Here’s a a life skill that many don’t talk about enough: the fine art of ignoring. And no, I don’t mean just turning your back and walking away. I mean strategically, gracefully, and unapologetically not caring.
Take this meme as the ultimate example: sitting on your sofa, phone in hand, scrolling through meaningless apps while life’s problems pile up like unread emails. Why stress, though? Problems, much like annoying WhatsApp messages, have a funny way of disappearing if you give them enough silence.
And speaking of silence, let’s address the WhatsApp crowd—you know who they are. The ones who:
• Write essays as if your WhatsApp is a diary submission.
• Send “???” because you didn’t reply within 0.2 seconds.
• Believe “online” means “ready to be annoyed.”
Here’s my approach: don’t reply. Don’t justify. Don’t even open the chat if it means giving them satisfaction. Read receipts? Off. Mute? Forever. I’ll get back to them when the moon aligns with Mars, or maybe never. And emails? Let’s be real—if it’s not urgent or paying my bills, it’s going straight to archive.
Life becomes exponentially better when you stop explaining yourself to people who don’t deserve your time. I’ve mastered the art of ignoring tactfully, and honestly, it feels like freedom. Not everyone gets access to your energy—and that’s perfectly okay.
Life motto: Not everything deserves a reply. Especially not on WhatsApp.
Remember, friends: staying unbothered is an art form. And I’m here for it.
