Carelessness, thoughtlessness

[red_sakana]

Can a person be meticulous but inborn careless? Observant but inborn careless? Can a person be forever careless, without lack of care inducing the carelessness? Or cannot be careful even out of own free will? Attention deficit disorder? Or strict inability for spread of attention?  For such a person, can he be careless in certain things but not others, again not induced by lack of care?  

Link with thoughtfulness?
Re-asking the above with thoughtlessness in place of carelessness?

The common sense approach?: someone says a person will be careful with things he thinks are important but careless with things he thinks aren't. And a person may always be careless with things,other than those he thinks are important

Definition:
Care + ful    
Care + less , negilgence


Maybe a spectrum exists of carefulness? On the high end is doctors. On the low end are people with disability in this faculty or are challenged in this faculty or...stupid.

Interesting thoughts.  I think my boyfriend is really careless and thoughtless about things, things which he doesnt deem important.  Sometimes, however, I wonder if he tinks my feelings are as important as his car, or his computer games, because he is pretty careless with my feelings sometimes.

He is thoughtful when it comes to his car, and his sister, but not with his mobile phone or me. I dont know...he is reall intelligent academically but not emotionally.  Maybe it is something to do with emotional intelligence??

A little off topic, but it sounds like you have some negative feelings towards your boyfriend..

On topic, how did you come about with this theory red_sakana.

@red_sakana:
If a person can be born with a character which is either careless, thoughtless or both?
No one can be born thoughless, because thinking is a phenomenon inherent in a human being.
Thinking is processing the information which you get from your senses - if consciously or unconsciously.

I don't think a person is inborn careless. Care at least for yourself comes with the drive of survival.

In my case, talking about carelessness and thoughtlessness, everything depend on how you feel, which sort of emotions possess you. I'm quite emotional, and  the stress is my enemy, which always makes me careless and thoughtless, it freezes my mind, though I draw all my attention to my work.

When I'positive, doesn't matter what is important or not, I've got a feeling that I'm the attention man that keeps everying under control!!!!

My verdict: live beeing positive, have a goal in life and you forget what carelessness and thoughtlessness is!!!
