Is it normal if i don't take anything seriously?

I take things seriously nor do I like taking things seriously. I'm really a jokester whether I'm joking around with others or with myself. But "potential problem" about not taking things seriously is like at work or I got rejected, or I did something wrong, I had bad manners, mistakes, etc. None of that do I care about or I do but not so much where I'll stress out. I just don't care and laugh it off. Sometimes it might look like I'm doing just that, "not taking something seriously" in a care where you are supposed to and I lookk careless or unlikable for some reason and it's like again, I don't care that much and not gonna stress over it. It's like serious things don't hit me deep enough or I could also be heartless. There a few things I care and love a lot and when those moments happen, it's real and it's true and whatever stress I feel about that, it's worth it because I don't always feel that way. Those things are precious to me. Other than those things, if something like getting fired happens (depends on why) i think I would quickly move on and not care about it. Idk if it's also because I have so much faith that when something bad happens, I don't let it impact me. I'm like whatever, I'm not trippin but it looks like I should be? Don't know. Regardless, I'm happy that I am like this although to other people think its crazy or don't like me for it just cause I'm able to keep a smile on during rough times.

    I think the ability to shrug something off is excellent - but overdone is problematic.

    If you are otherwise happy, in a good state of mind, and function well, and make strides forward - i'd say don't worry!

    If you do not care about improving yourself, or advancing in anyway, or making efforts for others (who make effort for you), i'd look into possible reasons as to why you feel this way.

    • Yeah when I shrug something off its like I'm gonna be positive and move on. Its not hard for me to do like if I fucked up at work for ex I'm just going to be like oh well tomorrow is a new day so l strive for a better day. But this hope I have almost might look like I'm delusional or in my own world to other people like no this is serious and you're supposed to feel bad...well I don't because for some reason I'm just moving on. Its natural for me to not care so much. Life is short so I'm glad I don't stress a lot.

    I wouldn't say arrogance. I'd say trained response. Perhaps you have given up on guilt/feeling less than in favor of not caring. This is often a desensitization/ rebellion issue. While there are pros and cons, i'd say cons are more prevalent.

    This is common in teens who skip school (chronically) for example.

    Best of luck OP!

    You sound healthy, but slightly arrogant, like you think you're so awesome because you can shrug. The shrugging is good, but you may be off-putting to others if you lack empathy. Does your proud ass lack empathy?

    • I didn't even think of arrogance so that's definitely not it. I'm not proud of it, I just happen to be immune to stress I guess.
