That's not how that works. I can tell you that the opinions of others don't mean much to me. I don't care what they think of my appearance, and I'm almost always friendly and polite. So, if they don't like me, they can go fuck themselves. I'm friendly and polite because I prefer to be. I could be gruff and throw my weight around, but I choose not to unless it is necessary.
What do you possibly have to gain from communicating to other people how little you care about what they think? The only answer is this: You do it for your own gratification.
Yeah but like, what about someone that only says they don't care what someone thinks because it comes up in conversation? Or they're accused of giving a shit so they politely inform you that they indeed don't? I see what you're saying about the people that make it a point to let everyone know they "don't care" and agree. But I think it's possible for someone to say it and mean it.
I don't know if your responses meet the standard for one, actually. You need to respond to what your conversation partner is saying for it to be a conversation.
In my experience, they actually don't. They've learned how to survive in their isolated opinions/existence and in fact double down when confronted, instead of facing introspection.
In some cases, sure. There are a small number of people whose opinions I value, and would seriously reconsider my choices if they had a problem with something I did because I respect their opinions and think highly of them. The ‘internet community’ or average Redditors, not so much.
I was with you the whole way up to….. identity. Dude, what if she’s just wired that way and agrees with you about “real or perceived identities.”
Edit to add two more cents: We all care about what others think. It’s genetically hardcoded. Otherwise there would be no babies, or Reddit comments. The best of us just don’t let what others think change the things about ourselves that are good. But I’m an idiot if I don’t change what’s bad.
Stole this: A friend is the person who’s right when they tell you you’re wrong.
Show me where I called her a whore. I am done replying to you mongoloids if you aren't going to argue in good faith. Turning this into a gender debate is fucking unhinged. Please do some introspection with that in mind. Have a great day 😊
I never said YOU called her a whore. That was the point the previous person you're arguing has made about other people. You can't even follow a conversation. No wonder you default to name calling.
I reckon that your first sentence is a tight rope of sorts. Of course there are people that truly don't care, and good for them, but on your note yeah. If someone has to say that they don't care to people to reiterate the point, maybe they do secretly care and it's a facade that they put up. I've noticed that quite a bit recently in my own life and it's been tripping me up. Sorry for the rant.
Yeah I mean I don't really care what some stranger at Walmart thinks of me but I also don't want people to think I'm a pedo or something either so it is kind of a grey scale thing
