| I'm exactly the same. I just can't get myself worked up over most stuff, annoyingly though people around me end up getting annoyed at me becasue I'm not getting upset or annoyed. This can be very frustrating. The way I see it is if something is happening and it's outside my control, why let it bother me. 1 of 2 things can happen. 1) I get upset and angry and my life, temporarily, gets worse.
2) I don't get upset or angry and my life doesn't change. In both those cases I can't affect the root cause incident so the only thing that changes is my own happiness. Why on earth would I then voluntarily reduce my own happiness / state of mind. If someone flips me off, cuts me up in traffic, sends me an abusive message online etc Why should I care? So when I have people around me getting annoyed because I'm not getting upset or annoyed by it, I feel like they just want to make sure I'm getting miserable with them. Which is a shitty thing to do to someone. |
