You are telling something to someone then after finishing, he/she replied "I don't care." or "I'm not asking."
I myself am annoyed everytime someone tells me that phrases.
What do you think? How do you react with that?

Mindless remarks. The person most likely just wants to annoy you with those remarks. I just ignore those and find a way to shut the person off when i got a chance. :)

Yeah. That comment would be useful. But the person involved here is my GF.

My personal opinion is that people who use such phrases are the ones that usually care and want information, but they try to hide behind such sentences as they do not want to show their insecurities, so i do not feel bad, when i see people suing these sentences, instead i feel pity for them and try to talk or discuss a little more until i understand why they are saying things like that. It is a little difficult at first once you get a hang of it its faily easy. try it!

Note: Those phrases are said not in a light manner.
The idea of having rejected annoy me by someone who replies that to me. I mean, you have said something and the reply you'll get is "I DONT CARE"?

Hi Shockrayz,
If someone were to tell me that (and they have) then I take the hint. I make a little mental note to myself to avoid talking to that person on a personal level. I won't share any info that isn't asked of me or go out of my way to offer up any. To me, they are making it clear that my thoughts do not matter to them and that is fine with me. Personally, I think it is kind of rude and I can't imagine saying that to anyone but I know there are people that do.

A lot of the time, these people know deep down that you are right. Hoever, they simply do not want to hear what you are saying. It is just that simple all things considered. These people obviously care at first given the fact that they listened allt he way through. I would think that if they truly did not care, they would have just brushed you off immediately.
However, they did not get a response that they wanted. So they storm off like a child throwing a tantrum after being denied sweets. It is rather frustrating to be certain. Yet, it is just one of those things in life you have to deal with. It is extremely frustrating and it makes me want to pull my hair out. Still, I've learned to live with it. These people are rather frustrating however.

Being offended about something or anything is a choice. Its actually up to us if wanted to be offended or not. Every thing depends on how you are going to deal with it. We can choose not to be offended or we can choose to be offended. No matter what we choose, we should think about the consequences.

Upon hearing those phrases I might be surprised at first but since it is in poor taste, humor sets in because I will see that person as shallow and uneducated. When that happens I just leave the person alone to talk to himself.

The way that person responded to you was either 1 of 2 things, impatient or just flat out rude. here are a few scenario's to work through, pick a good choice:
+ if they were busy or for what ever reason just needed something to get done, then it's not really understandable but plausible, maybe tell them the story at a later time.
+ If the person in question is like a manager or teacher and you were giving excuses to them, they really don't care, and its time to just do as they say.
+ If it's something that's been brought up before and keeps happening, like a breakup, with the same guy 3 or more times, i suppose I wouldn't care either... stop telling them it gets old fast.
+ If this is a brand new thing, and you have never told it to them before, if you don't know them at all, and it's something that you would never tell anyone except this one person, and they say ' i don't care' then they don't care, don't talk to them about your personal life. Usually these kinds of people like talking about themselves... it happens
anyways there are my suggestions, hope you can use them.
