About This Quote
It is important to keep a level of detachment toward a situation in order for you to feel a sense of ease about it. If you become overly involved in a situation, you allow yourself to become emotionally invested in it. That can make everything more difficult. It’s important to try to raise the question, “How can I give less of shit?” when you’re in a situation where someone is talking about how much they care about something.
In the moment, that person may seem like they have a lot of importance in the situation, but that importance is mostly an illusion. It takes being detached enough to realize that this person only has importance because they are in a position to give you a lot of shit. If they were not, their importance would be nil.
