The Freedom of Not Caring: Why Midlifers Ditch the Drama

Article
Written By Rob Bialostocki

Key points

  • Midlife brings many changes, and one consistently pops up for many people.

  • Life changes mean you may not need to care anymore what others think.

  • Reason 1: You’ve been around, and realise nothing much is that new.

  • Reason 2: You realise many things don’t actually matter that much.

  • Reason 3: You place a premium on your attention, time, and energy.

  • An important caveat: Don’t be a dick.

  • It’s possible to be kind and not care at the same time.
