When I was 21yrs old, life thought me a valuable lesson that I'll never forget:
Nobody cares about you
Here's why:
One of the most sig...

At the age of 50 I would temper that and say it's not that "no one cares", it's that everyone else has their own worries to deal with and you come last, if at all, in their list of things to worry about. People in your family will care about you and your friends care about you but maybe not as much as you think they do.
If you want to get on in life you have to think of yourself first most of the time and be very picky about those you support and care about. Doesn't mean you have to be nasty to people or even ignore them when they need help, just be selective with who you help and how much. Don't become a "soft touch" who will simply get walked all over.
Since the mid 1990s we've told all kids they're special, the "no kid left behind" and "everyone attendee gets a medal" mentality that is in the school system as given us generations of peope who think they matter and they're special. You, me and everyone else is not special, you may matter to some people you love and whom love you, but in the grand scheme of humaity you are not special in any way and you never will be. Once you accept that then you begin to scope down to where you do matter to those people you care about, then life gets easier to deal with.
The most important thing, don't let it get to you, be positive 'cos sometimes a harsh truth can be liberating and free you from things that didn't matter anyway.
100% agree George.
No-one cares is very black and white! There are TONS of people with passion who absolutely care deeply about others! They can be hard to find but the easiest way to find them is to be someone who deeply cares and shows that they care and advocated for people to be caring I've found! :D
Agreed ,it's a hard truth, I am 21 right now lol. it's just endless expectations from everyone...They don't care about you the just care about the value you can provide to them.
You'll soon discover that many people that tell you things like "you won't make it", "why do you even try?",...
Are people that failed, stop trying and wanna take others down, who're working hard, with them.
The greatest tip I can give you my brother is that if you want to be free and happy then make connections with people that have a similar vision, goals and values as yourself.
thanks.
Hope you're doing well.
Bless you ^^
Just be yourself and that's enough.
Oh you are luckily so fcking wrong.
God, I hope so.
Thank for sharing
Well thanks for that cheerful morning read!
Becoming selfish
Free your soul!
At 25, I learned a crucial lesson: nobody cares as much as you think. This realization freed me to focus on my own goals and self-growth. It was tough, but ultimately empowering.
Sometimes it may take a long time to see certain things, but when you do, you become stronger.
Absolutely, life will be much better when you do this.
Everyone should think of themselves in this life, even when there is a relationship of interest with parents. Even they like it more when you do what they want.
