Yeah it’s wild, I’ve had to learn that just because something seems exceptionally obvious to me doesn’t mean it’s at all obvious to others. There’s a lot of pressure to stay in these environments and it takes a LOT of self awareness to pull yourself out of it, if you can even detect that you are in fact in a situation that’s only making it worse. Like any addiction, it takes time, and it takes enough misery for you to take action. Hopefully by that point you haven’t etched a bunch of online nonsense on some bullets and murdered someone and instead went and touched some grass.
What’s the chicken and egg between terminally online and social anxiety, or is one just enabling the other constantly

My partner got a little plaque for her desk that says “don’t believe everything you think”, and I felt like that was a succinct way to put it
