Through examples of twisted apathy, Ezra explores the role of self-confidence in the lives of others, and how such a concept can be conflicting, yet therapeutic. Trapped between genuine inner feelings and societal expectations of what is worthy of receiving a fuk, the individual that Ezra speaks of is clearly on the verge of a personal revolution. Until “[his or her] last fuk is truly given,” this person will be constantly giving fuks, regardless of whether or not the fuks are worth the distress that they involve. A person’s “desire 2 not give a fuk” is a sign of blooming confidence, because it shows the prioritization of one’s own feelings above outside pressures. However, how long can an individual push away such personal feelings before euphoria is within reach? Ezra notes that the end of fuk-giving results in this “wave of silent euphoria,” and presents this as a relieving, cleansing experience. For some, this may be true, but what about those who feel most comfortable forming strong opinions and giving lots of fuks? If euphoria only comes after reaching an ultimate level of apathy, like Ezra says, are the genuine fuk-givers of the world destined for endless emotional turmoil?
