How do I balance caring and not caring. Jesus Christ, whenever

give me one example of each, one where you cared too much and people told you to calm down, and one where you cared too little and people though you were a jerk.

Went to go workout to cool off.

Caring too much:
Last week, we had a simple project to start off the semester(I'm undergrad). A group project, team had to work together to get a marshmallow as high as they can with Spaghetti sticks and what not. I was "Toxic", while everyone had a "good time". Excuse me for trying to beat the other groups to receive extra 10 points on the exam.

Not caring at all:
I remember a time where there was a huge gust of wind, the Air was FILLED with dirt and we had to stay indoors. I made jokes, I was relaxed, doesn't matter, I feel safe inside the doors and it's just wind + dirt. Nothing collapsed or damaged to the building. Some dude and a group of his friends come up to me, "Grow the fuck up!".

There's others, but I'm just giving a quick example hoping it's not too late to reply

> I was "Toxic", while everyone had a "good time". Excuse me for trying to beat the other groups to receive extra 10 points on the exam.

see, you didnt actually answer my question. you gave a scenario then said 'I CARED TOO MUCH' but didnt explain HOW you cared too much. what did you say or do that made other people say you cared to omuch.

that being said, your answer is a little telling. when you said

> Excuse me for trying to beat the other groups to receive extra 10 points on the exam

it sounds like you care too much about 10 points to the point where you're going to act rude and uppity. if caring about something makes you act rude and uppity, its generally too much.

>the storm story

what jokes did you make?

All I said was, "That method only works with 2 sticks on each leg, if you go any more it will become unstable and the whole thing will collapse. We need to keep the tower at the highest WE can go, we don't even know if the other people's tower will hold. What if they let go of the tower, it collapses immediately? Our tower will, by default, be the highest tower. Let's leave it as it is with 2 sticks on each leg." They then proceeded to try and add another stick to the legs for the next 4 minutes out of the 5 that we had left. It infuriated me because I KNOW it won't work, and it DIDN'T, so I kept repeating myself while getting quieter and quieter each moment as to not get annoying. Last minute arrived and they finally realized I was right, and removed the additional leg they added.


The joke that I made included some kid that died like 14 years now? He died crossing the road when an 18 wheeler crossed without seeing him. The lights turned off for 5 minutes and I said, "OH NO, it's ANON coming from the dead!"

something tells me you're not telling us the whole truth if this is your best example of each.

but yeah, on that second one making a joke about a dead local to the open public is pretty fucking rude bro,.
