Times in Your Life When You Didn't Give a F

[Bitter Creek]

About a year ago, I posted the question about whether or not it was good to not Give a F.

It was an interesting thread IMO. So, here is the follow up.

We have all not given a F at some point or another in our lives. We took off all masks and made people deal with the real us. Take it or leave it.

Question: How did those times work out for you?

Did it pare down the friends list to real friends?
Did some pressure come off of your shoulders?

For the most part this is me 24/7.

I mean not that I don't give a ****, but I typically say exactly what I am thinking whether you want to hear it or not.

Sure, at times I may choose my wording but I won't dial it back enough that it doesn't get the point across.

I have kids. Otherwise I'd be completely unfiltered and well...

You give me respect and I will do my best to return the respect. If not then you can kiss my a**. My wife tries to keep me in line, but lately even my kids will tell others I don't give a chit. My friends love me though and I love them.

SB is an a**hole, but I respect him for that.

I had this happen to me while in college. I got to a bad place in life was kinda lost in what I wanted out of life and where I wanted my life to go. I basically just did what I wanted and that included a bunch of drinking and drugs. I made a ton of friends though during that time. A lot have died or we now have went our separate ways since I am faithfully married man now and I just don't party anymore. I really credit my wife for pulling me out of my haze and bringing light back into my life. Some of the craziest things in my life though come from that period in my life.

I have a very healthy relationship with my folks who are amazing, a few of you know them, and my brothers who I love and usually tolerate.

My folks are not idiots but one thing you don't do is curse, especially hard core, in front of them.

Few weeks ago one of my younger brothers was extremely rude condescending and just plain a dick to my wife. Had a conversation in full view of my mom with him saying he was completely out of line and he needed to apologies. He went over the line and said something very wrong about my wife and I completely lost it. I doubt my mom had heard the f bomb in her entire lifetime as much as she heard it in the space of ten minutes that day. And I obviously promised him physical violence the next time I saw him, which is another big taboo, by basically telling him I was gonna beat his ass worse than any ass I've ever beaten next time I saw him.

I was actually pretty impressed with myself. Mom, not so much.
