I care a whole lot less than I did when I was younger, that is for sure. I would hope that others see in my the things I want and strive to be but if they don't, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Like someone else said, I don't continue relationships that are toxic or hurtful anymore, even if it is family. I no longer keep in contact with my remaining family for that reason. I am not sure if that means I care or not. On some level, I guess it does. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it though.
I do find that as I have gotten older, I want to say things to strangers. Maybe less inhibitions? I don't know what the heck is up with that, but when I see someone doing something rude, I really want to call them on it. I don't, but I have to check myself more. I didn't even think about that when I was younger. Just last night, my husband and I stopped at a Corner Bakery cafe, and I noticed that almost everyone left a huge pile of dishes on their table and not even a dollar for the young girl who was bringing their food and cleaning up after them. It really bugged me. She was working so very hard. I really wanted to say something to the last people I saw leave. Hubby gave me the, don't you dare look and I didn't. But I wouldn't have cared if the whole restaurant hated my guts at that moment.
