I take taking things too seriously too seriously.
I used to take everything seriously, even myself...always worried and anxious about life itself. Nevertheless, I realized a few weeks ago that things shouldn't be this way.
I'm trying to free myself from these behaviors, because, at the end of the day, I'll be the only one who'll suffer the consequences. One of the worst diseases nowadays is stress.
"Personally I fail to put any worthy weight on things! I really like the cliche of, "Life is too important to take seriously."
This is good, you'll enjoy more your life than millions of people...
This isn't an ironic/sarcastic question, just curious: how seriously do you people take things that happen in life? How stressed are you all, actually?

Achievement is relative anyway. It's likely the one bragging of "lesser achievement" wouldn't find things you see as achievements as anything worth praise.
Bragging though is disgusting, yeah, but that's because of the bragging itself, not the achievement's scale. The key to being "humble" is to not attach much worth to your achievements beyond the achievement's lesser gains, like how exercising is just for building muscle and losing weight as opposed to a sign of "being better than couch parkers". Pride is the root of the problem.
I take nothing seriously besides the consequences of my actions and the actions themselves. Anything else created by any outside factor just seems irrelevant and I find myself being not affected by hardly anything.
Most of the time I'm sloth-like and laid back, others I'm an overachiever to the extreme that wont rest.
