English term or phrase: just rolled off of his soulders

One day Whitney came home very upset. Most of the world wouldn't be able to tell if Whitney was troubled. He always seemed laid back, as though everything just rolled off of his soulders, and he seldom cried. I'd come to notice signs of distress--a blank look, distracted, pacing and talking to himself.

Explanation:
Setuju dengan penjelasan Willmatter. Untuk terjemahannya, bagaimana kalau:
Dia selalu terlihat tenang, seperti tidak ada yang membebaninya, dan dia jarang menangis.
Saya memilih ungkapan tanpa beban karena kalau everything rolls off of his shoulders kan berarti bahunya tidak perlu menanggung beban apa-apa ;)

idiomatic expression

Explanation:
In English, the expression "XXX rolls off of someones shoulders" means that "XXX doesn't bother them" or "They are not disturbed/flustered by XXX". In this case, it means that nothing ever bothers Whitney, he never seems to be bothered by anything (events, people etc.). HTH.
