Taking life seriously

I dont know how many more years it will take me to take life seriously. I take things so easily and conveniently without understanding the ground reality effects they may have. If i am at work, i am so careless that i dont understand the gravity of my wrong doing. If i am home, i say or do things in my childishness that may have consequences i dont take serious.

I dont know when i will start accpeting things and accep the seriousness and criticality involved with them. The youngest child of a family probably never really grows up since they are made to feel they are the youngest they act childish and take things that lightly too. I have seen things go wrong due to my carelessness and obliviousness. I have seen girls my age act sophisticated, professionally, sharply and so lady-like. I, on the other hand, fail to accept the seriousness, understand the critical nature of some thing, act mature, act professional.

I am the sort of person who would put on make up sitting on my desk without caring if three other people are staring at me but thats how i am, i dont take things that serious or act that carefully. Although i am aware its not some thing righ ti am doing but i have that dont-care attitude. A friend of mine was unwell and i kept teasing her and irritating her at the hospital like my usual self without realizing how much of a problem it may be for her. I dont know what has done this but i feel i have become ruthless. Even at home, i say so many things that are not mature, responsible or thought-out remarks - i just blurt it all out.

Sorry, I am just venting … I am not liking my behaviour and am unable to change myself to be a little more careful or serious in life.

Re: Taking life seriously

look for some underlying reasons...may wanna consult a psychiatrist...in this day and age, there ain't no stigma attached to seeing a Psychiatrist. It's about your mental and physical well-being. i think, u must see one. Good Luck :)

Re: Taking life seriously

In my understanding, taking things lightly could be a plus point because your not taking stress which could lead to depression. You need to take things seriously where it is appropriate/necessary otherwise keep up with your carefree attitude to not let things get onto you easily. Don't make your life hell by taking every tiny bitty pieces seriously else it can rip your heart apart and make u a weaker person if your TOO SERIOUS about every single thing in life. Keep a well balance of maturity, sincerity, sensitivity, and carefree trait...
