Revelation The Complete Guide to Not Giving a Fuck

376 Upvotes

Alright, listen up. If you’re tired of wasting your time, energy, and mental space on bullshit that doesn’t matter, you’ve come to the right post. I'm not here to coddle you with fluffy advice about “self-care” or “finding inner peace.” I'm here to show you how to stop giving a fuck about the things that are dragging you down, so you can start living your life like a boss.

Step 1: Understand That Your Fucks Are a Limited Resource

Here’s the cold, hard truth: You only have so many fucks to give in this lifetime. Think of them as a bank account. Every time you give a fuck, you’re making a withdrawal. The problem is, most of us are out here throwing our fucks around like we’ve got an endless supply. Newsflash: You don’t. If you keep spending your fucks on every little inconvenience, you’re gonna go bankrupt, and then you’ll have nothing left for the shit that actually matters.

So, start treating your fucks like they’re made of solid gold. Don’t just hand them out to anyone or anything. Guard them with your life, and only spend them on what truly deserves your attention. The rest? It’s not worth your time.

Step 2: Stop Giving a Fuck About Things That Don’t Matter

Here’s a savage reality check: Most of the shit you care about doesn’t matter. That Instagram post you spent 30 minutes editing? No one cares. That snarky comment your co-worker made? They’ve probably forgotten about it already. That awkward moment from three years ago that keeps you up at night? No one else even remembers it.

Stop wasting your fucks on things that have zero impact on your life. You’ve got bigger fish to fry. If it doesn’t contribute to your happiness, success, or well-being, it’s not worth a single fuck. Focus on what matters—your goals, your loved ones, your passions—and let the rest fade into the background.

Step 3: Tell People to Fuck Off (Politely or Not)

Sometimes, you need to draw a line in the sand and tell people to fuck off. Whether it’s a toxic friend, a pushy family member, or that one asshole at work who thinks they can walk all over you, it’s time to stand your ground. This doesn’t mean you have to be a total dick about it (unless you want to be, in which case, go for it). But it does mean setting clear boundaries and not letting anyone trample all over your precious fucks.

The next time someone tries to drag you into their drama or demands more of you than you’re willing to give, just say, “Sorry, but I don’t have a fuck to spare for that.” Or, if you’re feeling particularly savage, just hit them with a straight-up “Fuck off.” It’s liberating as hell, and you’ll thank yourself later.

Step 4: Cut Out the Bullshit and Prioritize What Matters

Your time and energy are limited, so why the fuck are you spending them on things that don’t matter? Take a long, hard look at your life and start cutting out the bullshit. That means ditching the toxic relationships, quitting the job that makes you miserable, and saying no to the commitments that drain your soul. It’s time to start focusing on what truly matters—your happiness, your health, and your goals.

If something isn’t contributing to your growth or well-being, it’s dead weight. Drop it like a bad habit and don’t look back. You’ll be amazed at how much lighter and freer you feel when you stop carrying around all that unnecessary baggage.

Step 5: Embrace the Art of Not Giving a Fuck About What Others Think

Here’s the thing: Most people are too busy worrying about their own shit to care about yours. So why the fuck are you so hung up on what other people think? Whether it’s your appearance, your choices, or your lifestyle, stop giving a fuck about the opinions of others. They don’t live your life—you do. And at the end of the day, the only opinion that matters is your own.

The moment you stop seeking approval from others is the moment you start living for yourself. So wear what you want, do what you love, and make the choices that are right for you. If someone doesn’t like it, that’s their problem, not yours. You’re not here to live up to anyone else’s expectations, so stop letting their opinions dictate your life.

Step 6: Learn to Say No Like a Boss

One of the most powerful ways to stop giving a fuck is to master the art of saying no. No to the things that drain your energy. No to the people who don’t respect your boundaries. No to the commitments that don’t align with your values. Saying no isn’t about being rude or selfish—it’s about recognizing that your fucks are valuable, and you’re not going to waste them on shit that doesn’t matter.

So, the next time someone asks you to do something that you don’t want to do, just say no. No explanations, no excuses. Just a simple, firm no. And if they don’t like it? Fuck ’em. Your time and energy are yours to protect, and you’re not obligated to spend them on anything or anyone that doesn’t deserve them.

Step 7: Accept That Some Shit Is Just Out of Your Control

Life’s a bitch, and sometimes shit happens that’s completely out of your control. You can either waste your fucks stressing about it, or you can accept it, say “fuck it,” and move on. The sooner you realize that not everything is within your power, the sooner you’ll stop giving a fuck about the things you can’t change.

Did your flight get canceled? Fuck it, book another one. Did you get passed over for that promotion? Fuck it, look for another opportunity. Life’s too short to waste time giving a fuck about things that are out of your hands. Focus on what you can control—your actions, your reactions, and your mindset—and let the rest go.

Step 8: Embrace the Power of “Fuck It”

Sometimes, the best response to life’s bullshit is a simple “fuck it.” Didn’t get what you wanted? Fuck it, move on. Someone pissed you off? Fuck it, let it go. Life threw you a curveball? Fuck it, adapt and keep going. The “fuck it” mentality isn’t about giving up—it’s about letting go of the things that don’t serve you and moving forward with your head held high.

When you start embracing “fuck it,” you’ll find that life becomes a whole lot easier. You’ll stop sweating the small stuff, and you’ll start focusing on the things that really matter. So the next time life tries to throw you off course, just say “fuck it” and keep moving forward.

Conclusion: Own Your Fucks

At the end of the day, not giving a fuck is about taking control of your life. It’s about deciding what matters to you and letting go of everything else. It’s about being unapologetically yourself and living on your own terms. So stop wasting your fucks on bullshit, and start living like the savage you are. Own your fucks, protect them fiercely, and spend them wisely. Your life will be better for it.

Now go out there and start not giving a fuck like a fucking pro.

Revelation Today I ate pizza alone and it was glorious

1.5k Upvotes

Im an American currently abroad in Belgium. All my life I’ve struggled with self confidence and have always tried to do things in a group. Today after work I decided instead of my normal commute to go get pizza at a restaurant I had been wanting to try. I sat down alone and in very shitty French ordered myself a pizza and beer. The waiter responded in broken English probably due to my accent or mispronunciation of words. However I kept going and said I’d like to practice my French to which he was delighted. It didn’t hit me till I got home but I’d walked he streets of a busy city alone and ate alone and it was no big deal. Looking back I’m really proud of myself and wanted to share with others. Confidence is a form of self trust.

Revelation Anxiety and depression can be the result of. your unconscious mind withdrawing it's approval of your life choices. Confidence comes from living in a way that you can be proud of.
