is it just me?

Hey, it's Christmas, I'll help necropost too. I used to suffer crippling anxiety. For me, the cure was to become an *******. Life kicked me around enough and I remember...I was 23...remember the precise day, time of day, and where I was that morning... I was always a people-pleaser...had a total nervous breakdown...something snapped inside my head. Literally, think I heard it. Sat there a bit...unsure if that was good or bad...thought maybe stroke? LOL

No. What it was the day that my switch was flipped and I became a fully autonomous being. From that day forward, I didn't (still don't) give one single **** what anyone thinks of me. I can't. I won't. This doesn't mean I don't care for people but I cannot care for their opinions of me. This applies to all but those very closest to me.

The cure for anxiety? Not giving a ****.

Yep, I agree with you, it can be one of the most challenging things we ever had to do, but I too saw my mindset improve dramatically once i finally stopped giving a **** and being a people-pleaser.

Agreed. I don't give a **** either anymore.

That actually makes sense. Sometimes it might be a bit hard though..
