Is it normal to feel that some emotions are detrimental to your prosperity?

If there is anything I never understood people is why the fuck do you let shit get to you? You want your emotions to stop hindering you? Then don't give a shit. Accept the fact that shit happens and shit always will happen. For all the years that I've been in this world, one thing that I've learned is that you can't cry over every fucking bad thing that happens to you. The world isn't going to be nice and feeling sorry for yourself like a weak fuck is pathetic and it isn't going to get you anywhere. This is a real shitty world, my friend, and that's not going to change. Stop fucking caring what people think of you. Stop fucking caring about embarrassment, rejection, all that shit because that's going to fucking happen. Live your life and enjoy while you still have it.

Detatchment comes easier to some people. But you don't want to detatch from the positive emotions. I think people often forget that there is a flip side to the pain and sadness of this world. Just because you feel it, doesn't mean you have to dwell in it. The happiest people are not those who never feel negative emotions, they just manage to overcome them. In some cases they make you stronger.

And no one forces you to care what others think, that is all you. It can be difficult to ignore the "they will think" mantra that is on repeat. But you don't actually know what they think. Nor does is truly matter what "they" think. Who is this "they" we try so hard to please?

I've been trying to find the answer to this question for a long time, how do I stop caring about what people think of me? Maybe it's just me, but the only answer I can come up with is to be around people that have seen you at your worst and still want to hang out with you. Once you have at least one person who you know you can be yourself around, then you kind of stop caring what people think of you. At least in my case that's how it works. I wouldn't really recommend my advice though, because it requires another person, which is something that I don't imagine you or a lot of people would want.

Nobody will care in 10 years. Not even that actually. If you make a complete fool of yourself, people will get over it, even if it takes a while (although you'd have to do something pretty stupid). If you get rejected, no one will care in 10 years. However, if you don't get rejected, in 10 years, you might still know that person.:)

Don't beat yourself up for being the way you are either, it won't help. Just take your time with it.

My life is all about my emotions.

Your responses are all so fucking cliche...

Disregard all these politically correct moralists.

Try Psychadelic Drugs like Cannabis, LSD, DMT, Magic Mushrooms, Absinthe etc.

Study Nihilism.
