How to Not Give a Crap
Someone noticed the other day how I don't give a crap what people think of me--to some extent lol. It was then it hit me that I really, for the most part, don't care what people think of me. I mean of course I do a little bit, but I consider myself a very confident, outgoing, bubbly person. I wanted to share with all of you my care free ways of life, the I don't give a crap what people think of me. So here are my top 5 ways to say screw you to the world of people who judge others.
1) YOU ARE UNIQUE!!! Embrace it because you only have one life to live and let me tell you, it is not fun pretending to be someone you're not. If you want to be crazy and weird, so be it! The trick to not giving a crap lies in confidence and the only way to truly learn to be confident is to embrace your uniqueness. I personally think unique and different people are cool because you see way too many average people around. I know it may seem hard to try and embrace your uniqueness, but try and take baby steps. Start with being open about the kind of music you secretly like or a hobby you're interested in.
2) BE FERRIS BUELLER AND LIVE IN THE MOMENT!! If you feel like doing something a little out of your comfort zone, take that opportunity and go with it. If life is leading you in a certain direction, take that chance/risk and do something new. Try new food or new clothing. The more small risks you take, the more courageous of a person you become. That courage, in my mind, leads to more confidence and allows you to really embrace yourself and not care what other people think. Now, just because I said take risks, please don't do something really crazy like go get a tattoo. I mean, I'm saying stuff like ask out the guy you like for coffee, try a new hairdo, or go ziplining.
3) DO WHAT YOU LOVE...I promise you that you will not regret it! Doing what you love not only allows you to be happy, but it also gives you a sense of confidence. If you love and know you are good at something, you will feel better about yourself and thus feel more confident. Go play basketball, film stuff/take photos or go cook something delicious!
4) HAVE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO LIKE YOU FOR YOU! Having a good social group is a must for life. The people you hang around with the most should be people who encourage you to be yourself and be different. Seek out friends who have that attitude or who have those same different interests. It is so important to be comfortable around your friends before you can be truly comfortable with being yourself in front of the whole world.
5) OWN IT!!! Seriously when it comes down to it, we really only get to live once. So own it! Own what you got and what you want. Just trust your gut and your instincts. We all have things that makes us our own person and what makes people love us. In the end, people really do appreciate those differences. No one just wants a plain, boring, average person. So take risks, live life to the fullest and SMILE. If you make a mistake, don't look back and dwell on it. I know what to many people, including myself, who do this. Just look at it as a learning experience and make sure to not repeat the mistakes. This is all a part of growing up. So just have fun while you are young. Work hard and play hard because we only get one life to live. So work it and OWN IT because you are all awesome people! REMEMBER THAT!
Hope all of these tips helps everyone out there who struggles to not care what others think. So here's to not giving a crap!
Love,
