I Wish I Read These Carefree Quotes When I Cared Too Much

In time, where everyone has to appear

saintly, nice, and decent, there is power

and freedom in not just caring about people’s opinions

and ideas about you.

I was a very nice person who was too friendly and couldn’t say no to anyone.

I deeply had a toxic trait of wanting to be loved by everyone,

which made my life miserable.

The people around you would love this trait in you because they benefit from it.

I, too, cared too much about how people see and think about me.

In short, my life was made up of people’s ideas and thoughts.

Until I met my cousin, who was the opposite of me,

and he changed my perspective entirely.

The reality discovered is that everyone will always have an opinion about you,

and you will lose yourself trying to please them.

It is like you are betraying yourself just for others,

which is a very unhealthy habit.

The fearless quotes in this article are not meant to turn you

into a savage person who doesn’t care about others at all;

that would be psychopathy or narcissism.

It is meant to charge you with a carefree attitude

that would make your life easier and better.

Care less about what people think

and see how your life starts getting better. 

Savage attitude

“Stop trying to please people who already don’t like you and embrace the joy of being the most annoying person they’ve ever met.”

You will always make enemies in life as long as you are alive.

Don’t even try to change their views about you because they will never change at all.

I have a cousin who hates me so much, but do I care?

No, he secretly doesn’t like what I do,

and I openly don’t care about that at all.

The day I mastered this attitude is the day I knew I reached a new height of freedom.

Tell your haters to prepare, because you are just getting started.

They hate seeing you happy and progressing.

“I don’t care about those who talk behind my back. They’re behind me for a reason.”

I reflect on this quote every time someone from my past tries to annoy me.

My only answer is no answer because they don’t matter at all.

You can be sure about your progress in life

when people from your past start talking badly about you.

They want to get your attention, and I always reject that.

“Stop thinking we’re enemies. I don’t care about you.”

There is joy in the experience of not even remembering

people who think you are their enemy.

As long as your main focus is on you, you will always meet this type of person.

I had some differences with some people,

and I decided to go my separate way because staying with

them only brought problems.

After some months, I discovered that their main focus was on me.

They antagonized me, tried to duplicate my blog, and failed miserably.

All this time, I didn’t even care about them.

I laughed so hard and couldn’t even control myself.

That’s the joy of not caring.

“Smile at those who hate you.”

During some events in Rwanda,

I finally understood that there are people who will never like you,

and you should never try to convince them.

But since they hate you and would try to do anything

in their power to sabotage you, smile at them

because it makes them feel inferior, and they hate it so much.

Relationships

“A year ago, I would’ve died for some people. A year later, half of them are dead to me.”

It is mindblowing how time changes and reveals people for who they are.

There are people whom I swore were loyal,

and I could have done many things to them,

but they ended up stabbing me in the back.

Now, I don’t even know where they are or what they are doing.

I look back and laugh at all my promises.

“Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions. Do your thing, and don’t care if they like it.”

A friend once asked me how I manage not to care that much

about what people think about me.

My reply was simple: my focus is on my work, not on what they think about me.

I believe that everyone is free to think what they want,

but when I achieve my goals, they will see my name out of respect.

I care less if they like me or hate me.

“Stop serving good vibes to those who deserve goodbyes.”

Not every bond should be nurtured.

When the time comes, say goodbye and cut ties.

“Sometimes you care more, and people don’t care in return. Time to learn your lesson.”

One of the most important lessons I learned earlier in life is that

you will never make someone who doesn’t love you, love you,

by caring more.

Accept that and move on, no matter how much it hurts.

Success attitude

“When someone says that you can’t do it, do it twice and take pictures!”

Let no one convince you that you can’t do it.

They are not gods and are just ordinary humans filled with insecurities

and fear that you will do it. If you truly believe in your heart

that you are destined for something, pursue it without regard

for what others think.

My elder brother shamed me when I created a page years ago

and started posting there.

I didn’t care and continued my journey regardless.

The page has 1.7 million followers, and he feels ashamed.

Moral of the story: it is only you who defines your potential.

“I don’t care who is doing better than me. I’m doing better than I was last year. It’s me vs me!”

My teacher once told me that if you want to go far in life,

shift your competition from others to yourself.

This perspective shifted my entire life.

Everyone has a unique journey and purpose.

My only competition is with how I was doing last year.

“I don’t care if it’s lonely at the top. It was lonely at the bottom, too.”

The harsh truth is that people treat those below them poorly.

It is better to be lonely in a Lamborghini than to be lonely with debt.

The issue of loneliness can be addressed through therapy

and the guidance of mentors.

“They don’t like you, but they still find the time to watch everything you do.”

My coach once told me that you should rejoice in having a hater

because people only hate those who are doing good.

Haters are your biggest fans in disguise;

they secretly envy you and want what you have.

Give them a show, something to talk about and think about all night.

You are their celebrity.

“Confidence is not ‘they will like me.’ Confidence is ‘I don’t care if they don’t.'”

The most confident, yet not arrogant,

people I know are those who are not afraid to speak their mind

and stand up for what they believe in.

It is not about being liked or disliked;

it is about sending a message in a respectable manner.

I respect you, but this is what I stand for,

and your reaction is not my problem.

Conformity

“It’s better to be a lonely lion than a popular sheep.”

If you were born to stand out, don’t try to fit in.

The first writer I met personally was after 3 years.

All this time, I kept my thoughts to myself

because people around me wouldn’t understand.

I am not a lonely lion here, but I stayed true to my path.

Final thought

To have peace, you must develop a degree of carefree and fearless attitude.

It doesn’t mean you stop caring, but you care only about certain things.
