It certainly used to bother me if I busted a tournament right near/on the bubble but not anymore.
As has already been mentioned in this thread - if you're playing to win and not to simply cash then it won't bother you at all because a min cash isn't the aim. Granted, a min cash is nice but the real money is higher up so I wouldn't wanna play way too tight getting near to the bubble and then leave myself with a stack which is unlikely to give me a chance at making a deep run.

I certainly won't play quite as many marginal hands near the bubble as I may do otherwise but I'm not changing how I play the majority of hands.
If anything, the bubble can be good as it means you can put certain pressure on other players who will want to make the money. You get to handcuff them, essentially.

The only time your play SHOULD change on/near the bubble is in a satellite. Because of the fact that the top x amount of players are all getting exactly the same prize, you may need to play a lot tighter at that point. I've done it before where my stack in a satellite will guarantee me a ticket/seat so I will fold 100% of hands, even AA although I don't like folding it lol
