Poll of the Day > Do you think people "care too much?"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you think that people "care too much" as in, "investing too much time, energy, or effort towards something in a way that is disproportional in regards to how serious that something is?" Furthermore, do you think you might be or are one of those people? By "people," that is to mean the vast majority, not "everyone" nor any specific group.

No idea what youre talking about dude

I don't think people care at all.

I could care less

I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.

Pretty much the mantra I live by.

And yet I constantly get modded on PotD for posting tasteful fart porn videos.

Yep. Most the time the drama people have comes from something so meaningless that it amounts to nothing more than wasted energy. Some would say I don't care about anything because I don't get involved in drama and just get to simple conclusion very quickly. I only care about things worth caring about and drama isn't one of those things.

Is there no justice in this world?

How do you know what is or is not worth caring about for you? Is it just the gut feeling you get about it? I can tell myself, "this isn't worth my time" but I still get wrapped up in it often.

When quibbles over Star Wars trigger the kind of frenzied mouth-frothing and near-incoherent fury you'd expect from some religious fundie nut who's just has his faith profaned by blasphemers, you know that someone's letting this stuff eat them up way too much.

When I see the cause of said drama and it's simple to resolve I just turn off after that fact. I get bored and would rather just move on. Life is to short to be having drama over small things. I have this mentality mostly because I watched my older sister die of cancer when she was 26. I've outlived her by now but this makes me know what's more important to me. Family is the most important thing in my life for me personally. Not all family but the ones I'm closest to.

I see, thank you for the insight and for sharing. I'm sorry to hear that and I'm glad you were able to process it in a positive manner for yourself. Maybe that's the difference, being able to take a certain perspective over another. My apologies in advance if anything I said came off cold or rude, it's not a topic I'm well practiced in discussing.

It's perfectly fine. I'm very open with discussing these things here. I tend to always try and take positive things from my past and I'd consider not caring about the small stuff as just that. It makes my life much more drama free.

We need more carefree dudes and dudettes
