There's no need to stop caring. And clearly you do care. What you need to do is stop feeling responsible for things you have no power over. Because that's what's stressing you out.
Change your perspective. Instead of focusing on the things that are wrong that you can't fix, focus on the things that you did fix, or that you have a good chance of fixing in the near future. They may be small things, but at least you can leave the world a little better you found it every day.
- lavventura 4y ago" What you need to do is stop feeling responsible for things you have no power over." I believe that's a wrong mentality, hence that's actually how my Ph.D. advisior does to me and its pretty painful on my end. My advisor does exactly your advice as he just stop caring about me and focus on his projects success. Probably he thinks that "I have no power over my student's success or process so I just stop being responsible about it to be not stress out.". I think you have power over to help others and communicate the way you feel about your situation right away.
- munch117 4y agoMy advice was specifically for mouzogu. I wouldn't necessarily give the same advice to your advisor. Your advisor has the power to help you, yet chooses not to. That's a different issue.
