I Don't Care

When I say “I don’t care,” it’s really just a way to hide how much something has hurt me. It’s easier to act like it doesn’t matter than to admit I’m feeling upset. By brushing off my feelings, I’m trying to avoid dealing with the pain. But behind that act of indifference, I’m actually hurting and struggling with rejection or disappointment. “I don’t care” is my way of protecting myself while I work through those feelings.
