“i don’t care”

Perhaps the phrase
is meant to be
nonchalant
but it comes across as
noncommittal,

holding out/holding in
your real opinion.

It’s pathetically apathetic
not to speak your mind
with honest clarity; to own
your own point-of-view.

i don’t care? oh, yes, you do!

    As long as we listen to the opposite point of view as well I’m all fine

    Like Shaun, I was taught that ‘don’t care was made to care’, and I have always found that anyone who said they didn’t care really did. I agree, Lynn, that it’s ‘pathetically apathetic not to speak your mind with honest clarity; to own your own point-of-view.’

    It is good to care – especially when you figure out what deserves to be and what not! Jae

    “i don’t care” = fear of failure.

    I remember a teacher (or my mum) always saying ‘don’t care was made to care’ – I didn’t really get it at the time…

    I agree with this sentiment! Lynn, It’s best to speak truthfully even if it ruffles some feathers 🪶🩵
