How do you say "don't take it to heart" in Italian? I think it could be translated as "fregatene". Any ideas?

fregatene would fit more either don't care or even don't give a .... because it's a little harsh.
How do you say "don't take it to heart" in Italian?
You could say:
- Non prendertela (closest non-literal translation);
- Lascia perdere (let go), and
- Non importa (it doesn't matter)
Well, we say non prendertela a cuore
prendere a cuore
Interessarsi attivamente di qualcosa, curarsene in modo fattivo.
Fregatene is in my opinion a bit too colloquial and slightly rude compared to the English expression.

You are not stealing anything. Rather, why this is not the accepted answer? May 10, 2016 at 13:07
