Sitting here with my covfefe, watching the sun rise and the ducks waddle across the yard -mallards, two makes one female..you all are my news now (noteables). No more tv news for me.
Make it a good day anons!
Don’t be too jealous..me too in exactly 16 minutes… :)
I can answer this one:
-
How is it possible that people that are awake are not depressed as fuck while knowing the truth?

For me, I compartmentalize. I realize that many things are beyond my control so I make the best of life for myself and my family hoping that our deeds and positivity will radiate outward.
The internet is great and connects people (like right now) but it also brings bad things and ideas to your doorstep, things in the past that you would have no idea would have existed and therefore not affected you.
I hope this makes sense. I’m on a phone and wish I could help more as this is really an area of expertise for me..counseling field. Just remember we care but immediate/real life relationships are the key. :)
Like me, you sound like an empath. It’s hard to turn that off, but you shouldn’t as it makes us better people. Kind of like a super-sponge soaks up all the bad things out there, we do too. Hang in there anon. Talking (typing) can be helpful so I’m glad you’re getting it out there.
As someone whose been in the anti google, FB, etc for the past 12 yrs or so, yes it’s like banging your head against the wall. I agree. I try to lead by example but that’s all you can do. People want gratification and validation. It takes a strong self assured person not to join the crowd on social media. The pull to have one’s ego stroked is really strong and I’ve seen that it’s like a drug for folks with low self esteem. This is the only online presence I have…not much time either.
Ps- all the Dutch I’ve met have been great people. Keep on keeping on :). I need to get back to my work, a psychotherapy consult, of all things.
Dank je :)
