I find as I get older I care less and less about what others think and do, is this normal?

Question

It's like every day older I get, I get more apethetic. People ask me, should I do this, or should I do that? I just don't care. What do you think about abortion, and gay marriage, and stem cells, and........? And I am like "Oh, 'scuse me. Were you talking to me? Oh, well I just don't give a flying flip". Is this a normal change for people to go through?

Answer 1

I think it's pretty normal. You are obviously secure in yourself and don't need the judgement of others. You are tolerant with a kind of a "let it be" attitude. Like any of us have opinions that matter anyway. You're fine.

Answer 2

Yep it's normal. why care? No matter how passionate you are in your beliefs, your opinion doesn't matter over the masses. LOL, I remember in junior high and high school, I was all about conservation, anti-gay, and all of that, but since I have graduated from college (and broaden my horizons) I've realized no matter what I may think, someone will always agree, and someone will always oppose. Why fuss over it? Live and let live is my new motto as long as it doesn't cause any harm to another person.

Answer 3

Yes to a point I think it is normal . I get tired of people saying
and doing such stupid and hurtful things to one
another because of differences in opinions.
Therefore I just end up backing
off not caring to be a part of it at all .

Answer 4

I think that you need some good sleep 'cause to be that apathetic is not normal.. Passion about something --anything is what life is about

Answer 5

normal yes.
one should have more self respect,
i don't really give a flip what a person thinks of me-but i expect respect. i give it i expect to receive it.
