Fear or anxiety often shows up not because you’re in danger, but because you care deeply about what’s ahead, or what might go wrong, or what could be lost, and that’s a sign of how much heart you have.

By saying “Nah, I care too much” instead of “I don’t give a fck,” you interrupt the internal feeling or mental spiral. When you say “I don’t give a fck,” it’s like you’re letting the emotion flow while simultaneously denying that you actually do give a fck, creating a sort of internal conflict. They might sound similar, but the effect is different. Try it and see how it feels. GL
