I very much feel this. It's why I often keep myself offline more often these days, and why I left social media almost two years ago now.

Heh...yeah....I know what you mean....

*hugs*

Social media is a carcinogen made to keep you locked into an algorithm of misery and infighting. There are things to rightfully complain about, but no one is saying anything constructive or transformative online. Going outside is really the best option.

Absolutely

Social media algorithms will deliberately feed you things that make you upset because making you angry is better for engagement than making you happy.

*hug
Nothing good or bad lasts forever, that’s the best thing about time. It’s just waiting that’s the hard part.

*hugs* I feel it too

*hugs* As my dad sagely points out "this too will pass". Don't give up, cause it will eventually get better. It has to.

;w;... I am very much feeling this...

One of the great things about algorithms, is that most of them *will* adjust to your interests, so it’s good to tailor them to your own likes. I personally think taking regular breaks from social media is important though. You can keep in touch with the news once or twice a week, but I’d limit myself to a few days at most.

There is still joy in this world if you look for it. I personally ignore anyone who complains about very minor things (like “why is my halftime show in spanish!”). It is going to happen, we all know it, let them be them and you be you. We truly do make our own happiness and I hope your near future is filled with it :3

*hugs* I feel this too, and try to keep hoping for tomorrow.

*shares blanket pile*

Ooof I get that. (Hugs!)

As Billy Joel sang in his song Keeping the Faith: "The good ol' days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems"

Much hugs and love Superstar, I know this feeling, but I also will say that I do my best to spread happiness wherever I can, to everyone I can. Sure, I have stressors and am not ignorant to the sadness the world has right now, but I also know others have it worse than I, so I do what I can to ease the pain, the burden and the sadness, even if it's just for a little while. ♥

I would make a great Juror because I have NOT been keeping track of anything going on at the moment...

Too much screaming going on...

*hugs you and sighs* "I know this pain...I had that mind set when I was in Iraq, it kept me alive but, at the same time it depressed me so much"

I'd like to suggest something that I've found to help boost my mood in a major way. That is, VR Chat. Join some music event, off a friend, this Friday. Yes, it's Friday the 13th. Doesn't matter. You should have some fun somewhere in the busy schedule. :D

I hope that we can all get through these times by sticking together

Ouch I feel this... While humanity has overcome various primal tendencies in its rise; there still are many that just seem too hard coded into us that I'm having more and more doubts we'll ever truly overcome. Many being the roots to a lot of the junk going on today.

*Sighs*

When the dawn seems forever lost, look for love in the light of the stars.

*hugs tight*

I often feel like I ran into one of those isekai concepts of dying and waking up in someone else's life and body... except its just *my* life and body, and I don't think 'isekai' is the right word for the kind of world I've found myself in. Everything has stopped making sense. Evil people abound and all seem hellbent on dragging everything and everyone around them down. People talk about 'descending into some Mad Max or zombie apocalypse' like it would be the worst possible future, but I'm just sitting here watching greedy people drive up prices and sell citizenship to my home country and demolish landmarks to build a monument to grift and if I looked at it too long I think I would lose it entirely.

No doom-scrolling! I bite the device of any cute sweeties who do it. And hug them. <3

I feel ya *hugs*
I'd say even if it doesn't seem enough at first, a little spark of happiness can still bring some light in the darkness.

**soft hugs **

I'm sorry for not being around to try to send you some kind words.... Just got outta the hospital a few days ago and am still getting my new computer up and going.
Yes it's been rough but please don't be unhappy.... please!

It will get better sweet one. As sure as my own foot is healing, it will get better hon.
Please don't give in to sadness... please.

*hugs*

i try to hope, one day people who actually care about- and serve the people will be in office and undo the damage corrupt people have done, at least some of it... that one day the wars will end, that one day this great depression will be over, and life in this society will become reasonable and affordable again. when healing can be done to the lives of so many, especially those who suffered great hardships cuz of al this...

maybe one day, soon i hope.
until then we just do what we can...

Just don't touch any social media site, not even with a ten foot pole. YouTube also is genuinely awful and only feeds you with drama content. Barring few spaces (such as FA funnily enough, despite it being far from perfect) the internet just ain't cool no more, if it isn't the sites purposefully feeding trash to their users then its the users themselves who simply have no etiquette. Small, gated communities seem to be the future, if you'd like to keep your sanity while using the internet that is lol. Reality is cringe, let us delve deeper into the creative arts as a refuge from it all
