I was reading this book called 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck' by Mark Manson and I couldn't help but relate it to my personal growth. Admittedly, I still think I give way too many fucks about everything and this, in turn, has done nothing to help me in both my mental and personal growth. I give fucks about the most insignificant things that in the end, I realize it's a waste of time and energy. So when I came across this excerpt in the book, I was enlightened. Here's the excerpt below: In my life, I have given a fuck about many people and many things. I have also started not giving a fuck about many people and many things. And those fucks I have not given have made all the difference. You’re born with a ton of fucks to give, so you spend them like a kid with a credit card. You’re young, you have tons of energy. Everything is new and exciting. And everything seems to matter so much. You give fucks about your friends, about your grades, about your fashion sense, about strangers’ opinions. You give way too many fucks about way too many things. You have so many. Therefore, you give tons of fucks. Then, as you get older, you’re down to maybe 10 fucks per month, and those fucks are pretty damn precious, so you learn to budget them. You allocate fucks to family, hobbies and career, but there aren’t enough fucks to give to the newest fads. Oh, someone at work has something they need my help with that’s outside my job title? I’ll do your best to allocate some fucks, but this month is pretty tight. I bet you would’ve liked to save your fucks from when you were younger but you can’t. It’s not your fault – fucks expire too quickly. Then, at some point, you hit fuck insolvency. You're fuck faucet runs completely dry and you’re out of fucks to give. You’re getting like 1 fuck a year, and you have to make it last. So you go without, and even previously fugck-worthy things, you just can’t give a fuck. Some people run out really quickly, Some people have a fuck trust fund that pays out a decent amount even into old age. Spoiler: How to allocate your fucks It’s just basic Fuckonomics. Essentially, we become more selective about the fucks we’re willing to give. This is something called ‘maturity.’ It’s nice, you should try it sometime. Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a fuck about what’s truly fuckworthy. Then, as we grow older and enter middle age, something else begins to change. Our energy levels drop. Our identities solidify. We know who we are and we no longer have a desire to change what now seems inevitable in our lives. And in a strange way, this is liberating. We no longer need to give a fuck about everything. Life is just what it is. We now reserve our ever-dwindling fucks only for the most truly fuckworthy parts of our lives: our families, our best friends, our sex-life. And to our astonishment, this is enough. This simplification actually makes us really fucking happy. No, there is no fuck recycler. So save your fucks! --End of excerpt Spoiler: More quotes from the book "Just because the world seems totally fucked doesn't mean you have to be." "Giving too many fucks is bad for you." "We all have a limited number of fucks to give, pay attention to where and who you give them to." 1. Do you tend to give out a lot of fucks? If yes, where? If no, good for you! 2. As a person trying to learn how to not give a fuck, what are some advice you can give to help the process?
1. Yes I give too many fucks. On everything. I have that book and it's always on my bed waiting to be read. 2. Just don't give a fuck?
Pick up that goddamn book and read it! XD This is actually a really good song! Yes. Eat it. It's yummy. Take a shot for every time you see the word fuck being mentioned. Put them in the fuck bank. Maybe with interest, they'll grow
I actually have too many fucks to give, but not in the way this thread is implying. It's more like: "No one else is giving a fuck about this, and i'm the only one giving a fuck about it?! Well, fuck this!!!" So, there you go. Plenty of fucks to go all around.
Why you should? It's enjoyable. Fun and memes aside, ignorance is a beautiful thing to have. Treasure it.
I don't really give a fuck to many things, but the ones I do are always the wrong ones, with few exceptions. I stopped worying about a lot of things near the end of high school and they become fewer each year on University, but I ended up not giving fucks enough for classes too, so I'm two years behind the grade and with lots of credits I wish would magically appear. I've got no savings, no SO, no dream I'm actually pursuing and no expectation of a moderately easy future or job growth. My only redeeming "quality" is that I'm really lucky and things somewhat work out in the end. So I strongly recommend anyone to give a lot of fucks to thinking about what is your dream, what is your personal objective in life,what is you like and what you don't like, so you, too, don't end as a useless idiotic asshole.
Never really give a fuck for anything unrelated to my wellbeing and happiness,if it could improve or threaten them then I will give a fuck
yeah i at first like that too, too many fvck to give then i realize why i should give a fvck when they even didn't. And when you don't give any fvck yeah your life will be more peaceful, and then you realize how stupid you are when you give to many fvck,
