* or *anyone.* if I managed to do that then I'd just be depressed, what's the point if nothing seems to matter and I don't care. I activity want to avoid that kind of thinking.
This video does explain why I feel so judged and don't really fit in with a group, even with my own family. The thing is, I've spent too much time alone, talking to myself, not realizing how negative the impact was on me. And, I haven't accepted myself for who I am, just spent time reflecting on my flaws.
I don't know if this helps or not, but personally I've been trying to see myself through other people's eyes more. Like I try to listen to little compliments I get, and I try to remember that my friends don't see me as the mess that I see myself as. They see me as just as amazing of a person as I think they are. I'm also trying not to overthink as much, or insult myself in my thoughts as much. And I've been constantly reminding myself that I'm a person, just like everyone else. I'm flawed but so is everyone else. You might have flaws, but hey, so do I! That doesn't make either of us awful people. I think people like us just have to focus a little more on our good traits and hope that someday we'll like ourselves more. And if you can spend time around good people that you care about that helps too. But anyways, sorry my comment is so long. I hope you're doing okay
@@fivealry Thank you! This advice did help quite the lot! I am doing a bit better, reading this comment! I will definitely try to do this, as it does seem a very helpful, and thank you again.
There is this internal block I come up against. I know I shouldn’t care. Intellectually I know everything you mentioned is absolutely true, yet when I am faced with the negative energy, I am crushed emotionally because the body absorbs it before the intellect can talk itself out of it. Its like you have to be an energy ninja warrior😢🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@thanosthelord5594 forgive me if I'm wrong but, it sounds like you're not on social media. It's ok if you're not I just thimk you don't understand how brutal social media can be, especially to people with insecurities and burdains.
Nah, I mostly post in IG just to save those happy moments,,, and share it with ppl that I care. Wtv other ppl achievements don't bother me at all, I knew they sacrifice something to be in place that they are right now, so why bother?
@@likelyladsss that’s the way it should be, but in most cases all that shit is fake, the posts are not a reflection of the real lives these people are living. Some people are more impressionable than others and they take what they see on ig as the truth and nothing but the truth and they start feeling bad about themselves, unfortunately. I know plenty of people who flex on ig like they have it all figured out but in real life they’re train wrecks. Imagine if an app was created that requires you to post everything at any given moment? That would be interesting wouldn’t it ?
In a physical sense, perhaps. But what about towards the actions from individuals and in a mental and emotional sense? We, ourselves, although not born ugly, but the actions we make makes ourselves ugly. People can be ugly, and as a result of it, started a world of judgement in the first place. Look idk what I'm saying either, but i had a point
There is no point on exerting yourself with something you cannot change!! There is a way to not stress over something and still be a good person. I learned just be yourself!! Great video like it!!
This video is definitely for me. I used to care way too much. I abandoned my own needs, and always priotized people’s needs before mine. It’s ridiculous as it sounds. A while ago, I was going through such a bad time that I couldn’t function, I mostly just sleep. One night, my friend texted me saying she felt under the weather. I immediately went to buy food and medicine, and brought it to her. I felt exhausted mentally and physically but never showed it. I always agree to hang out with my friend even on days I really needed space for myself. I’d always be willing to walk the extra miles to help people with their problems. I made people’s problem my problem It was extreme. I was over caring and over considerate Now I’m focusing on myself more. I ignore messages unless it’s something urgent. I tell my friend my reasons and that I hope they don’t take it personal. It’s so not easy for me because I feel guilty for needing space and not solving their problem, or listening to their rants. At least I feel like I’m slowly putting down a weight I’ve been carrying. I’m able to hear myself more when there’s no other voices and dramas and ranting. I don’t force myself to smile when I want to cry. I feel much better when I care less
You're a good kind person and sometimes others will take advantage of that. When someone asks you to do something for them and you don't feel like it just say, "no". No. - is a complete sentence. You don't even need to explain. And if they're a true friend they will understand. If they are a user and/or toxic they will get angry. It's a good test. I had to learn this as I was also a "people pleaser".
I've been struggling with social anxiety disorder since middle school, the concept of "not caring" sounds like a dream come true, i wish it was this easy for me to stop thinking about what people think of me :'(
That's why he's telling you this overtly. It's a "how to" video; he's not expecting you to flip a switch :) deliberate effort will go a long way eventually
@@ghostofthefallenvalkyrie3320 tbh just punch them in the face and move away from there. Find better people that respect you. I know it really is easy said than done. But I'm also struggling the same as you. Be strong.
@@abeebzcpogo i've been trying to change and i agree, effort goes a long way, therapy helped me change my mindset, so hopefully things will get better as time goes by
i was a having a mental breakdown and then seen this video, this is the best part of media, helpful, inspirational, and comforting videos like these, thank you
I have limited my social media and the ppl in my life but I still overthink things a little too much but I’m not gonna overthink no more so thank u man
I'm trying to develop this ability. I've had this odd "try to make things easier for others" thing hard-wired in me since I was a child. The goody-two-shoes effect. But I've learned that some folks won't care or appreciate what you do (or think you're dumb because you're working so hard, or a brown-noser, or whatever) and not everyone's gonna care about your efforts or appreciate you or what you do. I'm trying to remove the "doormat" label from my forehead and just do the work I need to do and move on. No more taking on more than my fair share just because I'm bored and I feel it needs doing. They can get off their phones and their butts and do their work instead of "miss stickler for the rules" doing it for them because I don't want to get in trouble. That's the one benefit of getting older with a shortening temper: running out of F's to give. Just wish it'd happened sooner.
@•Saab• • That's what I've been keeping in the mind as soon as I realized this fact, it's really just whatever that brings joy to your life. You'll never please everyone, so just stop caring too much and keep on doing what you love the most! 💖
I know this video is a year old, but specifically today I've had a lot of my stress and anxiety about various things all cave in. I just made some breakfast, sat down at my computer and this was the first video in my recommendations, and it completely helps. Thanks for making this man. It's crazy how that works.
I’ve been a people pleaser my whole life and I’m just starting to learn to do what I want in life. I have respect for my family but often I’ll be persuaded to do things one way or another depending on someone else’s views. This video helped me realize that our time on earth really is limited and that it shouldn’t matter how I live my life so long as I’m happy and doing what I want to do to get the most out of what time I still have.
@@TheMorous true but not everyone is like that. The way forward in that case is to see how social constructs dictate how we dress, act, etc. And moving past them to care less about what others think
Wait but if you understand the vastness of the universe then surely you and other people should realize the ego doesn’t matter. Yet you are saying that is the reason why people have ego’s im confused.
@@pratik5065 egos might grow because this crisis, not mattering, is unbearable to accept. It’s their way of having control of things, or more so trying to
@randall-flaggwow thanks to destroy my ego bro, this really take this seriously/personally because ur jokes but I remember I need to be matured and not take this personally/seriously, thanks bro
I am the opposite of this. I don't care about anything at all. I am so careless that I don't even care about myself. Now I want to start caring but I'm here to tell people, you can stop caring, but don't go too low.
The main idea is stop caring about things that negatively affects you, like what people think of you, seeking validation, or always expecting the worst instead of believing in yourself. You shouldn't care about those things and care more on what actually matters like your personal growth, family, friends, hobby, things that makes you happy and who you are etc.
For me I learned to stop caring so much cause I'm done.I'm done with fake friends I'm done with fake ass people with ungrateful un appreciative people with nasty attitudes all the time.It use to have a impact on me but not no more I'm "done with all bullshit now" I love myself more and whatever issues I have I'm working on it on my own....I'm In control I'm a surviving warrior in life so I put myself first before anything else.Being strong ain't always easy but it takes work patience,faith and practice.
Same man same, I let go of all my friends that didnt even wrote my a text or gave my a call in the last 3 months. It's hard to stop giving a damn when you love people and you want to be loved but I guess it's a part of life each and everyone has to learn that
@@lecomtedeneuch9994 That's why you gotta be very careful with ,who you trust and who you deal with.Cause some will find reasons to torment you and make everything seem like it's your fault when it's not.Do what I do if they continue to annoy you or piss you off with bullshit nonsense if they aren't sorry and don't care you move on...and cut their asses off for good and I promise you it'll get easier for me cause you'll realized they were the failures in your friend ship not you.If they don't care about you or respect you then they don't deserve to remain in your presence.If you cut them off you'll feel much better and peaceful where you know that they were fake asf to even waste your time and energy being their friends.It's pointless to have people who are around you that ain't for you or if they don't really have your back at all.Just to leave you high and dry like a dying tree...know your worth and know what you deserve man don't stand for that shit man!.Can't no one do it but you.
@@manofsteelgoodmanll7925 I began a healing process one half a year ago, I lost 36 kg (was 119kg), I'm now 83kg for 1m94, I'm fit, I became confident in myself and I remain strong during covid times although I couldn't see anyone for 16 months in the situation I was in. Now, I begin to take things slow and to be a better judge of character, I'm not akward anymore bc I don't think I'm akward anymore. I'm happier than ever but yeah sometimes it's hard when you have no around bc you have to create new friendships and relationships at the age of 26 but I never feel really down. I'm going to the gym 5 days a week and I'm about to start dancing classes and MMA. Life is getting better each day and I now know that I'm gonna be fine ! Thanks man, Appreciate you took the time to respond to me. Take care of yourself King !
@@lecomtedeneuch9994 thank you you too and that's good that you'd acknowledge your own worth.I'm happy to hear you got in proper shape. Always put your self first before anything or anyone else.Do you and love yourself but mostly be proud of yourself to say that your blessed but trying to focus on your goals for you.It won't be easy but take it as a challenge like I do cause that's how you'll win and succeed in life if you believe in yourself to work harder.Like I said if others are against you to only try to break you then fuck them you don't need no one to guide you through the obstacles but you....stay safe always.And you take care as well and good luck to you on your special activities through MMA.But have fun fighting for your dreams don't let nothing or no one stop you....if it takes work do the work, get prepared to work and put into work to get what you want and need.I even went the gym 5days a week to prepare myself for challenge for my cleaning job duties as well.
You spitting the facts!! I have delt with so MANY and still deal with fake people. I'm sick of them, I dont spend any time with the fakes. There not worth my precious time. Exactly, loving yourself comes first. I'm still trying to and I'm going through alot right now after a incident and I'm trying to love myself again. Its hard after you put so much energy into that one person and they leave... I lost myself in the process. I agree with what you said 100% though.
This video reminds me of how sweet and loving my mom was and how she raised us and just how the world can tarnish all that. This world doesn't deserve the kind and loving person she made me to be, it's really sad that people take people pleasers like me for granted. I learned here that it's completely ok, to dismiss those who mean absolutely nothing to us. From here on out, I will always voice my opinion instead of just trying to make others happy or like me.. 😊 May we all go and step on a few peoples toes. 😉
Well you are absolutely doing the right thing you don't have to force people to like you.. remain who you are and those that are meant to be your life will always be there for you...well how are you doing today
your message resonate with me. I'm too soft because of I'm nurture and I'm slowly getting to know my worth after having terrible experiences. May God be always on our side.
True but at the same time think to your self "who are they" a bunch of absolutely nobody's. Youll always come across people who tell you want to do etc.. who are they and what authority do they have over you ... Nothing ..just look at them like they nobody and mean f all to you. If they ain't paying your bills they not relevant to your life.. so focus on you and what benefits you only.. you gotta take care of your self first before you look after your own family.
yes,...that thing changed me.."NOTHING IS PERMANENT" and the life is like a GAME ! yehhh i don't care about anything and my mind and emotions are now on a base line. only i can feel that peace 😇
I have a friend that told me, "There's no such things as Maturity, only awareness and it's the only thing you need to know." When being told by that, I thought of it before that it's like when people ask you to be mature, and stop acting like a child or baby, you would think of being mature but you don't know how it'll make you one. So I told her that "you're right". At the moment, I thought to myself that it's better to have knowledge to things on your own then later on, listen to the thoughts of the society, so that you won't get overwhelmed, pressured, overthinking about the same subject, and also changing thoughts without thinking straight.
maturity is a biproduct of awareness and acceptance my grandpa taught me that 1 like how my friend taught me that there is no good are evil only actions and consequences
@@xargalakthe7thplanar326 Right. But hopefully when people say that you're not mature enough, we'll say something like, "chill, im a human being and i know for a fact that people will always mature, and that we don't know how, but we know how to make ourselves, still ourselves." 🙂💓 I was once tired of being called things that aren't real but it wasn't because of being too sensitive, but it's already fking with my mind.
we all do - to smaller or greater extent but as Cole said, be present and know what matters to you the most. also, if you guys could have a look at my new yt channel on mindfulness, I would be super grateful!
1. It's okay to care a lot, it's not okay to hurt yourself caring for other people's issues. 2. Do not cut off your feelings all together, everyday you will feel less alive then before you make that mistake. 3. Know when to express yourself and who to express yourself too. Don't show your feelings to anyone who undermines ANY of your feelings. 4. Empathy is a sign of understanding.. its a form of critical thinking. Don't downright throw it away, just know WHO to empathize with. 5. Follow your passion, your dreams, your hope, your inspiration. You follow those and no one's feelings will matter and the meaning in this video you would have solved yourself. 6. If you dont have any passions, dreams or inspirations. You did number two and cut off your emotions to much. (Your best bet is to get those feelings back and to do that follow the dreams you stopped caring about or ignored. Make your childhood dreams you stopped caring come true... it will surely bring back feelings you lost long ago).
In short, know when to do things at the right time. If life were to be only about choosing based on an advice, we wouldn't have problems after making the same mistake multiple times.
@@Dxpress_ I have similar problem. What if you just realised that your dream in life is just to beloved. You feel all goals are already fulfilled and feeling content everyday but other people expected more from you.
@@Dxpress_ It’s good to have some kind of ambition, go out and do something that even slightly interests you. Whatever it is, as long as it isn’t selling drugs or some shit, take the inch and run a mile.
@@thebush6379 But people need to be taught this at a young age because it could help prevent trauma later on because trust me my parents acted like trauma didnt even exist. So when i got hit by constant abuse by the people around me... it hit me HARD @Dxpress You definitely had some they just might not be big things. If you didn't have any childhood dreams you were likely very happy as a child or knew your parents couldn't give you much. They might have been small at the moment things like wanting to go surfing or going to a carnival or watch a certain movie and just because they aren't careers doesn't mean you have to be sad about that. Society tricks you into wanting careers (because they just want brainwashed workers). The point being you might be free spirited like a horse you know to cherish moments at that second rather then make a life's goal to achieve something. (Nothing wrong with that either.. having a career is better for your future but at the same time. You can die tomarrow and not realize it and then that's that.) They're is no wrong way to play Life, and people tend to forget that. Derphan is right though about one thing its good to have some ambition. Ambition is a wonderful emotion to have... the first time i felt Ambition was when i went Boxing. I usually am not the competitive type, i follow my flow. But this one dude who i was good friends always made me want to be better then him. We were friends but it was like a Rivalry at the same time. It's an Addicting emotion to have but it makes you never want to give up. If you don't have one... try to find your hobbies. Trust me... its an emotion you wont want to get rid of.
ive had panic attacks because of this topic but im glad i pushed myself through the whole video. You are absolutely right with everything. Ill just have fun and live how i wanna live. Great video!!
My thoughts exactly bro. We are not these flesh vessels we inhabit, we are the awareness that controls them... that’s it. How they look, what they wear, doesn’t matter.
Flesh Vessels would be an awesome band name lol. I totally agree too, nothing really matters except our awareness of the world around us and our place in it.
I just graduated high school, and I'm doing basically nothing at the moment because I need time to just have fun and not worry about anything. I definitely have a problem with caring too much. My therapist suggests that I should be more selfish and not care what people think. Right now my goal is to improve my mental health status enough to where I can survive on my own and live my own life. I don't care how long it takes, I just want to be happy with who I am and find my passion, but it's a long process. Thanks for this eye-opening video Cole.
Exactly, we care too much for out future and we dont give the importance to our present, the true meaning of life is to be happy and if you are happy with nothing you will be happy with everything
@@chunkychunks9661 yeah haha, I was about to make the same mistake I made a couple years back but I decided to apply for jobs soon so I don't become a sack of shit lol
I used to care a lot about what people thought of me but now that I'm 22 I simply don't care anymore. There will always be people who hate and won't like you for what you do but just erase them out of the picture and focus on the positives
It's almost impossible when they're family, I know they want the best for me but God they have no idea how they make me feel with the consist criticizeing non stop I lost myself in the process I don't even know who I am anymore
I have been doing this for several years now, and it feels great,no rejections,no distractions living my life happy with me. Remember in a hundred years from now,none of us will be here.
Slowly but surely, this is the mindset I'm adopting. It's truly powerful. I used to deal with people who used me to pile their drama onto and vent incessantly. Now I refuse to engage for my own wellbeing. I do not care anymore how it makes me look, how people think of me, or anything. I'm just living more freely, though there's obviously more work for me to still do. In the past, I cared so much about how I looked and what people thought of my personality so much that I would change it to better fit their desires and interests. I don't do that anymore. You like or dislike me as I am, and I couldn't care any less who thinks what.
There is deep wisdom in these teachings. The sooner you learn not to care at all about the judgments of those around you, the faster you acquire integrity, which is a key to inner freedom. Thanks for your great video. Every single person should see it - and be free! Best regards from Sweden.
currently in the middle of learning not to care too much. As much as possible, I don’t want to please people anymore because I realized that the thinking i used to carry with me took so much of the respect that i should have had for myself before. Like It is okay if they don’t like me by the way i look, and how awkward i interact with people brought by me being an introverted person. I learned this the hard way by having so many nights spent with overthinking which also made my heart be so heavy to the point that i was about to lose control of my mind and heart. i must give myself enough respect and importance because in that way, i won’t easily be having lots of second thoughts, i’ll be more of myself, and be confident.
Months after quarantine and being away from people, I got to focus on myself and what actually matters. I forgot what life was like and so did everyone else. When I finally started talking to people again, I was so much more loose and cooler, I’m now way more popular. At the same time I was watching family guy a lot and I decided Peter is an amazing role model for not giving a shit
Wow, I remember the same thing happening to me around 2017, but change the animated tv show role model for not giving a shit to Rick from Rick and Morty, it really changed my perspective of life, kinda like the beginning of the rest of my life
I've never been a social person and everyone talking shit about me because of that and i was like ok if you like going out do it just without me like why i have to be the same? those guys going out to drink throw up and repeat over night thats just not for me
I think one important step to stop caring is getting comfortable with death. And the people that got comfortable with death are those who experienced a psilocybin mushroom trip. Mike Tyson for example
Your life is worth living 💞 take any means necessary to ease your depression as long as you are not hurting others 💞 you do not deserve to live in depression 💞
One thing that helps me feel less embarrassed and depressed is remembering that an awkward situation doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world; the world will not swallow me whole. Therefore I should just forget about the situation because one mistake isn’t going to ruin my life.
I've adopted this mindset and way of living for a few years now. It was a gradual process to be comfortable with being the outsider. I've always been the outsider and loner but now I take it for what it is and draw some positivity from it. The content in this video really resonated with me and it was great to hear and how I look as things as well articulated in a way that I wouldn't of been able to. Thanks for making this videos.
This is one of the people who gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 2 months ago about self development and now have 69 subs and almost 55 hours watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
My list: 1. Don't waste your precious energy and time on em. Let them waste theirs. They will just drown you into the pit of passive-aggressive "I am righteous than thou" type of toxicity, so don't fall for it. Cut them out. 2. Cherish yourself. Cuz not all people would do it. 3. Ups or downs, people would still find anything about you for the sake of having something to talk about, out of boredom or just for clout. And this type of grumpy people is everywhere. Here's my hug for y'all. Stay safe and be happy. :)
See, the problem is when this guy is his “authentic self” he’s like going out having a good time with friends, staying healthy, and hanging out in his nice apartment, when I’m my “authentic self” I’m wasting whole days eating potato chips on the couch. I need to care more
There is absolutely a balance when it comes to our cares. In the wrong context, "not caring" could lead to worse states of being. What I've learned, at least for myself, is that I need to categorize my cares into 2 "baskets". One basket is "I need to care", the other is "It's not my business". Obviously, if not caring about a particular thing leads to further decay in mind, body or spirit, then you need to change that. Sometimes you can dissect different aspects of one issue and categorize your cares. For example: We shouldn't care what other people think to the point of it controlling our lives, but we should care to the point to where we set a good example and are being fully understood in our expressions. That way, we don't care what they think about the things that make us intrinsically who we are, but we do care that we are effectively being seen for who we actually are. Truly, "you" are not a slob who just devours potato chips. That's a learned behavior and habitual program. Who you are is deep at the core of your being, but life has attached labels and filters to you which have become a sort of "natural" response or way of handling things. Who you are is so much more magnificent than all of that. So you should care to show up as your true self, but not care what others think about your value as you navigate that journey. Disciplining ourselves and evolving is for the sake of our higher calling, not for the approval of others in a small moment. I apologize for the rant though lol. I just felt inspired to share this with you. Have a blessed day friend 🙏
It's about not caring what other people think about you, but you should still care about what you think about yourself. If you aren't happy with yourself then you should improve on that, but don't change yourself for someone else.
The attachment (many are unhealthy) to our relationships is a HUGE thing for everyone. Regardless if it's our family members, friends, GF/BF/Husband/Wife! This is part of our primordial brain of survival. The 1st part of this video about the basic needs I didn't realize until I viewed this video. The other thing to mention and realize is the power of our own minds and beliefs. Most people haven't been taught or learned about this. This is another aspect of ourselves we must become aware of and learn how to deal with. Our mind, beliefs, and brain affect ALL areas of our life! Regardless if we want them to be or not. Very good video. Thank you!
You are so right, I’ve been a people pleaser while using my own version of this mindset. I began to hate myself due to my inability to care and and thought I became a people pleaser which made me feel narcissistic. I still have so many regrets but someone helped me without knowing it because I was going through hard times and now I know why I’m so bitter, it’s because I’ve been depressed my whole life from caring about others thoughts
I have started doing this through a lot of self-thought. I have come to the same conclusion that you have and agree with you 100%. Find a hobby that you can afford, love, and never master. Meaning of life....have as much fun and do w/e it takes to make you happy.
It was exactly the same with me, this conclusion came to me after weeks and weeks of thinking and I've never felt more liberated, and I'm glad that so many others also had the same train of thought because that only shows that we're probably not wrong to think that way
thank you so much, you have no idea how much this had helped me. im going through some rough times right now really feeling worthless and a loner but understanding why we care about things so much has opened me to a whole new perspective.
I had some thoughts and insecurities about my scores at school, the way I looked (if I was too fatty) and way others. Now, I just realize that I don't care of anything that has been said to me 'cause is useless. I couldn't be happier of having a long life with a healthy body and mindset with the people I love. Life comes with a bunch of different experiences worth of exploring❤.
I agree with the notion that we should view our life as an experience and shouldn’t value superficial things. However, although I would never advocate people pleasing, I do think that we should still be compassionate and learn from other people. We need to balance caring about others and our own needs of ourselves as people. Eliminating caring completely is inhumane because we share the world with others; but viewing, caring and life from a different perspective (like you said as an experience) helps a lot. I don’t personally think life should be viewed as a game as it is reality and not something we should take too lightly, but I agree that we need to learn let go of our own inner critics and stop being judgemental and live life to the fullest. Overall, great video. As a person who has an anxiety disorder, I used to people please a lot until I realized that it was hurting myself. That’s why balance is very important as that’s how most things in life work.
I also happen to recently come across this video and I relate in giving importance to small comments and things like that or feeling things deeply😭 there's nothing wrong with genuinely being a caring person but it is VERY important to have a balance. Not everyone will think like us genuine kind people do
I learned how to stop caring about most people in middle school. I was going through some serious shit and I got beaten up for the first time just because of rumors that I was hitting girls. How it all started is that I refused to stand for the pledge of allegiance and some girls were getting pissed off because I was supposedly being "Anti-American". Yes I went to one of those schools. So then at the last day of school, the girls were pushing me when I was trying to go home. And since they were pushing first, I pushed back and I ran off. So the start of the next year, they were still harrasing me. And so when I went home, I wondered what was wrong with me. I couldn't tell if it was because I'm gay, or that I'm not completely white, or that I'm a left-winger in a right-winger town, or that's because of my looks, or how I dressed. And so I kept thinking, and came to this conclusion. "Why should I care when others don't?" So I started doing what I liked. And I've never cared about nearly anyone or anything since. Sorry for this long ass message.
When fcked stuff happens in my life i come back to this vid and remind myself it doesnt matter, and it helps put my mind in a nicer state and realise that the problems i have that seem so big to me arent anything in the grand scheme of things. Everyone should strive for this mindset and problems become smaller in the world.
This was very thought provoking and helpful. I’ve had some circumstances occur in my life that made me take a step back and reevaluate my life and the “why” of me caring so much. It’s not to blame other people, but I found that those close to me helped shape my perception of caring. I realize that it has kept me bound mentally. Because I always measured my actions according to their opinions. And to shift my mindset on this wasn’t easy. But it is liberating. I still love and respect those individuals but I don’t care what they think like I did before. And it’s so much easier to breathe. It’s like I have a new outlook now that is my own. Thank you for sharing.
Just another thought: You can fulfill these needs by yourself. 1. You can control your reactions to external thing 2. You can choose to accept yourself and everything as it is and as it goes (the impermanence of all things) by being present 3. You can realise the consistency of change and impermanence
It all started when I fell in love with a girl and putting her first. When she broke up with me I was so obsessed and I cared or overthink too much about her. Now thanks for these tip.
@Arth Amazing Man, it's actually a very similar situation of mine. The girl I just talked about also left me like that, she broke me the 7th time but she kept saying "I still care for you" and I don't even care anymore. I don't like her, but I can't hate her. Let's Move On mate, we're man!
I think the only way to stop caring is to stop judging and observing others,I find that when If I mock other people for their insecurities, mine become more vivid to myself,therefore going through an ego death.we just have to show gratitude for all things,especially ourselves
Dude, I love your perspective on the universe and how little time we have on this planet. In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter what other people think. Now it's time to live it out! :)
I self-taught myself this, through not-so-great experiences with others. I would always try to talk to people how I felt and stuff, I learned the hard way that virtually no one truly cares enough. While it may not be healthy to bottle in most of my emotions, learning to stop caring about all these negative things has helped me an insane amount with coping and dealing with stress.
I talk with people about emotions, but only from a practical and analytical way which makes it far more interesting. Pattern recognizing and thinking critically based on the reality that our brains are evolved organs and what makes us human is that we've become aware of this and our awareness alone gives us power to change our own biology through will power and time. We put all our skill points into adaptability, so decide what you wanna be and be that. Just don't give up.
When I discovered that pleasing people is simply an instint that remains from evolution and not something necesary to do in life in order to be happy, that truly made me feel way more free
For those of you that have trouble imagining how to stop caring. Running helped me a lot. It makes you gain perspective on the world, your problems and how some things just don’t matter. I usually go in the evening when there’s not too many ppl and i can be alone with my thoughts and reflect on life.
wear a neon reflective vest so u dont get hit by a car! and spiked shin guards to ward off loose biting dogs.. OOPS there i go again, caring too much! ha ha !
i have not been running in a while cuz i only have pink shoes & i never have a good outfit to match & i don’t want people looking at me like what the heck her outfit don’t match her shoes lol but i shouldn’t even care i should jus go run cuz i love it and it feels good
@@littlep420 go to a thrift store to get cheap matching clothes; or to a lower priced store like target, etc plenty of matching clothes there! when you LOOK good you FEEL good eh! less than 1% of my clothes are expensive!
Great video homie! When I was younger I used to never care what people thought but in the last couple of years and a lot more social media time, I noticed I let those little fears slip back into my mind and control me. This video was super helpful and truly liberating once I heard the part that we all end up in the same place! Life is finite so, live to the fullest and follow your highest excitement! A quote that popped up in my head after watching this was "You only die once, you live every day" which goes against the common saying "you only live once" - Keep up the great work!
Cole Hastings same here! Changed the way I think about things and then this video came out! It’s interesting how the universe sends you more of what you think about!
It's funny, I've been adopting this mindset on my own ever since the beginning of my junior year, this just solidified it more, so thank you, I really appreciate it.
The problem for me started when I developed shyness which then turned into social anxiety because I started caring about what others thought of me whenever I said something awkward or inappropriate in a conversation, it got worse and worse until now I started caring too much about people’s opinions that I couldn’t even think of what I wanted to say, like my mind just goes blank whenever I’m in those situations now. When I’m finally able to come up with a response in a conversation while it’s somewhat relatable, it ends up coming out awkward and robot like because I kept overthinking it, and then people started making fun of me for that, I really wish I could fix this because It’s been ruining my mental health and social life since childhood.
I can definitely agree that overthinking so much has impacted my life a lot and make it harder for me to socialize and do the things I love to do. I still do overthink but way less compared to the past 6 years and as a result, i feel like im more comfortable doing anything without giving two shts about what ppl think about me or what i think about myself, i just do them
I wish I had your mindset man. I'm really struggling with depression, social anxiety and I care too much what others think of me. It paralyses me at times. I'm trying most days. This is definitely inspiring ! 🙌 I am working on myself atm, and it's definitely not easy, but I have to try and remind myself why I'm doing this in the first place.
There's no reason to have social anxiety. Just remember, even if you make a fool of yourself, no one cares and no one will remember, they're too consumed with themselves. And no interaction is awkward unless YOU decide that it is. Even if you approach a girl, fumble your words and look like an idiot, just call it out. Be like "wow, I guess I'm really nervous, you must be super cute because this only happens when I'm around super cute girls. I'm nervous, what's your name?" Just roll with whatever happens and you'll be coolio.
Cole, this is very insightful and helpful. I am struggling to free myself. Thank you. I truly hope you are the same in person. We need people like you to keep it real. I wish you all the best in life.
i struggle badly with mental illness so this probably won't change anything but thank you for opening me up to this mindset so i can work on it in the future
I’ll be 25 next month ,and i realize life just goes on whether you have friends or not a girlfriend/boyfriend or whatever you’re dealing with right now. The good ones stay and the foes fade away Don’t get upset on what you can not control
It’s so hard to stop caring about what others think & being more confident in what I do/say. I always hold back when it comes to wanting to speak my mind or say what I really feel. Plus I don’t look good at all, so I’m constantly feeling like people r lookin at me callin me ugly even tho I kno they aren’t.
your looks have nothing to do with your value. You thoughts & opinions matter no matter what. Also, be aware that society has programmed us to think what is beautiful. Beauty is whatever you find it in. Differences are what make us who we are. If we have a big nose, remember that you got that nose from your ancestors.Keep in mind that beauty standards change ALL the time. What is considered ugly right now, may be considered beautiful in a few years. Who cares though? Who cares what those people think about you? Does it really matter when you think about it? What is them thinking you're ugly really going to do? NOthing. You are as beautiful as you think you are. There are people who will see you for who you are, and will find you beautiful just the way you are. You ever seen someone with confidence that wouldn't typically be considered beautiful, but they are still admired, and seen as good looking? It's all in how you carry yourself. How you think about yourself. You walk around, knowing that all of your features are unique to you. Passed down from generation to generation of 2 families, each time. That's so many people and combinations that came together to form you. You are the only you, and that makes you special.
@@ColeHastings No doubt Cole. I appreciate the video. Really like your vibe and I really think it can help at least some people to get to a better state of mind cause lord knows, we need it these days.
I have a lot of anxiety and care a lot about past relationships and people to the point I will get myself to feel like shit if they are satisfied... I think it's time to change that
I was once like this, and i told myself i wouldnt care about what other people think, but i think that the lonelyness of usually being outcasted overpowered my then mindset, now i overthink way to much, have anxiety, and my confidence and self esteem drastically lowered, but this video helped me open my eyes once again, and has given me a jumpstart to being someone i can be proud of and smile at
So glad I grew up not caring what people think of me, I love my own company and I'm pretty chill, feel bad for people who are constantly freaking out 💜
Which one of these needs are you most guilty of?
Need for Control guy here
In my younger years I’ve blindly trusted employers and other institutions that didn’t serve me. I’m now learning to manage myself and my time so I don’t need to be back in that position to survive....
...However, this leaves room for analysis paralysis on what I can control and what I cannot. Essentialism by Greg Mckeown helped me deal with this but your video has reminded me of the importance of this
Need for acceptance (by everyone) pretty much negatively influences every part of my life. Been working on it.
That's such a good book! Love ot
Same dude, lonely days get tough sometimes cause of this
constantly thinking about peoples perceptions before i do or say something. trying to self-affirmate before i go to sleep of learning to shut that part me off.
I am slowly starting to pay no attention to other people, and set myself first. I feel like our society is revolved around pleasing other people, that we stop caring about things that actually matter.
Me too seems the older I get the more comfortable I feel in my skin and embrace who I am! We got this bro! 👊

I like to think that when people say something funny about me or laugh at me, it is them who have a problem, it is them who are insecure.
It's weird because most people are people pleasers, but at the same time nobody really gives a shit about anybody else. It's like living in a movie and everyone is playing a part.

Getting off social media is a good way to cleanse your mind.
Having more real friends that you actually meet in person is better than scrolling your phone

@@clashoclan3371 That’s probably gonna be me soon…
@@clashoclan3371 why do you ppl care so much when someone lives with there parents...whats wrong with that?
As long as you are not a freeloader, helps in chores, contributes financially then I don't see something wrong with living with your parents.
what helped me combat social anxiety a lot is the realization that people are not going to focus on your messing up, because they all worry about themselves to begin with. And if you do mess up, it's going to be forgotten very quickly by others. Everyone is living their own lives, has their own stories, and this liberated me from the fear that people will judge me for anything I say or do. I still haven't fully recovered from social anxiety because it's still there like "hey, you just said this and that to your best friend now he hates you", though I hope even those thoughts of anxiety go as well.
@@clashoclan3371 what's wrong with living with their parents tho. I'm a Filipino and a lot of adults here still lives with their parents.
This video made me realize how much of my time I'm wasting on earth, not doing what I want to do just because I care too much of what others think. For example, I usually never comment on youtube videos because I always want to have the perfect thing to say so that I'm able to please everybody, so I decided that this comment will truly show me that i have the option to not care and do what i want.

@Thegingerbreadm4n logical fallacy detected! I sense someone with an IQ of 5!
How do you do that?
don't you think i would if i knew how to
Simply asking myself “wait... why should I care?” literally helped me overcome my crippling social anxiety. There are so many moments throughout my day where I think I can’t do that or I can’t wear that or I can’t go there simply because I am 100% fixated on other people and what they will think. I don’t even stop to think that maybe it just doesn’t matter and I should decide what I’m going to do based on what I want.
That's actually the best advice one can use.
That really works.........
The question 'why? 'literally helped me. 👍
your perspective really shifted my views for me, thank you
Do u one better, say to yourself ' no need to care, ' and add in' there is no benefit' or your own extra reasoning phase if required.
I just ask myself this: "How about them? Oh, then how about me?" That phrase helps me a lot.
Because, ups or downs, people would still say something about you, that's a life reality.
I like the way you think man. We're all gonna die in the end, might as well live authentically.

I learned this about 1 1/2 years ago… it started with deleting social media and turning off the news. The world and people around you are much better than you’re being told
Bro, I need to do this. I don't know if I want to completely turn everything off, but I want to severely limit it. As in, I'm not doing it out of mindless compulsion anymore.
@@aIkaIi it is freeing. I deleted my Twitter and it was refreshing. I don’t miss it, and I didn’t miss it. I think I was at the point of being over Twitter that’s probably why I didn’t miss it.

@@aIkaIi I did that and it’s way better for me now so it’s really gonna help u a lot with it
Although I have social media, I don’t use it too often and I don’t see it the same way anymore. You don’t have to get rid of social media, you just gotta understand why it can be harmful.
I did this 4 years ago and never looked back since. It’s nice to reflect upon yourself and live your own life, how it’s treating you well.
To actually not care about anything, you just need to do two things. Have 0 expectations, and do not care what a single person thinks of you. Do those two things, and remain grateful, and you can be happy while being in even the worst of situations

„Reality - expectations = happiness“
- *Elon Musk*
the thing is it's not just a single person.
This video does explain why I feel so judged and don't really fit in with a group, even with my own family. The thing is, I've spent too much time alone, talking to myself, not realizing how negative the impact was on me. And, I haven't accepted myself for who I am, just spent time reflecting on my flaws.
I don't know if this helps or not, but personally I've been trying to see myself through other people's eyes more. Like I try to listen to little compliments I get, and I try to remember that my friends don't see me as the mess that I see myself as. They see me as just as amazing of a person as I think they are. I'm also trying not to overthink as much, or insult myself in my thoughts as much. And I've been constantly reminding myself that I'm a person, just like everyone else. I'm flawed but so is everyone else. You might have flaws, but hey, so do I! That doesn't make either of us awful people. I think people like us just have to focus a little more on our good traits and hope that someday we'll like ourselves more. And if you can spend time around good people that you care about that helps too. But anyways, sorry my comment is so long. I hope you're doing okay

This video is definitely for me. I used to care way too much. I abandoned my own needs, and always priotized people’s needs before mine. It’s ridiculous as it sounds. A while ago, I was going through such a bad time that I couldn’t function, I mostly just sleep. One night, my friend texted me saying she felt under the weather. I immediately went to buy food and medicine, and brought it to her. I felt exhausted mentally and physically but never showed it.
I always agree to hang out with my friend even on days I really needed space for myself. I’d always be willing to walk the extra miles to help people with their problems. I made people’s problem my problem
It was extreme. I was over caring and over considerate
Now I’m focusing on myself more. I ignore messages unless it’s something urgent. I tell my friend my reasons and that I hope they don’t take it personal. It’s so not easy for me because I feel guilty for needing space and not solving their problem, or listening to their rants.
At least I feel like I’m slowly putting down a weight I’ve been carrying. I’m able to hear myself more when there’s no other voices and dramas and ranting. I don’t force myself to smile when I want to cry. I feel much better when I care less
You are kind. I love you, beautiful soul
Awww
just know youre loved, appreciated, and ENOUGH
You're a good kind person and sometimes others will take advantage of that. When someone asks you to do something for them and you don't feel like it just say, "no". No. - is a complete sentence. You don't even need to explain. And if they're a true friend they will understand. If they are a user and/or toxic they will get angry. It's a good test. I had to learn this as I was also a "people pleaser".
I feel you bro
That's y many people around me keep advantage of me in including my friend that in the end is fake frient
I've been struggling with social anxiety disorder since middle school, the concept of "not caring" sounds like a dream come true, i wish it was this easy for me to stop thinking about what people think of me :'(
That's why he's telling you this overtly. It's a "how to" video; he's not expecting you to flip a switch :) deliberate effort will go a long way eventually

@@X1Z.z how original, taking bible verses out of context and taking it literally
i found that not trying to explain yourself or proving yourself is super helpful
I'm trying to develop this ability. I've had this odd "try to make things easier for others" thing hard-wired in me since I was a child. The goody-two-shoes effect. But I've learned that some folks won't care or appreciate what you do (or think you're dumb because you're working so hard, or a brown-noser, or whatever) and not everyone's gonna care about your efforts or appreciate you or what you do. I'm trying to remove the "doormat" label from my forehead and just do the work I need to do and move on. No more taking on more than my fair share just because I'm bored and I feel it needs doing. They can get off their phones and their butts and do their work instead of "miss stickler for the rules" doing it for them because I don't want to get in trouble.
That's the one benefit of getting older with a shortening temper: running out of F's to give. Just wish it'd happened sooner.
People are going to talk about you no matter what you do, so you might as well do whatever brings you joy and live your best life!😊
Well said 🥰
Yes that’s true but for somebody with social anxiety any amount of talking about us effects us. It’s not that easy to do.
Yup and even if they do, that means they're not worth your time
@•Saab• • That's what I've been keeping in the mind as soon as I realized this fact, it's really just whatever that brings joy to your life. You'll never please everyone, so just stop caring too much and keep on doing what you love the most! 💖

I’ve been a people pleaser my whole life and I’m just starting to learn to do what I want in life. I have respect for my family but often I’ll be persuaded to do things one way or another depending on someone else’s views. This video helped me realize that our time on earth really is limited and that it shouldn’t matter how I live my life so long as I’m happy and doing what I want to do to get the most out of what time I still have.
If everyone had your mind set, we would probably be have less violence.

@randall-flaggwow thanks to destroy my ego bro, this really take this seriously/personally because ur jokes but I remember I need to be matured and not take this personally/seriously, thanks bro
I am the opposite of this. I don't care about anything at all. I am so careless that I don't even care about myself. Now I want to start caring but I'm here to tell people, you can stop caring, but don't go too low.
The main idea is stop caring about things that negatively affects you, like what people think of you, seeking validation, or always expecting the worst instead of believing in yourself. You shouldn't care about those things and care more on what actually matters like your personal growth, family, friends, hobby, things that makes you happy and who you are etc.
You shouldnt ignore every problem. That would lead to a even bigger problem haha
Story of my life , it's important to care just enough so you don't destroy yourself !
Who?
cares
i thought people who don't care about themselves always just care about others happiness ......
For me I learned to stop caring so much cause I'm done.I'm done with fake friends I'm done with fake ass people with ungrateful un appreciative people with nasty attitudes all the time.It use to have a impact on me but not no more I'm "done with all bullshit now" I love myself more and whatever issues I have I'm working on it on my own....I'm In control I'm a surviving warrior in life so I put myself first before anything else.Being strong ain't always easy but it takes work patience,faith and practice.
Same man same, I let go of all my friends that didnt even wrote my a text or gave my a call in the last 3 months. It's hard to stop giving a damn when you love people and you want to be loved but I guess it's a part of life each and everyone has to learn that
@@lecomtedeneuch9994 That's why you gotta be very careful with ,who you trust and who you deal with.Cause some will find reasons to torment you and make everything seem like it's your fault when it's not.Do what I do if they continue to annoy you or piss you off with bullshit nonsense if they aren't sorry and don't care you move on...and cut their asses off for good and I promise you it'll get easier for me cause you'll realized they were the failures in your friend ship not you.If they don't care about you or respect you then they don't deserve to remain in your presence.If you cut them off you'll feel much better and peaceful where you know that they were fake asf to even waste your time and energy being their friends.It's pointless to have people who are around you that ain't for you or if they don't really have your back at all.Just to leave you high and dry like a dying tree...know your worth and know what you deserve man don't stand for that shit man!.Can't no one do it but you.
@@manofsteelgoodmanll7925 I began a healing process one half a year ago, I lost 36 kg (was 119kg), I'm now 83kg for 1m94, I'm fit, I became confident in myself and I remain strong during covid times although I couldn't see anyone for 16 months in the situation I was in. Now, I begin to take things slow and to be a better judge of character, I'm not akward anymore bc I don't think I'm akward anymore. I'm happier than ever but yeah sometimes it's hard when you have no around bc you have to create new friendships and relationships at the age of 26 but I never feel really down. I'm going to the gym 5 days a week and I'm about to start dancing classes and MMA. Life is getting better each day and I now know that I'm gonna be fine !

You spitting the facts!! I have delt with so MANY and still deal with fake people. I'm sick of them, I dont spend any time with the fakes. There not worth my precious time. Exactly, loving yourself comes first. I'm still trying to and I'm going through alot right now after a incident and I'm trying to love myself again. Its hard after you put so much energy into that one person and they leave... I lost myself in the process. I agree with what you said 100% though.
This video reminds me of how sweet and loving my mom was and how she raised us and just how the world can tarnish all that. This world doesn't deserve the kind and loving person she made me to be, it's really sad that people take people pleasers like me for granted. I learned here that it's completely ok, to dismiss those who mean absolutely nothing to us. From here on out, I will always voice my opinion instead of just trying to make others happy or like me.. 😊 May we all go and step on a few peoples toes. 😉
Well you are absolutely doing the right thing you don't have to force people to like you.. remain who you are and those that are meant to be your life will always be there for you...well how are you doing today
Its tough coming a from a soft place but it’s better. You got this.
your message resonate with me. I'm too soft because of I'm nurture and I'm slowly getting to know my worth after having terrible experiences. May God be always on our side.
My issue is I care what people think of me in public. Which is silly since I don't know them.
True but at the same time think to your self "who are they" a bunch of absolutely nobody's.
Youll always come across people who tell you want to do etc.. who are they and what authority do they have over you ... Nothing ..just look at them like they nobody and mean f all to you.
If they ain't paying your bills they not relevant to your life.. so focus on you and what benefits you only.. you gotta take care of your self first before you look after your own family.

I have a friend that told me, "There's no such things as Maturity, only awareness and it's the only thing you need to know." When being told by that, I thought of it before that it's like when people ask you to be mature, and stop acting like a child or baby, you would think of being mature but you don't know how it'll make you one. So I told her that "you're right". At the moment, I thought to myself that it's better to have knowledge to things on your own then later on, listen to the thoughts of the society, so that you won't get overwhelmed, pressured, overthinking about the same subject, and also changing thoughts without thinking straight.
maturity is a biproduct of awareness and acceptance my grandpa taught me that 1 like how my friend taught me that there is no good are evil only actions and consequences

@@xargalakthe7thplanar326 Right. But hopefully when people say that you're not mature enough, we'll say something like, "chill, im a human being and i know for a fact that people will always mature, and that we don't know how, but we know how to make ourselves, still ourselves." 🙂💓 I was once tired of being called things that aren't real but it wasn't because of being too sensitive, but it's already fking with my mind.
I’m currently living by one motto in order to stop caring.
People’s opinions never cashed me a check. 😎
Yeah... we no longer live in a civil and a social world and what people think cant be taken seriously these days
Sometimes though, others opinions can help direct you to better cashing
I'm pretty sure people's opinions provided that check. Silly

@@ragav.r7060 A heart. ❤️ =
we all do - to smaller or greater extent but as Cole said, be present and know what matters to you the most.
also, if you guys could have a look at my new yt channel on mindfulness, I would be super grateful!
1. It's okay to care a lot, it's not okay to hurt yourself caring for other people's issues.
2. Do not cut off your feelings all together, everyday you will feel less alive then before you make that mistake.
3. Know when to express yourself and who to express yourself too. Don't show your feelings to anyone who undermines ANY of your feelings.
4. Empathy is a sign of understanding.. its a form of critical thinking. Don't downright throw it away, just know WHO to empathize with.
5. Follow your passion, your dreams, your hope, your inspiration. You follow those and no one's feelings will matter and the meaning in this video you would have solved yourself.
6. If you dont have any passions, dreams or inspirations. You did number two and cut off your emotions to much. (Your best bet is to get those feelings back and to do that follow the dreams you stopped caring about or ignored. Make your childhood dreams you stopped caring come true... it will surely bring back feelings you lost long ago).
In short, know when to do things at the right time. If life were to be only about choosing based on an advice, we wouldn't have problems after making the same mistake multiple times.
Genuine question: what if you've never had any childhood passions/dreams/aspirations in the first place? Because I sure as heck didn't.
@@Dxpress_ I have similar problem. What if you just realised that your dream in life is just to beloved. You feel all goals are already fulfilled and feeling content everyday but other people expected more from you.
@@Dxpress_ It’s good to have some kind of ambition, go out and do something that even slightly interests you. Whatever it is, as long as it isn’t selling drugs or some shit, take the inch and run a mile.
@@thebush6379 But people need to be taught this at a young age because it could help prevent trauma later on because trust me my parents acted like trauma didnt even exist. So when i got hit by constant abuse by the people around me... it hit me HARD
@Dxpress You definitely had some they just might not be big things. If you didn't have any childhood dreams you were likely very happy as a child or knew your parents couldn't give you much. They might have been small at the moment things like wanting to go surfing or going to a carnival or watch a certain movie and just because they aren't careers doesn't mean you have to be sad about that. Society tricks you into wanting careers (because they just want brainwashed workers). The point being you might be free spirited like a horse you know to cherish moments at that second rather then make a life's goal to achieve something. (Nothing wrong with that either.. having a career is better for your future but at the same time. You can die tomarrow and not realize it and then that's that.) They're is no wrong way to play Life, and people tend to forget that. Derphan is right though about one thing its good to have some ambition. Ambition is a wonderful emotion to have... the first time i felt Ambition was when i went Boxing. I usually am not the competitive type, i follow my flow. But this one dude who i was good friends always made me want to be better then him. We were friends but it was like a Rivalry at the same time. It's an Addicting emotion to have but it makes you never want to give up. If you don't have one... try to find your hobbies. Trust me... its an emotion you wont want to get rid of.

My thoughts exactly bro. We are not these flesh vessels we inhabit, we are the awareness that controls them... that’s it. How they look, what they wear, doesn’t matter.
That's what I'm talkin bout
Flesh Vessels would be an awesome band name lol. I totally agree too, nothing really matters except our awareness of the world around us and our place in it.
I Agree Brother.....Tell It
@Adam that awareness is YOU bro ur individual soul/self.
my guy out here spittin truth
I just graduated high school, and I'm doing basically nothing at the moment because I need time to just have fun and not worry about anything. I definitely have a problem with caring too much. My therapist suggests that I should be more selfish and not care what people think. Right now my goal is to improve my mental health status enough to where I can survive on my own and live my own life. I don't care how long it takes, I just want to be happy with who I am and find my passion, but it's a long process. Thanks for this eye-opening video Cole.
Exactly, we care too much for out future and we dont give the importance to our present, the true meaning of life is to be happy and if you are happy with nothing you will be happy with everything

@@CaptainEvillian Now that I’m reading my comment again, I see what you mean… Still keeping it in tho
Same here. I definitely need a refresher. I am starting to care a little too much.
Slowly but surely, this is the mindset I'm adopting.
It's truly powerful. I used to deal with people who used me to pile their drama onto and vent incessantly. Now I refuse to engage for my own wellbeing. I do not care anymore how it makes me look, how people think of me, or anything. I'm just living more freely, though there's obviously more work for me to still do. In the past, I cared so much about how I looked and what people thought of my personality so much that I would change it to better fit their desires and interests. I don't do that anymore. You like or dislike me as I am, and I couldn't care any less who thinks what.
Quite an astounding degree of insight & wisdom, thank you.
Thank you for watching
There is deep wisdom in these teachings. The sooner you learn not to care at all about the judgments of those around you, the faster you acquire integrity, which is a key to inner freedom. Thanks for your great video. Every single person should see it - and be free! Best regards from Sweden.
currently in the middle of learning not to care too much. As much as possible, I don’t want to please people anymore because I realized that the thinking i used to carry with me took so much of the respect that i should have had for myself before. Like It is okay if they don’t like me by the way i look, and how awkward i interact with people brought by me being an introverted person.
I learned this the hard way by having so many nights spent with overthinking which also made my heart be so heavy to the point that i was about to lose control of my mind and heart.
i must give myself enough respect and importance because in that way, i won’t easily be having lots of second thoughts, i’ll be more of myself, and be confident.
Months after quarantine and being away from people, I got to focus on myself and what actually matters. I forgot what life was like and so did everyone else. When I finally started talking to people again, I was so much more loose and cooler, I’m now way more popular. At the same time I was watching family guy a lot and I decided Peter is an amazing role model for not giving a shit
Wow, I remember the same thing happening to me around 2017, but change the animated tv show role model for not giving a shit to Rick from Rick and Morty, it really changed my perspective of life, kinda like the beginning of the rest of my life
THIS
I've never been a social person and everyone talking shit about me because of that and i was like ok if you like going out do it just without me like why i have to be the same? those guys going out to drink throw up and repeat over night thats just not for me
I think one important step to stop caring is getting comfortable with death. And the people that got comfortable with death are those who experienced a psilocybin mushroom trip. Mike Tyson for example

One thing that helps me feel less embarrassed and depressed is remembering that an awkward situation doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world; the world will not swallow me whole. Therefore I should just forget about the situation because one mistake isn’t going to ruin my life.
I've adopted this mindset and way of living for a few years now. It was a gradual process to be comfortable with being the outsider. I've always been the outsider and loner but now I take it for what it is and draw some positivity from it.

This is one of the people who gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 2 months ago about self development and now have 69 subs and almost 55 hours watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
My list:
1. Don't waste your precious energy and time on em. Let them waste theirs. They will just drown you into the pit of passive-aggressive "I am righteous than thou" type of toxicity, so don't fall for it. Cut them out.
2. Cherish yourself. Cuz not all people would do it.
3. Ups or downs, people would still find anything about you for the sake of having something to talk about, out of boredom or just for clout. And this type of grumpy people is everywhere.
Here's my hug for y'all. Stay safe and be happy. :)
🤗
thank you those are some great advices
Thank you I needed it at this time
first point is toxic. don't let them waste their time. give them the energy they give you. don't comletely give 0 fuck about them
Here's a hug 🤗 back 🤗
See, the problem is when this guy is his “authentic self” he’s like going out having a good time with friends, staying healthy, and hanging out in his nice apartment, when I’m my “authentic self” I’m wasting whole days eating potato chips on the couch. I need to care more
There is absolutely a balance when it comes to our cares. In the wrong context, "not caring" could lead to worse states of being. What I've learned, at least for myself, is that I need to categorize my cares into 2 "baskets". One basket is "I need to care", the other is "It's not my business".
Obviously, if not caring about a particular thing leads to further decay in mind, body or spirit, then you need to change that.
Sometimes you can dissect different aspects of one issue and categorize your cares. For example: We shouldn't care what other people think to the point of it controlling our lives, but we should care to the point to where we set a good example and are being fully understood in our expressions. That way, we don't care what they think about the things that make us intrinsically who we are, but we do care that we are effectively being seen for who we actually are. Truly, "you" are not a slob who just devours potato chips. That's a learned behavior and habitual program. Who you are is deep at the core of your being, but life has attached labels and filters to you which have become a sort of "natural" response or way of handling things. Who you are is so much more magnificent than all of that. So you should care to show up as your true self, but not care what others think about your value as you navigate that journey. Disciplining ourselves and evolving is for the sake of our higher calling, not for the approval of others in a small moment.
I apologize for the rant though lol.
I just felt inspired to share this with you. Have a blessed day friend 🙏
It's about not caring what other people think about you, but you should still care about what you think about yourself. If you aren't happy with yourself then you should improve on that, but don't change yourself for someone else.
just have balance bruh lol
Same here 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Struggling with my mental health today. This video really helped. I appreciate the content so much.
just how much we made our mental health uneasy ...... lol
R u okay right now gengo gengi?
The attachment (many are unhealthy) to our relationships is a HUGE thing for everyone. Regardless if it's our family members, friends, GF/BF/Husband/Wife! This is part of our primordial brain of survival. The 1st part of this video about the basic needs I didn't realize until I viewed this video.
The other thing to mention and realize is the power of our own minds and beliefs. Most people haven't been taught or learned about this. This is another aspect of ourselves we must become aware of and learn how to deal with. Our mind, beliefs, and brain affect ALL areas of our life! Regardless if we want them to be or not.
Very good video. Thank you!
Whenever I start getting really sad and start caring about shit too much I come back to this video and it helps me feel better I love you
People, don't be too sad about Caring. Caring is also a good thing. Don't cast it out completely in situations when it needs to be presented.
You are so right, I’ve been a people pleaser while using my own version of this mindset. I began to hate myself due to my inability to care and and thought I became a people pleaser which made me feel narcissistic. I still have so many regrets but someone helped me without knowing it because I was going through hard times and now I know why I’m so bitter, it’s because I’ve been depressed my whole life from caring about others thoughts
How about importance of selected people’s opinion during our short life span?
right. Reading the room is essential at times
I have started doing this through a lot of self-thought. I have come to the same conclusion that you have and agree with you 100%. Find a hobby that you can afford, love, and never master. Meaning of life....have as much fun and do w/e it takes to make you happy.
It was exactly the same with me, this conclusion came to me after weeks and weeks of thinking and I've never felt more liberated, and I'm glad that so many others also had the same train of thought because that only shows that we're probably not wrong to think that way

thank you so much, you have no idea how much this had helped me. im going through some rough times right now really feeling worthless and a loner but understanding why we care about things so much has opened me to a whole new perspective.
I had some thoughts and insecurities about my scores at school, the way I looked (if I was too fatty) and way others. Now, I just realize that I don't care of anything that has been said to me 'cause is useless. I couldn't be happier of having a long life with a healthy body and mindset with the people I love. Life comes with a bunch of different experiences worth of exploring❤.
I agree with the notion that we should view our life as an experience and shouldn’t value superficial things. However, although I would never advocate people pleasing, I do think that we should still be compassionate and learn from other people. We need to balance caring about others and our own needs of ourselves as people.
Eliminating caring completely is inhumane because we share the world with others; but viewing, caring and life from a different perspective (like you said as an experience) helps a lot. I don’t personally think life should be viewed as a game as it is reality and not something we should take too lightly, but I agree that we need to learn let go of our own inner critics and stop being judgemental and live life to the fullest.
Overall, great video. As a person who has an anxiety disorder, I used to people please a lot until I realized that it was hurting myself. That’s why balance is very important as that’s how most things in life work.
couldn’t have said it any better
Totally agree with your comment
I also happen to recently come across this video and I relate in giving importance to small comments and things like that or feeling things deeply😭 there's nothing wrong with genuinely being a caring person but it is VERY important to have a balance. Not everyone will think like us genuine kind people do
perfectly put
I think many people forget that life is a shared experience and doesn’t necessarily only revolve around us. We need to be aware of others as well.
A couple of near-death experiences slammed this realization into my consciousness.
Did you have near death-experiences?

I learned how to stop caring about most people in middle school. I was going through some serious shit and I got beaten up for the first time just because of rumors that I was hitting girls. How it all started is that I refused to stand for the pledge of allegiance and some girls were getting pissed off because I was supposedly being "Anti-American". Yes I went to one of those schools. So then at the last day of school, the girls were pushing me when I was trying to go home. And since they were pushing first, I pushed back and I ran off.
So the start of the next year, they were still harrasing me. And so when I went home, I wondered what was wrong with me. I couldn't tell if it was because I'm gay, or that I'm not completely white, or that I'm a left-winger in a right-winger town, or that's because of my looks, or how I dressed. And so I kept thinking, and came to this conclusion. "Why should I care when others don't?" So I started doing what I liked. And I've never cared about nearly anyone or anything since. Sorry for this long ass message.
When fcked stuff happens in my life i come back to this vid and remind myself it doesnt matter, and it helps put my mind in a nicer state and realise that the problems i have that seem so big to me arent anything in the grand scheme of things. Everyone should strive for this mindset and problems become smaller in the world.
This was very thought provoking and helpful.
I’ve had some circumstances occur in my life that made me take a step back and reevaluate my life and the “why” of me caring so much. It’s not to blame other people, but I found that those close to me helped shape my perception of caring. I realize that it has kept me bound mentally. Because I always measured my actions according to their opinions.
And to shift my mindset on this wasn’t easy. But it is liberating. I still love and respect those individuals but I don’t care what they think like I did before. And it’s so much easier to breathe. It’s like I have a new outlook now that is my own.
Thank you for sharing.
Love to hear that ❤
Just another thought: You can fulfill these needs by yourself.
1. You can control your reactions to external thing
2. You can choose to accept yourself and everything as it is and as it goes (the impermanence of all things) by being present
3. You can realise the consistency of change and impermanence
It all started when I fell in love with a girl and putting her first. When she broke up with me I was so obsessed and I cared or overthink too much about her. Now thanks for these tip.
i tried committing suicide, later that day my partner broke up with me. its fine im getting better now
@@zuky_puky4246 yeah that's the same thing that happened to me. when i was super depressed, she broke me. but now im better but not as good as before
@Arth Amazing Man, it's actually a very similar situation of mine. The girl I just talked about also left me like that, she broke me the 7th time but she kept saying "I still care for you" and I don't even care anymore. I don't like her, but I can't hate her. Let's Move On mate, we're man!
Just think of them as just a person you didn't know, because they once were.
Kinda in that situation right now, I just cant seem to let go and its bothering me 😑
I may not care about myself. But i care sooo much about others...
And im happy about that. Kind is the best thing you can be.
I think the only way to stop caring is to stop judging and observing others,I find that when If I mock other people for their insecurities, mine become more vivid to myself,therefore going through an ego death.we just have to show gratitude for all things,especially ourselves
Dude, I love your perspective on the universe and how little time we have on this planet. In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter what other people think. Now it's time to live it out! :)
I self-taught myself this, through not-so-great experiences with others. I would always try to talk to people how I felt and stuff, I learned the hard way that virtually no one truly cares enough. While it may not be healthy to bottle in most of my emotions, learning to stop caring about all these negative things has helped me an insane amount with coping and dealing with stress.
yes!!
I talk with people about emotions, but only from a practical and analytical way which makes it far more interesting. Pattern recognizing and thinking critically based on the reality that our brains are evolved organs and what makes us human is that we've become aware of this and our awareness alone gives us power to change our own biology through will power and time. We put all our skill points into adaptability, so decide what you wanna be and be that. Just don't give up.
Instead of talking to other people about what you feel, you might consider journaling. It helps a lot to process things.
When I discovered that pleasing people is simply an instint that remains from evolution and not something necesary to do in life in order to be happy, that truly made me feel way more free
For those of you that have trouble imagining how to stop caring. Running helped me a lot. It makes you gain perspective on the world, your problems and how some things just don’t matter. I usually go in the evening when there’s not too many ppl and i can be alone with my thoughts and reflect on life.
wear a neon reflective vest so u dont get hit by a car! and spiked shin guards to ward off loose biting dogs.. OOPS there i go again, caring too much! ha ha !
@@Lauren-vd4qe thank you for the advice💐
@@reikadoodles well we dont want anything terrible to happen to you on your thoughtful jogs eh
i have not been running in a while cuz i only have pink shoes & i never have a good outfit to match & i don’t want people looking at me like what the heck her outfit don’t match her shoes lol but i shouldn’t even care i should jus go run cuz i love it and it feels good
@@littlep420 go to a thrift store to get cheap matching clothes; or to a lower priced store like target, etc plenty of matching clothes there! when you LOOK good you FEEL good eh! less than 1% of my clothes are expensive!
Great video homie! When I was younger I used to never care what people thought but in the last couple of years and a lot more social media time, I noticed I let those little fears slip back into my mind and control me. This video was super helpful and truly liberating once I heard the part that we all end up in the same place! Life is finite so, live to the fullest and follow your highest excitement! A quote that popped up in my head after watching this was "You only die once, you live every day" which goes against the common saying "you only live once" - Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing man, and I freaking love that quote I just found out about it recently
Cole Hastings same here! Changed the way I think about things and then this video came out! It’s interesting how the universe sends you more of what you think about!
It's funny, I've been adopting this mindset on my own ever since the beginning of my junior year, this just solidified it more, so thank you, I really appreciate it.
yeah because you are growing up, youll know what matters and not
"junior year" isn't that about 4 minutes after birth ??
The problem for me started when I developed shyness which then turned into social anxiety because I started caring about what others thought of me whenever I said something awkward or inappropriate in a conversation, it got worse and worse until now I started caring too much about people’s opinions that I couldn’t even think of what I wanted to say, like my mind just goes blank whenever I’m in those situations now. When I’m finally able to come up with a response in a conversation while it’s somewhat relatable, it ends up coming out awkward and robot like because I kept overthinking it, and then people started making fun of me for that, I really wish I could fix this because It’s been ruining my mental health and social life since childhood.
I can definitely agree that overthinking so much has impacted my life a lot and make it harder for me to socialize and do the things I love to do. I still do overthink but way less compared to the past 6 years and as a result, i feel like im more comfortable doing anything without giving two shts about what ppl think about me or what i think about myself, i just do them
💫💖
I wish I had your mindset man. I'm really struggling with depression, social anxiety and I care too much what others think of me. It paralyses me at times. I'm trying most days. This is definitely inspiring ! 🙌 I am working on myself atm, and it's definitely not easy, but I have to try and remind myself why I'm doing this in the first place.

man keep going, I love u and ur good!! Rmb ur doing this for u and ur the only person that is going to there for u no matter what
The main problem is social media
There's no reason to have social anxiety. Just remember, even if you make a fool of yourself, no one cares and no one will remember, they're too consumed with themselves. And no interaction is awkward unless YOU decide that it is.
Even if you approach a girl, fumble your words and look like an idiot, just call it out. Be like "wow, I guess I'm really nervous, you must be super cute because this only happens when I'm around super cute girls. I'm nervous, what's your name?"
Just roll with whatever happens and you'll be coolio.
I used to be very much guilty of people pleasing. I have DEF improved. Thx for this video!
Cole, this is very insightful and helpful. I am struggling to free myself. Thank you. I truly hope you are the same in person. We need people like you to keep it real. I wish you all the best in life.
i struggle badly with mental illness so this probably won't change anything but thank you for opening me up to this mindset so i can work on it in the future

Going through a lot right now. This was helpful. Thank you
I hope you doing good I’ve been there to
You'll get through it brother just keep working on yourself
Never give up
It’s so hard to stop caring about what others think & being more confident in what I do/say. I always hold back when it comes to wanting to speak my mind or say what I really feel. Plus I don’t look good at all, so I’m constantly feeling like people r lookin at me callin me ugly even tho I kno they aren’t.
your looks have nothing to do with your value. You thoughts & opinions matter no matter what. Also, be aware that society has programmed us to think what is beautiful. Beauty is whatever you find it in. Differences are what make us who we are. If we have a big nose, remember that you got that nose from your ancestors.Keep in mind that beauty standards change ALL the time. What is considered ugly right now, may be considered beautiful in a few years. Who cares though? Who cares what those people think about you? Does it really matter when you think about it? What is them thinking you're ugly really going to do? NOthing. You are as beautiful as you think you are. There are people who will see you for who you are, and will find you beautiful just the way you are. You ever seen someone with confidence that wouldn't typically be considered beautiful, but they are still admired, and seen as good looking? It's all in how you carry yourself. How you think about yourself. You walk around, knowing that all of your features are unique to you. Passed down from generation to generation of 2 families, each time. That's so many people and combinations that came together to form you. You are the only you, and that makes you special.
Sick video dude! Loved it! Honestly quality content
Thanks!
@@ColeHastings No doubt Cole. I appreciate the video. Really like your vibe and I really think it can help at least some people to get to a better state of mind cause lord knows, we need it these days.
I have a lot of anxiety and care a lot about past relationships and people to the point I will get myself to feel like shit if they are satisfied... I think it's time to change that
I was once like this, and i told myself i wouldnt care about what other people think, but i think that the lonelyness of usually being outcasted overpowered my then mindset, now i overthink way to much, have anxiety, and my confidence and self esteem drastically lowered, but this video helped me open my eyes once again, and has given me a jumpstart to being someone i can be proud of and smile at
Same here didn’t happen till quarantine and it’s like I lost myself slowly been getting my self back
Same the loneliness of not caring is killing me it’s literally my only problem that is preventing me from not caring
Can kinda relate. :/
So glad I grew up not caring what people think of me, I love my own company and I'm pretty chill, feel bad for people who are constantly freaking out 💜
This was the most authentic video ever about how to stop caring about people !
This guy is a gem ❤
