First time was when I was in my late teens. I traveled a lot so giving a shit wasn't advantageous as I'd be leaving in a couple months, things were glorious. Then I landed in one place and it was a shock when I realized I'd been there for a year, then five, and then started giving a shit about what was going on around me and got actively involved in my local community. After being here over a decade I've seen so much of the dark side of people that earlier this year I found all my fucks were gone and I had none left to give. Since I came to that realization, things have been much better. Less stress, more focus on what matters to me and far less life maintenance.

Mark Manson has a great article on The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, I highly recommend it.
