There are people who still fornicate unprotected. There are guys who ride motorcycles at 180mph. There are people get drunk and drive all the time. These people have the "It wont happen to me" attitude. They know bad stuff happens they just don't think it can happen to them. They seem so happy and care free. How does one become like this if only for a short while?

You will need to obtain a brain bypass mechanism of some kind - better still remain smart and look after yourself!

This type of attitude/outlook is rather foolish because eventually it will happen and then they will expect others to pick up the pieces or take the burden of responsibility because their attitude also provides them with the attitude that "It's not my fault"
There is such a thing as being "carefree" and doing adventurous things...however, the truly "free spirited" person always takes into account the risks involved. Those risks are weighed against the feasibility of the action they will attempt to do...and usually they'll determine a relatively safe way in which to get the carefree affect that they seek and expect.
Being carefree doesn't have to be tagged on to the won't happen attitude...simply because most people who live "dangerously" die tragically while those who live adventurously die happy.

usually this attitude accompanies people in the 16-25 year old range. And that is for a reason. We are still immature and things that we say won't happen to us, haven't happened...yet.
But continuing that kind of behavior will be sure get us what we don't want sooner or later.

I believe one calls it taking a chance, letting go and seeing what happens. If crap hits then it hits if it don't then it don't. I believe they think they will deal with it when it does happen. To bad most are not prepared when the **** hits the fan.

Get really drunk and pick a fight with a little guy. After you beat him, just act like you're unstoppable!

I'm afraid you are one of the poor souls who cannot drink from the cupof ignorance and it's bliss- do not ruin your body with drugs and things. Enjoy your sense.

Well according to my experience...if I said it won't happen to me....it did happen to me...so...if you want to feel free just do whatever you feel you want to do...but don't forget every action has its own reaction....
But you can do less dangerous things and make ad reline high...try bungee jumping...you l feel greaat ...
take care.

How many times have you heard someone say "I thought this would never happen to me" or "I thought I was invincible" etc. ? Be glad that you're safe & not sorry.

And those people are stupid. If you get that mentality you will die much sooner than you should.
So, don't try to get it. MUCH too harmful.
