How do you feel after someone says, "I don't care"?

Question

...no matter what the question I just asked, it unnerves me just a bit. I don't care is so... Uninvolved.

Answer 1

Well to be honest I dont really care to answer this one right now

Answer 2

Its one of those things when you have to take the high road especially if its you they are talking to about something you feel passionate about.  It may tick you off, but they really do care they are trying to take the heat off of them.  Just blow it off and say well ok your right you don't have to care I am just letting you know how I feel.  That way they know you are serious.  Eventually if they are worth being in your life they usually come around.

Answer 3

It's really, really frustrating.  Especially if you're talking about something very important, or life changing. It's almost as if they've lost hope.

I agree with you, very unnerving.

Answer 4

we will have to care for ourselves; when we care for us; naturally we will be helpful for others. in humanity; we have to depend and depend on whom we can depend.

Answer 5

i usually report them because they're not answering the question.

it makes feel me so d**n frustrated...

especially those 10 year olds saying "idk" or"answer my question"

Answer 6

It would hurt my feelings

Answer 7

same because what comes around goes around.

Answer 8

In the past it would upset me -now I would just think that person is not worth an ounce of energy.   They are making a statement about themselves and general attitude.  Some people are just not worth the air they breath.

Answer 9

I would tell them that they are most likely a Nihilist.

Answer 10

I don't care

Answer 11

I think, "F*** you A$$hole!!!"  people like that are ignorant...

Answer 12

Then I don't care either - can't waste my time  -  have too many other people who do care - Goodbye!

Answer 13

Yeah, it really ticks me off when people say that. Actually, I usually start yelling at people when they say it. It's so annoying. I don't even know how to describe why.

Answer 14

i feel like the person doesnt care.

its annoying that they dont care.

Answer 15

It depends what they mean by it.  If I say, "Would you like ice cream or apple pie?" and they say, "I don't care,"  I assume they will be happy whatever I bring.  

But if I say, "I'm feeling really miserable, " and someone says, "I don't care," then obviously that's mean and nasty.

I guess if it means '"I'll be happy either way," it doesn't seem so uninvolved, but if they really don't care  about feelings or opinions, then it's rather rude!

Answer 16

my son  always says i don,t care i can talk to him about certain thing he hallows i don,t even care.i say to my son if you don,t care who will.so after he said it for so many years i started to believe by his action he really don,t care.it shows in everything he does  he half do his chores i say to him when you get a job you need to show you want your job he says i don,t care.i believe he don,t even care about me,only when he wants and needs something from me.

Answer 17

Either uninvolved like you said or they feel like they have it all, and no matter what they say or what you say, it won't change anything.

Answer 18

Had this discussion with my EX, took the time to look up the definition of "care". Care means to be excessively worried or concerned in other words neurotic.

I asked her "You want me to be neurotic?" She did not answer which was typical of her when things where not going her way.

So since I'm not neurotic and have absolutely no desire to be so I do not care and it does not bother me in the lest if others have the same attitude.

Answer 19

Rejection ? They're being detached, so you feel like you're not worth their "care".  

Answer 20

it really doesnt botherr me

well unless the question is likee what do you wanna do [= but i say it all the timee

Answer 21

i don't care.

Answer 22

sour, sweet, bitter, pungent..

it all must be tasted.

when someone says they do not care

i feel confused that they do not share

what i think,say..etc.

but everyone is entitled to their opinions

as well. i simply move on.

Answer 23

In real life:

I think people should have opinions and share them not just say "I don't know".

Though I'm sometimes guilty of it myself, because I don't want people  to think my answers are stupid.

In yahoo answers:

I get really annoyed because it doesn't help at all and isn't even an answer

Answer 24

back then it used to hurt my feelings, i didn't know how to cope with it

but after having more life experiences, ive learned that to just ignore it

so if someone tells me that, i wouldn't give a jack S**t
