"Oh well", or, " Whatever": which mentality do you have when it comes to not stressing about something?

[Anonymous]

How do you deal with something? How do you prevent something from stressing you out? It can be anything.

To me, "Oh well", represents acceptance, albiet sometimes reluctantly. Although, some people are lucky enough to be so understanding.

Whereas, "Whatever", is more direct and shoves the issue out of mind. Some people can use this as a wall, but it also tells me they know what they do and do not want. Something very admirable.

Which ever one, both have the same goal: peace of mind.

So which one are you? Have your own ways to deal with the little things in life?

Oh well.

Whatever.

Other.

I'm big on generally not dealing with things head-on. As in I'll more often than not just decide that trying to 'fix it' is way more hassle than it's worth, therefore it's not worth my while to spend time and effort on that.

I guess more of a 'whatever'. I'll admit that it's not an ideal situation but will minimize the significance. Leave it on the back-burner.

Bit of both. I try and lean towards 'oh well' though. Kind of the idea too that whatever it is is almost never permanent, so i'll get past it at some point

It really depends on what exactly is stressing me out lol, I range from whatever, oh well, what the hell is this crap !, silence lol etc. Silly things that stress me out like siblings fighting is more around the whatever area, while serious things like the possibility of losing my house I hone in on and take quite seriously.

I am probably in between A and B - I accept things I cannot change and move to put them out of my mind or work my way around them.

I'm the 'whatever'.
