Bringing Back 'Who Cares': A Plea for Casual Apathy

• 1:00:29Everything is a big production now; friendships are trauma bonding rather than casual connections.
• 1:00:56We need to bring back the casual where people say 'who cares' and don't obsess over everything.
• 1:01:22When people care too much and get excited about helping, you have to tell them to back off.
• 1:01:57Tim wants the return of apathy—the ability to not care about anything or anyone.
• 1:02:32You should be able to see a nurse and not feel bad for her, or look at politicians and dismiss them without caring.
• 1:03:03Things are too serious right now; we need to go back to not thinking about whether schools are safe.
• 1:03:42Caring about people and wanting them to be okay is destroying him and undoing him psychologically.
• 1:04:17People claim this difficult time has been a blessing or shown them who their real friends are, which Tim rejects entirely.
• 1:04:59Real friends aren't the ones around you when things are horrible; many just want to watch you suffer and fall.
• 1:05:38When things are good is when you figure out who your real friends actually are, not during the worst times.
