In our fast-paced modern culture, where oversharing is the norm on social media, it’s incredibly easy to get burdened by negativity over things that truly don’t matter. We all desire to care less, but reaching that state can be quite a challenge. That’s why, in this blog post, we will be discussing 12 practical tips that you can implement to reach the ultimate “I don’t give a damn” level of life.

With that in mind, here are some suggestions from Redditors who have managed to achieve this care-free attitude in recent times:

Arms Length Rule

One user came up with something called the “arms-length rule” when it comes to distancing yourself from unimportant things. Explaining it, they said:

“I use the ‘arm’s length’ rule… if I wave my arms and can’t affect it I don’t worry about it. So just my family and friends… my work. My colleagues. My income.”

Browse Politics

One person suggested that browsing “the political side of Twitter for about 20 minutes” would get you there with someone else replying: “I was just there, now I’m here.”

Bite the Bullet

One reader suggested that you can only truly discover the benefits of not caring when you bite the bullet and do it. They said: 

“It’s usually after the first time of deciding to do nothing. You realize that the consequences of inaction (or, not doing what you’re supposed to do), is also pretty much nothing, in the grand scheme of things.”

Enter Your 40s

One user simply said “Enter your 40s” suggesting that the art of letting go comes with age. Others agreed with one user saying:

“Yep, one of the advantages of getting older: you seriously stop caring, especially if it is about things that are opinion based.”

Dance with Danger

One person suggested: “When you see how fleeting life is and how mundane everything you’re working towards is, it can flip that switch in your brain.”

Look at the World

Could a deep look at the world around you get you to this place? One user certainly thinks so. They said: Look at the world and realise no matter how hard you try, it’s all futile.

Do What Makes you Happy

One commenter said the most important thing was self-happiness. They said: “Do whatever makes you happy, love for yourself and just roll with the blows life deals you.”

Value Yourself

Following on with that theme, another user said: 

“There really is a subtle art to doing it without being destructive to your life and actually benefiting from it… In short: value and respect yourself first.”

Don’t Waste Mental Energy

One reader who claims to have reached this state of mind offered their answer. They said: 

“I don’t waste mental and emotional energy on worthless things or things I can do nothing about. Seems like a foreign concept to some people.”

Get a Job in Retail

One user put “eight years in retail.” Another agreed, saying: “Nothing breeds utter contempt for humans faster than any amount of time in a retail job.”

Use the Definition of Insanity as Inspiration

Another person recommended that those looking to reach this state of mind take a look at the dictionary definiton of insanity. They said: 

“When you apply the definition of insanity to a situation you have with a person – you try over and over and over again and they don’t change, nothing changes – you finally learn to not care.”

Learn to Only Care About What’s Important

Perhaps it is impossible to stop caring, says one user. Instead, “get better at picking out what deserves your attention.”
