I'm glad it ties into your New Life, I hope that's going well and you're rocking part of the list and paying attention to the ones you're not (like me, I'm still working on it hehe)
Great read! The older I get, the less f#$%’s I give about things that don’t bring me or my loved ones joy. “I give selective f’s” needs to be on a tshirt.
#11 is my favorite. I LOVE dragging people UP with me when I have somewhere to be. I want everyone to be successful at whatever it is they want, even if we are competitors!
Very well thought out. I’m pondering as to where I fit in … there are a few. Sometimes you don’t recognize yourself until someone points it out. Thanks!
I doubt many, if any, have the entire list together. I'm still working on a number of them myself. Just having the insight to see where you fit is a solid start though!
Thanks Dr Axel! That's what I love about this list, we have some of the items mastered but most people can pick at least one thing to work on. I have more than one I'm working on hehe.
Thanks for your thoughts and observations, Robin. Hope you have an Unfuckedwith Day! I can't wait to try out that departing salutation, instead of "have a nice day".
Thank you. This is a great compilation of very useful truths about what to strive for as a human. I needed the reminder today. I have things on this list that come to me more naturally and others I have to work on continuously. Even at 75, being human is a continual challenge.
I aspire to be Unfuckwithable! And I follow or do many of the things on this list. I worked in retail for 14 years- hell, yes, I will judge you on how you treat that minimum wage worker! Letting go of the little distractions and focusing on what really matters (which is connections with others), being kind, and lifting others…this is what I focus on.
I LOVE this list, Robin. Also, now I have K-OS’ “Crabbucket” stuck in my head.
hell yes, I just people based on how they treat minimum wage workers. It shows so much about their true character, but also their understanding of the world. If they're expecting caviar service at mcnugget pricing, from people with their own struggles, they aren't realistic.
Great, now I have K-OS in my head too. Thanks. lol
Totally agree. Give selective f’s is the most important for me. The pandemic was/is horrible but gave me the time to really see what mattered most and ditch the rest. Giving up on building ego and giving yourself permission to do your own thing is a huge accomplishment. We should celebrate letting go more in my opinion.
I love how people take different items from this list. Many of us have some of them figured out but still have to work on the others. I'm still working on the list and it's my list haha
12. They strive to improve. When they err, they admit their mistake and say, ‘I will do better.’
Ooh yes--let's keep adding to the list here in the comments!! Love it Peter :)
13. They view the world as WE THE PEOPLE instead of I, this race, this religion, this gender, this nationality, etc.
Or, perhaps another way of putting it: Recognizing we are all in this together.
(As in… our species won’t survive unless we set aside old patterns of in-group exclusion and competition.)
That works.
This is good info. I was expecting something else entirely. Much of this ties into my New Life. Thanks!
I'm glad it ties into your New Life, I hope that's going well and you're rocking part of the list and paying attention to the ones you're not (like me, I'm still working on it hehe)
Or just keep paying
Yes and thank you ... the pluses definitely outnumber the minuses.

Thanks Charlie! I'd buy that t-shirt hehe
Same!😂
I give negative fucks at this point (evidently)
#11 is my favorite. I LOVE dragging people UP with me when I have somewhere to be. I want everyone to be successful at whatever it is they want, even if we are competitors!
Also...fuck bucket 🪣 is my new favorite saying.
It's really the best move, you turn competitors into helpful colleagues!
I love 'fuck bucket' hehe, let's spread it around.
Yesssss SAME!!
My favorite word alchemist is on Substack!
Thank you for another great article, Robin.
Aww thanks Finn!

Awesome. I make that a goal. It was nice to see that I have some of the 11 already mastered 😉
Thanks Dr Axel! That's what I love about this list, we have some of the items mastered but most people can pick at least one thing to work on. I have more than one I'm working on hehe.
Me too 😉
Thanks for your thoughts and observations, Robin. Hope you have an Unfuckedwith Day! I can't wait to try out that departing salutation, instead of "have a nice day".
Thanks Rob! Although I think to have an Unfuckedwith Day you'd have to be alone on an island hehe
You're right! I underestimated the ability of humans to Notfuckwithy'all! An unpopulated island is a required context!

Learning to human well assuredly is a lifelong affair Rena!
Love this. Excellent observations and perfectly explained.
Thank you Mona! :)

You started it (crab in the bucket)! 😉
I start a lot of things 😆
Okay, I have to stop replying or we’ll look like those two people cackling in the corner at a party. 🎈
But do you finish things? Speaking as a notorious dabbler…*snort*

Love it, Thank You! 🤸
Feeling SUCH affinity with the “Unfuckwithable” crowd! You are my people!! 👏🥰
It's definitely the best crowd to surround yourself with! 🤘
Really great! #7 is where I need the most work! 🤣
I love how people take different items from this list. Many of us have some of them figured out but still have to work on the others. I'm still working on the list and it's my list haha
Thanks
