Why are People attracted to those with a “don’t care ‘attitude?
I think there is a pretty simple explanation to this.
You just need to look at it from a different angle.
Underneath the veil of a “don’t care” attitude is a person that knows what they do care about.
The way they conduct themselves aligns with their own set of personalized values.
While it may seem like they do not care about something, it is superseded by something else that they do care about - something that is more important to the individual.
It is not about being emotionless and indifferent; it is about being aware of the possibilities and choosing to stay true to oneself.
Contrary to the popular belief that it is "outward based", it is actually an internally based view. It serves as a solid internal world where one has their priorities straight.
Someone very close to me married a guy who had a “could not care less attitude”.
She was attracted to his easy going manner.
Sadly she discovered he had the same attitude for most things, the house could have fallen down as he did zero maintenance, there was little importance placed on paying bills on time and he had zero self-control over food and drink.
?Money was spent like water and nothing was more important to him than holidays. She realized that while this attitude might be ok in a friend, it was no good in a marriage. They divorced.
"Why don't I care about anything?" is a question you might ask yourself if you are struggling with symptoms of depression, but it can also be a sign of other problems as well.
Do you feel like you've lost interest in things you used to care about?
This can happen from time to time for anyone, and the feeling usually passes with time.
If you find yourself persistently feeling like you don't care about anything, then it can be a sign that something in your life needs to change or that you are experiencing some type of mental health condition.
This article discusses some of the signs that you’ve stopped caring and what causes this type of feeling.
It also covers some of the strategies that may help you feel more interested and engaged in the world around you.

Thank you?…."That's not my job."
Really?
You're going to deflect responsibility when there's an important job to be done?
(I used to work at a government agency where people would say, "That's not my function," as if they were robots.) Unprofessional.
Do you?know what I?mean?"
It's good to make sure the people are on the same page, but when you?use this phrase at the end of every sentence, it's annoying and unprofessional.

"Sucker."
Really?
You put one over on somebody, and now you're unprofessional enough to comment on it?
"Sorry I'm late... "
We all run behind sometimes, but when this becomes your mantra, it indicates that you don't value other people's time. That's really unprofessional.
Do you want to add a word or two?
"No problem."
This is admittedly my crusade: to get people to stop saying this in place of "You're welcome." It's the same number of syllables, so it takes no more effort, but one phrase suggests respect; the other suggests pure unprofessionalism.
"We've got big plans!"
Plans are nice. You know what's nicer? Achievements
."I'm a guru."
A guru?
Unless you mean that you are a Buddhist or Hindu spiritual teacher, it's time to retire this world from professional descriptions. In fact, only unprofessional people still use it.
Your Comments …..
"They'll never notice."
Wow. So that's the standard? Nothing says unprofessional like trying to pass off shoddy work as something of quality.
"I know you have to go but let me tell you one more thing... "I can't forgive."
Refusing to forgive usually punishes you more than?whoever offended you. Forgetting might be a different story -- but unprofessional people don't know the difference.
"That's nothing... "
Whether?it's said in the context of sour grapes or cutting down someone else's accomplishments, this phrase conveys no positive sentiments?and marks you as a jealous, unprofessional person.
"Let's go along to get along."
While comity may be a worthwhile goal, unprofessional people use this saying as an excuse to give up.
"Oh, let me one-up you..."
People don't actually say this, but we know the behavior. Someone tells a story, then someone else tries to steal the spotlight. Unprofessional, through and through.
How many times in the past few years have you heard the phrase “I Don’t Care”?
Even more important the question “does anyone really care”. If you give it some thought it is kind of scary.?
"That's too hard."
I once had a co-worker who had three boxes on his desk: "in," "out," and "too hard." I think it was a joke, but it still made him look unprofessional.

Gossip, gossip,?gossip,?gossip,?gossip,?gossip -- unprofessional. "I already know that." God forbid they keep their mouth closed long enough to learn something new.? "You must have misunderstood...

However, at other times, unprofessional people use this phrase to?equivocate and get out of doing things they'd agreed or even promised to do.
