People Explain What Caused Them To Finally Stop Giving A F**k
Reddit user 33-9 asked: 'What age did you stop giving a f**k and what situation triggered it?'
Let's be honest: We're all human here, and we all have our limits for how much we can take.
At some point, something will happen where we'll say, "That's it! I'm out!" But for some people, there will be something that will happen that will lead them to feel that way about... everything.
Curious how others felt, Redditor 33-9 asked:
"What age did you stop giving a f**k, and what situation triggered it?"
An Eye-Opening Moment
"Age 56."
"I had a heart attack with greater than 95 percent blockage. I was a dead man walking."
"Every day is a gift now. I refuse to get stressed."
- graibeard
Putting Themselves First
"Age 37."
"I finally pulled my head out of my @ss and realized that I need to put me first, and not be concerned about what others think of the things I say or do."
"All relationships with others are voluntary and conditional, so don't sacrifice yourself to preserve any of them."
"For context, I am currently 37."
- Macbookaroniandchez
Life-Risking Priorities
"Age 16."
"I overdosed at a kickback, and nobody called for help because they were scared of getting in trouble, making it clear that, ultimately, nobody gives a f**k about you or anything you do! They only care about themselves!"
- angelicaaf
Never the Same Again
"Age 24."
"My dad died, and I stopped caring about anyone’s opinion of me and my life after he passed."
- littlegremlinsparky
No Growth Mindset

- avidpretender
No Work-Life Balance
"Age 24…"
"My boss at the time asked me if I was coming into work the day after I had an emergency major abdominal surgery."
"I quit the day I was released by doctors to come back."
- TheWhiteSheep3
A Very Sci-Fi Take
"I had the strange epiphany at 24 or 25 years old that everyone I encounter on a daily basis is just a meat suit that’s gonna die someday. Including mine. I drastically stopped giving a f**k about what people thought about me and my life after that."
- Ahungryhippopotamus
On the Bonus Level
"Age 58."
"I got the virus during the pandemic. I was in the hospital for 85 days. The doctors told my brother to prepare for my death."
"I'm living my bonus life. I did a lot of traveling the year after when I regained most of my health. I still get winded easily. I don't worry what strangers think when I dress like a slob. I don't let comments from strangers online bother me anymore."
"I'm direct with friends when they disrespect me rather than fret about it. I'm trying to be more kind and patient with others."
"A positive attitude helped me overcome that virus."
- Adventurous-Sell9358
Cannot Keep Up the Charade
"It's hard to pin down because it happened so gradually. I can say that I was in my 40s when I started losing my ability to pretend to give a f**k, though."
- Salarian_American
A Coping Mechanism
"Like, I don't know, maybe 10 or 11 years old."
"As soon as I moved on from primary school, my mom doubled down on controlling everything about me and forced me to do all this work and sign on for s**t I didn't want to participate in, and I used apathy as a coping mechanism and haven't looked back since."
"Since she punished me for everything I did, I might as well become immune to the punishment and everything else along with it."
- 4rtiphi5hal
Prioritizing the Baby's Happiness
"When I had my baby."
"I’d never wear a one-piece because I thought I wouldn’t look nice, but then I took her swimming and wore it, and I didn’t give a s**t because the swimming made her happy."

"It was our day, and I'm keeping this mentality up forever. It's her and me. That's it."
- CaseVirtual
No F**ks From Birth
"I don't know if I ever gave a f**k. I’m a very no f**ks person."
"I think my mom tells this story when I was five, I said something like, 'Why does that matter? We all gonna die anyway.' She was kind of concerned that her five-year-old looked at life that way."
"However, life is too short to give any f**ks."
- MadamFutureWhatEver
Just Not Worth It
"Various points between ages 17 and 19."
"People around me would criticize me for the dumbest things and/or things they also did, and I realized that for all the things they do to make my life harder, I only bent further backward to avoid problems."
"I could use some restored faith in humanity. But for now, while I look for that, if someone wants to mess with me, they have proven themselves unworthy of my energy. Screw them and their screwed-up, self-centered worldviews."
"Maybe someday I’ll find some genuinely good people who don’t give me panic attacks or cross boundaries on purpose. They have to be out there. I hope I can find them."
- AutisticAcademic
We've all had those moments of feeling like, "I have no f**ks left to give," but in some cases, it can feel like that applies to literally everything.
We can totally understand how these Redditors saw these as turning moments, and for many of them, it was overwhelmingly for the better.
Have you ever had a similar epiphany? Let us know in the comments below.
People Reveal The Most Out Of Touch Thing A Rich Person Has Ever Said To Them
Reddit user Always_Wandering_ asked: 'What’s the most out of touch thing a rich person has said to you?'
Though our definitions of "making it" vary, we can all agree that we would at least like to have enough disposable income to live comfortably and debt-free, while some dream of living more luxuriously.
For those who have already "made it" and live among the elite, it's incredible how clueless they can be about how the average person lives day-to-day.
Redditor Always_Wandering_ asked:
"What's the most out-of-touch thing a rich person has said to you?"
But First, Wine
"Long ago when I was a server in a Country Club."
"I was very new to properly opening wine bottles, as I was using my key to take off the foil and gashed the webbing on my hand badly."
"There was a husband and wife at the table. I put down the bottle and was about to leave when he said, 'Who told you to stop pouring?!'"
"I picked it up, poured the wine while dribbling blood all over the white tablecloth, and then went outside, had a smoke, and thought about my life."
- SleepyCountingSheep
Seriously, SO Funny
"He said, 'Isn't it funny we are the same age, but my dad bought me a condo and you have to work two jobs?'"
- BopbopHereWeGo
Living On a Whim
"I worked for a small company that was owned by two wealthy individuals. They were very kind and generous but completely out of touch."
"One day I was at my desk and my then-boss came to me and said he was leaving early for the day to go waterskiing because the weather was nice. It was early summer and the weather was no nicer than it had been the rest of the week."
"I inquired where they were going, thinking it was somewhere near where we were, and he said he was going to his friend’s house in Florida. He’d just booked his private flight, around a three or three-and-a-half hour flight, lol (laughing out loud)."
"Then there was the time he left early to fly to his friend’s house to go quail hunting…"
"The other owner, also wealthy, would jet around the world on a whim to go surfing. Like everywhere. During a conversation about what we were doing for the holidays one year, he said he rented a big house in Canada and hired a helicopter so he, his family, and friends could go heli-skiing. It was totally normal thing to him."
"On the other side, they would give great gifts like good wine, dinners, sometimes small trips, and stuff like that. They were very nice people and I sometimes miss working for them and seeing them, but they both basically semi-retired during the pandemic."
- GratefulGuitar2022
What Daydreams Are Made Of
"I was between jobs and a bunch of my friends told me that I should take the time to go travel the world."
"Like, just because someone doesn't have a job doesn't mean they can just up and travel the world (in fact, the opposite is more likely) but also, you motherf**kers thought the reason I wasn't traveling the world because I hadn't thought of it?"
- Annual-Intern5669
...Wow, Thanks
"He just offhand was like, 'Oh yeah, you can keep all of this since I'm moving out. I'll buy new stuff for my next place.'"
"Some dude I knew who was taking classes at a prestigious university in a very nice studio apartment, whose father had just flown in from Indonesia just to help him pack his clothes."
"I got a full mattress set that was about 3000 dollars, multiple leather rugs for carpeting, expensive looking paintings, way too much IKEA stuff, and a Dyson vacuum."
- Wallow_Whispen
Such a Small Price to Pay
"She said, 'I have no hair on my body! You should have your husband take you to get laser hair removal! It only cost me $10,000!'"
"…Maybe in my dreams."
"She was the Mayor's daughter, and I was catering her dog's birthday party."
- Open-Ad-189
The Reality Check Job
"Had some kid in his early 20s start working at the restaurant I was at. He was a total trust fund baby but his parents made him get a job or they would cut him off (Phone, car, apartment, school, credit card, everything)."
"We were talking about plans for the summer, I mentioned I was gonna take a weekend to head north and visit my mom, someone else was going camping, and another guy was taking a long weekend to help his brother move."
"Holy f**k. He goes, You guys have no idea what vacation means, do you? I'm taking my GF to Spain for two weeks and then spending a few days in Italy before we come back.'"
"He got really upset when I asked him where he was gonna work when he came back. Apparently, he didn't understand that taking three weeks vacation not even two months into a job isn't a thing, especially when part of that was during our busiest season of the year."
"Even better when we all looked at him and told him we couldn't even afford a week off, let alone in Spain."
"He didn't last long."
- subtxtcan
Reality Show Worthy
"In college, I made most of my money cleaning and tutoring for rich families. Here are the highlights:"
"'It's so much more convenient to have a sauna in your house.'"
"'We ordered our wallpaper from Europe. It's the only way to go.'"
"'I just bought the empty lot next to ours so we won't have neighbors.'"
"And my personal favorite:"
"Rich person's kid: 'Gosh, I can't find any babysitting jobs. They've been taken by the one percent.'"
"Rich parent: 'Honey, you are the one percent.'"
- bombasticfox
Well, They DO Need Their Own Bedroom...
"They lived in Boston and we were talking about how small condos are there."
"They were lamenting that they had no space and, as a result, they had to buy another condo (this was Beacon Hill) because they ran out of space to store their Persian rugs."
- SsureBreC
Start Saving For That Honeymoon
"My boss's wife grew up wealthy and then married an "heir to the throne" for a multi-million dollar organization."
"She is meandering around our office bullpen one day and brings me into the conversation, 'How about you, where would you take your lady on a Honeymoon?'"
"Me: 'I dunno, go to the coast for a week and just enjoy the sun.'"
"She laughed out loud at me and said, 'Oh my god, no woman will ever marry you unless you're going to take her on a Hawaiian honeymoon.'"
"At the time I made 10 dollars an hour."
- Flailing_Aimlessly
The Math Ain't Mathin'
"I was working at a car dealership and saw the owner pull up in a $250k Porsche GT3. I told him how much I loved the car and dreamt of owning one someday."
"The owner looked at me confused and said, 'What do you mean? We sell them right here you know?'"
"It totally blew my mind that he didn't realize his employees couldn't afford the cars they were selling."
- tbh3900
The Disappearing Paycheck
"I was talking to my manager about a mistake on a check."
"Me: 'This isn’t even enough to cover my daughter's daycare for the month.'"
"Her: 'Well, what did you do with the money you were just paid?'"
"Ma’am. Food, rent, electricity, and car payments. Boom, check gone."
- Lv69
Illusion Broken
"I dated a rich guy who loved my authenticity, and he would pick me up in one of his dad's cool collector cars and take me to record stores. When I went to visit him, I showed up in my grandpa's old Ford f150 truck."
"He asked me why I drove around in that thing."
"I shrugged and said, 'Because I'm poor.'"
"And he said, 'No, you're not...'"
"It was like I ruined his whole hipster aesthetic and he realized I wasn't grunge."
- char-le-magne
Yeah, I'll Just Go Do That
"Me: 'Yeah, I love flying. I have a nice flight simulation setup at home. Wish I could do it for real.'"
"Owner of the company: 'Yeah, the real thing is so much better. You should buy a plane. I love taking mine out for trips.'"
"Me: 'You sign my checks.'"
- Jefo_Bezos
Forgotten Expenses
"My boss is an attorney. A client who was filling out her financial statement for a divorce realized that she had forgotten to include her student loans on the report. Laughing somewhat ruefully, she said, 'I can’t believe I forgot to include that.'"
"And in a bright, sunny, voice, my boss laughed and said, 'I sometimes forget that I own a boat!'"
" The client and I quietly locked eyes with a shared understanding of how out of touch that was."
- headcase-and-a-half
Some of these examples are almost laughable, considering how far from reality these comments are for most people.
It's wild to think about how far away a luxurious life feels to the average person, and how equally far away that life feels to someone who has everything.
When we have our first sip of tea or coffee as a child, we discover that we like it a bit better with a lump of sugar, or two, or three.
As the years pass, we slowly find ourselves putting one less lump of sugar in our hot beverages until we eventually don't use any at all.
While most of our interests, hobbies, and favorite foods will remain with us until our dying days, we might find ourselves losing some, if not all, of our interest in other things the older we get.
Not to mention, finding our hatred of certain things grows even stronger.

"The way the internet is in 2022."
"Ads, subscriptions, pay walls, unhelpful sites with more pictures than words, and streaming service content split up between around 200 platforms, and most of the good content is exclusive to one, and never available elsewhere."

The older we get, the more we find ourselves constantly frustrated by everything.
Up to and including how easily annoyed we get with each passing year.
And It only gets worse...
One Reddit user opted to ask about things people no longer care about.
People took the opportunity to get some things off their chests.
The question:
What do you just not give a fuck about?
It spawned some gloriously heartfelt rants.
We Just Want The Recipe
The forty-seven paragraphs of bullsh*t before the recipe.
I read somewhere that those paragraphs and paragraphs are for the purpose of keywords/SEO. You have your nana's legendary pasta sauce recipe, but it's in a sea of other crushed tomatoes and garlic pasta sauce recipes.
comedy cooking GIF by CBCGiphyYou have to add in that nana was from Sicily, ran through a meadow of basil, oregano and always went with papá on trips with their pigs to hunt for truffles. You remember your mom and nana preparing fresh pasta growing up and even sneaking the vintage Chianti all the while Sinatra played on the record player in the living room.
Anyway, for my Tostino Pizza Rolls you need:
- A paper towel
- A microwave safe plate
- Pizza Rolls
- A microwave
- Toaster Oven**
**Optional for crispy exterior
God, isn't this real.. It's always on my phone in a hurry and I had to go back to the recipe only to have it refresh to the top. I then re-begin my hunt between the ads, the giant story and the 1 million comments of "that's awesome! we love you! i tweaked it this way. do you like me?"
Just... Give... Me... The f*cking recipe. Was it 1 tbsp of butter or 2?
- y-aji
This is such an underrated comment.
Look Sarah, I don't give two sh*ts about how your mother set the table "just so" every night for family dinners when you were little, and that you now recreate that for your two sons who don't eat gluten and are homeschooled.
Can I please just have the damn recipe for your roasted parmesan potatoes so I can move on with my day? Thank you!
Best Seller
A book being a New York Times best seller.
Not that hard when they have a bazillion categories.
I know a "bestselling" author. He is really just a rich kid that grew up with some legit physical handicaps. But his rich parents hired a ghost-writer and she put together some come-from-behind inspirational life story.
Well the rich parents have a charitable foundation that bought enough copies to put the book in the bestseller list in some small category. And now you have a bestselling author who does motivational speaking.

Drama
98% of drama that happens between people who have no part in my life
I have a friend who likes to tell me every bit of drama happening with her vast extended family every time we hang out.
I just nod politely for hours and when she comments that she wants to write a book about her family I don't say, "dude, no one wants to read that."
I just bite my tongue, nod, and plan to avoid our next get together. They're a family friend so I don't want to burn bridges, I jut don't initiate the hang outs anymore.
Aging Has Its Benefits
What people think of me when I make a decision that only affects me.
I used to care a lot. As I got older I became so much more apathetic to it.
Sometimes people begin to notice the apathy and then they just stop displaying their dissatisfaction towards you since it's clear you don't care anyway, which is sweet.
Mostly seemed to kick in sometime in my early 30s. From talking to friends they for the most part stopped caring around the same time.
Helen Mirren Beer GIFGiphyI once saw a post that proposed that basically everything from birth to about age 30 goes in the "finding out who are" bucket and literally everything after that point is "doing that on purpose" which seems to hold up, lol.
I like combining it with my grandma Chickie's advice: growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
And that's why my car is decorated with stickers and plushies, a rainbow wheel cover I crocheted myself, and a clusterf*ck of "good luck charms" from friends and family hanging from the mirror.
Does it make my car look like it belongs to a 16yo girl instead of a 34yo man? Probably.
Do I give even a single measly f*ck about that? Absolutely not!
It's my car, I can make it look like Lisa Frank puked all over it after being dared to chug 47 rainbow margaritas if I want to 😂
They're My Team
My superiors' opinions about how I lead my subordinates.
I've been in the Army for 8 years, and I've found that leading with fairness, friendliness, and for lack of a better term, love, inspires more cooperation and success than enforcing loyalty through rank and command.
My superiors call this "being their friends" and putting myself in a position to be manipulated.
But frankly, I've never experienced that, and I don't give a f*ck if they don't like it.
My dude, your brand of leadership was the only leadership I respected when I was in the Navy. People in leadership positions in the civilian world don't really understand it, either, but morale is more important than that horrible strict discipline you try to force on people.
I'll work harder for a boss I can tell to f*ck off than one who barks orders any day of the week.
My supervisor is like this (Air force) and I'd follow him to hell and back.
Sure I get pissed off about something I think is stupid but in the end, I can differentiate between him being my boss and friend. Hell, we do golf outings with our small shop and bbqs.
I've never been happier with the people I work with and I hope to be as good as he is when I get more peeps under me.
But What If You Don't Want To Go To The Pub?
Alcohol
I'm from Ireland and nearly everyone's social life or sporting events revolves around alcohol consumption and I'm just like no thanks.
I'm from Scotland, and it's daaamn hard to find something to do to socialize that isn't seriously compromised without alcohol.
Dinner is one (but what do you do after?) and I'm enjoying meeting people for lockdown runs. But on a rainy December Saturday, what the hell do you do if you don't wanna go to the pub?
I do drink myself, but I think the lack of cafe culture and (understandable) lack of outdoor activities drives a lot of the social and health problems we have here.
Tribal Warfare
Sports. I've never understood why people get so emotional about their teams. The relationship some people have with it, and their passion for something that has basically no real-world impact, has always been weird to me.
I am a sports writer. I can answer this question, the answer is tribalism. Being part of a family group, while struggling against other outside groups.
Humanity's favorite thing to do is to separate ourselves into little groups and fight each other. People are by nature xenophobic, and sports is a perfect alternative to civil war or a religious crusade.
Jerry Seinfeld had a comedy routine where he observed that rooting for sports teams was just "rooting for laundry", as the players change on a regular basis. And to an extent he is correct, but the organization remains, and we are a part of the one we choose to love, and we are a family and an in-group with like minded fans, and f*ck those guys over there.
Sports is the last place where tribal warfare is not only accepted, but encouraged.
Season 3 Football GIF by The Good PlaceGiphyThat explains why people DON'T like sports. I think it's a rejection of tribalism in favor of actual achievement.
Tell me about something YOU did that you are proud of? I get that - it's something about YOU.
I also understand if you're bragging about (or proud of) something a team or group you are actually a part of accomplished - you participated.
But going on and on about your city's team simply because it's attached to your tribe? It doesn't click for me.
- fsr1967
I was looking for this and I'm disappointed by how far down I had to look.
The point about tribalism makes sense, but it's depressing. Do we not have enough things to be tribal about?
Plus I'm not a fan of how rich white guys essentially buy and sell 18-year-old kids from marginalized backgrounds (economic or otherwise) and then gladiator them until their brains are spaghetti.
Scratchy Scratchy
Minor scratches on your car's paint. I've known several people who will absolutely lose it over a scratch the size an eyelash.
It always makes me always wonder what it must be like caring so much about something so tiny. What other bull must they lose their minds over?
I agree with you here. I'm a hardcore car guy and don't actually care if mine get dinged or scratched. It's a 4 thousand pound object that was created to get driven, do people really expect no wear and tear?
I don't get that, either. I thought it was normal wear and tear and shows you use your vehicle? I have a ton of scratches on my car, and most of them were probably created by either me or my S/O.
Still a good car.
And our older car was in this really bad hailstorm once where the hailstones were as big as golf balls and baseballs. It has some dings in it from that. Kinda like a souvenir.
Work ...
I'm ready to retire so I am trying to get let go because IDGAF about this job anymore.
I've been doing my job as poorly as I can force myself to. My employer is huge and cutting staff. I've got a reasonable chance at getting a "Go Away" package worth several months pay.
Barring that, they almost certainly won't fire me for cause so I can still collect unemployment. So far they are keeping me around. I'm literally failing at failing.
Apathy On 100
"I seriously could not give half a f*ck less about anything that happens anywhere, to anyone, for any reason outside the four walls of my house."
"My wife, my kid, my dogs, I will kill to keep them safe from the horrific dumpster fire that is life in the USA in 2021, but I don’t have the bandwidth to give even a single crap about Trump v Biden, BLM, transpride, la raza, proud boys, #metoo, Kanye West, Harry and Meghan, who hates whom in whatever third world shithole we’re bombing this week. None of it."

A Haunting
"Ghosts."
"I lived in a most-likely-haunted house when I was 2. I taught myself ghost safety protocols with the various potentially paranormal activity I encountered and eventually became, well, attached to my maybe-ghosts."
"They kinda helped ease my anxiety when I thought about them and even if they weren't real they were a calming perceived presence."
"Today I'm not as believing in ghosts, but I don't completely deny their existence."
"I've been meaning to go ghost hunting and maybe help spirits go to the afterlife or assist in a similar way but goshdarn diddly dang it covid."
- xXChocoboXx
The Religion Of The West
"Veganism: it’s then new religion of the west where they want to guilt people into things instead of going after corporations doing real damage."
"They don’t have the balls to go after corporations that farm animals in abhorrent conditions. They spam and harass individuals because they know they’d get their asses kicked by a company. It's way easier to shame people over their eating habits."
"People eat crap because of its cheap and it’s a classist issue and because they want convenience and not a salad that costs way more than it’s worth."
"Putting the burden on the individual when our current problems are created by capitalism in excess and production norms is cheap and petty."
"Then there's the other idiots I know who think the only way to 'be a man' is by acting like a Neanderthal on a diet of steaks and beer; forgoing anyway that might look green and healthy."
"That's a pathetic way for someone to asset their identity."
"I am native so we live off our land; we use our animals for meat dairy, we grew up with a with sheepskin beddings, shearling pillows, our rugs were woven of animals skins and furs."
"When we bought meat, we went to the market which was open air. You chose the rabbit, chicken etc and they’d slaughter it and pluck it while you wait. Then you pay then take it home."
"There’s nothing immoral or evil about that."
"That’s how we thrived and lived as communities. I have coats of rabbit fur, which we buy from our tanneries. We use every part of the animal."
"It’s only when I moved to the west that I realized that most people have never set foot inside a farm and can’t tell what’s inside their packaged meals."
