I think that's more on the lines of what I meant.
But, if someone doesnt care what you think, or what you believe in, is it even worth it to express yourself to them? I got into a disagreement with my friend about something and she sounded frustrated. In the end she concluded this "I dont really care what you believe in" then went on to other things. I mean those words, they sound so cold. Wouldnt it be better to say "I agree to disagree, and I respect your opinion" ?
Cause I've been noticing over the past years people saying they dont care about things, dont care about others or what they think. To me, it's all fear based. "If I dont care what you think, then you cant hurt me," so they project that out and say it to everyone. They reject others before others reject them. It just sounds very cold.

It really seems like a more authentic way to communicate, like our cores are speaking without being filtered through social expectation. That's what it feels like, being unfiltered and unstifled. |
If that's what it means, then this is very new to me. So not caring what a person thinks of you, means you appreciate them? Or does it just mean you have removed any influence they have over you?
