Its fairly straightforward: pretend "you" doesn't exist. That means don't ever picture yourself in the past or future tense. Don't build up images of the person you "want to be" in the future. Don't see yourself as having any unique values or ideas or defining attributes. There is no "you." Self is an illusion. Clear your mind slowly of any and all conscious thought. That voice in your head that builds you up and tears you down, that narrates your every action? Silence it.

No one said it was going to be easy.

I've NEVER not given a fuck more than when I was on valium. literally anything would happen and I just wouldn't give a fuck.

For example, my wanted to get outside to piss but i just didn't give a fuck. then he pissed on the floor, and I can't even describe how little i cared.

not a single fuck was given that day

Yeah. Some people call it enlightenment. Its more like disappearing into your sense data as a result of never processing anything into memory, but whatever. Your consciousness is removed of all "blockage" that is to say self awareness, and merely becomes a tube through which sensory information flows.

>> No.3683846

ever notice the people that "dont give a fuck" are successful?

they're lying about not giving a fuck. they just won the game & are then able to have that "oh its just a game" smug satisfaction with themselves. meanwhile they're very driven and motivated to sustain their level of success & pretend everything comes naturally to them to maintain their sense of worth and ego.

people that really don't give a fuck have given up & live a modern day monk like life style. they don't study math and science hours on end everyday.

>> No.3683855

Not giving a fuck is achieved by being an atheist because as an atheist you have no reason to live except to procreate. So when you realise that the only reason that you are alive is because life is programmed to survive without any global goals, then it should be easy to stop caring.

How I did it
1. study the most brutal parts of history and realize it pointless unless idiots magically vanish. (Note: due to the fuzzy nature of idiots this can not happen)
2. survive suicidal depression and some incredible shocks first hand and safely dwell on the fact part of you died, the part that cared
3. study the soft science of economics, once you realize how money is connected to everything you can see how the structural flaws in money system and will bring everything back to a dark age it changes you
4. care for everything so much you find the futility of it all and stop caring

This could be better designed if we knew what you are trying to not care for. It is magnitudes easier to stop caring about a specific part of life this the whole deal. There are degrees as well. Physical pain still motivated me to eat for example, despite how I stop doing it every so often. Another approach is to over come your problem and fine happiness. Ironically after 2 years of this careless wandering I figured out how to care in a different manner and have became happy and healthy, a frame of reference can change everything.

I think it can only really be done by exposure to emotional extremes.

I gave many, many fucks. So many that it made me go mad. But from experiencing being mad, and then fixing it. I now don't give a fuck.

Unless I maybe still mad.

Seriously, though, you can not change an entire life's worth of brain programming in one night. All of your experiences and memories have culminated in you being someone who gives a fuck, to change that you will have to go through weeks and months of behavioural "therapy".

Simple thing to do would be putting a tough rubber band on your wrist, and every time you care about something pull it back and snap it on your wrist. Reprogram your brain on an instinctive level and you can stop giving a fuck.

this. because creating this thread is Needy. Neediness stinks, get rid of it. You need nobody's approval.
>>3683555
this. because you need to be alright with whichever way something will turn out.

and there are some others, but I shall give you an exercise (which, for a 4channer, I don't think will be difficult). It's called: The caveman. This occurs over the duration of 2 days (it's a part of a bigger thing, though..). Day 1: give someone a random compliment. something that catches your eye. after the encounter, try to remember their eye color.

day 2: when you wake up in the morning, don't shower, bathe, brush your teeth, comb your hair, or attend to any hygiene other than medical. this allows you to be comfortable with however you project yourself.

most of all, though, be confident. i don't mean to say that you need to be bold and fight a bear or something. but, rather even if you do something wrong, you have to stick to your guns. go down with the ship. be deliberate, and don't show any signs of faltering. from more neurotic point of view, this could ruin the structure of your life. but, that's the point: to free yourself from the expectations of others. that's how you don't give a fuck.
