Paranoid or care-free? Which is better?

[Falk 'Ace' Flyer]

I've noticed lately that I don't seem to care. About anything. This is pretty chill, because I'm always myself and never afraid to have fun at my own expense. And I never really feel down anymore, which is also nice. Of course, deadlines don't press me, and more importantly, I don't seem to care what happens to be or other people. I'm not really worried about college, and I'm not worried about what will happen once I graduate from it. I dunno, I guess it's working out pretty well so far, but we'll have to see.


But what about you guys? Do you think it's okay to have not a worry in the world, or is it dangerous to be anything short of stressed out all the time?


Also, the reason I chose this forum is because I don't want peopel saying "I worry about myself to much boo hoo etc.", I want to see if it's nice to balance pressure or not. What do you think the world would be like if everybody was scared of the future, or if nobody cared what happened next?

I feel the same way. Since high school. I just became a "whatever" guy.
Although despite that i think it is better to be paranoid. To be aware of your surrounding and what going on and sometimes stress is a great thing.
If you dont have stress you wont be moved or motivated to do better or avoid bad situations. If care free you are just gonna go along dragging by.
Being aware and racking your brain to do better is better than just barely getting by no caring to me.

I wouldn't know. I've never experienced anything besides paranoia about the weather.

I think a moderate balance is best. You have to have a bit of both to be successful in life.

Carefree. With good judgement.

Paranoia can help keep you safe, but restrict your experiences.

Carefree can put you in danger and put you into harmful situations.

A healthy mix would be the best.
