I am so fatigued with so much negativity that happens in the world and in my personal life as well. I have become numb to the topics I used to care such as politics, equal rights, environment and so on: I just want my day to end and that’s it. I don’t think I’m depressed tho (I used to and I know what it is like).

I don’t know what to do. What would you suggest doing? Thank you.

    I for one am somewhat optimistic about the future. Not just mine, but humanity as a whole. Sure, things are pretty shit for many people right now, but I believe it’ll get better.

    But optimism doesn’t make for very interesting headlines or click bait.

    So when negativity seems to be the only thing you see, look elsewhere. Hell, even look past the negativity - You’ll always find someone doing good in the midst of it all, simply because it’s the right thing to do.

      same. my optimistic comes from contextualizing things… which almost nobody does anymore and the media purposefully does not.

      i also remember a time when not everyone thought their life was a personal tragedy of epic proportions or who personalized every world event as some deep personal trauma. life doesn’t have to be this way… folks just choose to live it this way.
