It is in our human tendency to think and then over-think about any stuff going in and around our lives. In spite of every pacifying book or quote suggesting us that thinking way too much is just a futile activity. That it is stupid and wastes our precious time immensely. But we the humans try not to learn from them and keep on procrastinating. It is not that the activity of procrastination is all negative, but there are some areas which attract more useless thoughts from us than they deserve.
A list of 6 pointless attention seeking things, are worth a brief look because we should know where we are wasting our time unconditionally.
1.IMPRESSING OTHERS
Why? Why do we have to impress everyone around us? Are they so very important? Is everyone one of them is your boss? Not possible. Don’t you get annoyed when others try to do this? So let us start living to improve ourselves for our own sakes and not to make others think highly of us. World is over flooded with population and we don’t even like most of our known ones. Therefore time has come when trying to impress other people should just stop being a natural human trait.
2.ON POPULAR GOSSIPS
Famous celebrities, sports stars, television actors, all of them are in no way related to you, but if anything happens in their lives, it automatically becomes a matter of concern for you. Lame is an understatement for us then. Getting influenced is one thing, but being nosy and wasting your time on some un-connected topics is just stupid. Lil’ Wayne, when asked if he was concerned that people may look to him on how to live, he said: “If you need a rapper to tell you how to live your life, then maybe you ain’t got no life.”
3. HIDING YOUR FLAWS
Ironically, it’s our flaws and vulnerabilities that make us exceptional and endearing towards others. Revealing the real side of yours to someone includes sharing your flaws as well. So why try so much to hide them. Instead of that, we all must personally acknowledge them and let them be open for suggestions by others. No one is perfect. There is always scope for improvement. Let the potholes be exposed, who knows someone might come and fill them for you.
4. WHOSE AT FAULT
We all know how our blame games can become so taxing. Not one is willing to accept his/her mistakes at once. It takes numerous arguments, hour long thought processes, and then some more arguments to make us realize that it is too late to apologize. Result of which is just pure wastage of time, energy and relations. One should just try to come out of their ego closets and face their apology expecting counterparts. It is not so difficult, seriously.
5. BEING RIGHT

“The man who knows everything learns nothing.” World has excess of knowledge and no man can know everything single thing. Let’s accept this fact and let go off the urge to always be correct. One cannot be right all the time. Sometimes we are wrong and our mistakes only will make the room for further learning. So try to be wrong about stuff a little more often.
6. BEING OFFENDED
It is natural to feel offended. But to keep yourself in that particular mode for way too long is something we should avoid. As we know that it is okay to feel bad, another thing which is also okay to do is to move on. Being the difference between getting upset about an insult and simply laughing it off is what getting offended is.
