You’re Wasting F^%KS Like a Drunken B@ST@RD
Let’s get one thing straight—your time, energy, and mental capacity are limited as F^%K.
If life were a video game, you’d wake up each morning with a set amount of “F^%K Points” to spend. But instead of using them wisely, most people blow through their daily stash on:
- Worrying about what strangers think.
- Obsessing over things they can’t control.
- Arguing with idiots on the internet.
- Stressing over other people’s drama.
By lunchtime, they’re mentally exhausted, miserable, and stuck in an endless loop of “Why the F^%K am I so tired all the time?”
Spoiler: It’s because you’re wasting your F^%KS on S#*T that doesn’t matter.
Here’s how to reclaim your mental energy, stress less, and start giving a F^%K about the right things.
The Psychology of Giving Too Many F^%KS
Ever wonder why it’s so damn hard to stop caring about dumb S#*T? Turns out, there are a few major reasons:
1. Your Brain Is an Overprotective A$$hole
Humans evolved to care way too much because, back in the caveman days, being disliked could literally get you killed.
- 10,000 years ago, if your tribe thought you were annoying, they’d kick your A$$ out, and you’d get eaten by a lion.
- Today? That random dude from work thinking you’re weird doesn’t actually matter—but your brain still treats it like life-or-death.
2. Society Trains You to Give Too Many F^%KS
Modern life thrives on keeping you overwhelmed and distracted.
- Companies profit off your insecurity (buy this, achieve that, be more like them).
- Social media feeds on your outrage and comparison (you’re never good enough).
- The world wants you so busy worrying about dumb S#*T that you don’t have time to actually be happy.
3. Your F^%K-Giving Habits Are Deeply Wired
Every time you stress over pointless crap, your brain reinforces that habit. Breaking the cycle takes effort, but once you do? Life gets 100x better.
Step 1: The F^%K Budget – Spend Wisely or Go Broke
Think of your mental energy as a F^%K budget—you’ve only got so much to spend each day. Blow it on useless nonsense, and you’ll have nothing left for the S#*T that actually matters.
How to Manage Your F^%K Budget Like a Pro
Before wasting your precious F^%KS, ask yourself these four questions:
- Will this matter in a week? A month? A year?
If not, drop it. Most problems are temporary, but people stress like they’re permanent. - Is this my problem to solve?
If you can’t control it, why the F^%K are you letting it eat your brain? Let that S#*T go. - Does this align with my values?
If it doesn’t match what actually makes your life better, it’s a hard pass. - What’s the opportunity cost?
Every F^%K you give to dumb S#T is a F^%K you can’t spend on stuff that brings real joy. *Choose wisely.
Step 2: Social Media Is a F^%K-Sucking Black Hole – Escape It
If you feel like your brain is constantly fried, there’s a good chance social media is robbing your F^%KS.
Here’s what it’s doing to you:
- Comparison trap: Makes you feel like S#*T because Karen from high school seems “more successful.”
- Outrage cycle: Feeds you garbage just to keep you engaged.
- Mental clutter: Floods your brain with pointless info that you’ll forget in 10 minutes.
How to Take Your F^%KS Back from Social Media
- Curate your feed—If it doesn’t inspire, inform, or make you laugh, unfollow that B!+CH.
- Set time limits—Because mindlessly scrolling for hours is a F^%K-wasting disaster.
- Use it intentionally—Post, engage, and get the F^%K out.

Step 3: Drop the People-Pleasing B!+CH-A$$ BullS#*T
If your life is full of people who drain you, you’re giving too many F^%KS to the wrong crowd.
Signs You Need to Cut Back on People-Pleasing:
- You say “yes” when you want to say “F^%K no.”
- You feel responsible for other people’s emotions.
- You let guilt control your decisions.
How to Stop Being a F^%K-Giving Doormat
1. Start saying “no” without a damn essay.
- No explanation. No over-apologizing. Just “No, that doesn’t work for me.”
2. Set boundaries like a F^%KING adult.
- Example: “I’m not available to talk about this right now.” Boom. Done.
3. Recognize that people will be F^%KING fine without you fixing everything.
- Their drama ≠ your responsibility.

Step 4: Master the Art of Selective F^%K-Giving
You don’t have to go full “I don’t give a F^%K about anything” mode. You just need to be selective.
WORTH YOUR F^%KS:
- Your passions, dreams, and personal growth.
- Deep, meaningful relationships.
- Causes and issues that genuinely align with your values.
NOT WORTH YOUR F^%KS:
- Internet fights with strangers.
- Petty office drama.
- Keeping up with the latest trends to impress people you don’t even like.

Reclaim Your F^%KS, Reclaim Your Peace
