I would rather know a little, honestly. Because what pisses me off about information today is that I don’t really know who’s value I am to take and even be skeptical towards. So I’d rather know little.
I’m doing my best to do exactly what you do. For over a decade I’ve been glued to the news and it leaves me anxious and bitter and wanting to retreat from society. It’s hard. Feels like there’s some sort of dopamine addiction, but for anxiety? I can’t stop looking away from the trainwreck.
Mind you, i still want to retreat from society :)
But also, my father died 4 years ago, my mother just two months ago. One learns to “not give a shit”. They where 62 and 61 respectively. I’m 43.
Life’s too short to worry about things you can’t control. And since i can’t control anything on the news, i stopped watching, and stopped caring.
I CAN control how i handle those around me. So i try to be as respectful and as friendly as i can be to those close by.
