Lula is such an inspiration to the world. A great progressive.

I belive in standing on your square. I post something because I belive in it, and at the end of the day it’s just text on a screen. Like other ppl posted you aren’t obligated to response.

I’d have gotten to a place where I don’t despair any more. Like, I care very deeply about the climate but I have resolved it in myself that it’s not getting better. That’s a pessimistic view, but just following the news and hearing about the extreme weather and the impacts happening now, I don’t even want to think about what’s it’s going to be like in 10,20 years.

I know going forward that my whole life is going to be affected by the climate, and I have accepted that it’s going to get worse. I have gone through a major depressive doomer stage before and realize that’s not productive or beneficial to my mental health.

I have gotten to a place as Micheal Dowd, puts it “post-doom”.I’m going to approach each day as a miracle and with all the loving kindness I can muster, even if things look bleak.

I want to say, you are not alone in your experience. Millions of people are dealing with social withdrawal. Alot of ppl misunderstands and assumes it’s a choice when its often not. There are numerous reasons be they - environmental, Social, and personally that leads people to that situation. This phenomena is global and the numbers of ppl across the world socially withdrawing is startling. The rates of social dislocation, loneliness and disconnection are at sky-high rates as well. So this is a global social crisis that is happening.

I’m not going to give cliche solutions but I think checking out Dr. K’s videos from HealthyGammer gives alot of insights on Psychology and mental health for today’s digital age, so check them out, could be insightful. He made a video on this topic called 25 year old loner

This is a major problem that isn’t being addressed. So many ppl are suffering and this issue isn’t enough respect it deserves. To help people socially withdrawing the answer to the problem isn’t just getting out there as you said, but adressing other underlying mental health problems.

Edit: Grammar, spelling

Yeah exactly ppl need to start standing lemmy up on its own. Let Lemmy grow into something new and exciting. I kinda feel it’s just growing pains of a new site. And it’s going to take years for it to grow into it own.

It’s the social aspect that is pretty fun, filled the void caused by Tumblr nuking NSFW stuff. I had both a swf and nswf account if that makes a difference, I didn’t use reddit just for porn…

Qgis, Firefox! Comes top of mind

Just for the porn tbh.

That’s a legitimately good name!

Yeah, I have noticed this too. I try to keep my teeth in good health and when I started flossing more regularly, I’d noticed I barely have any breeding. I’d bought an water flossing to try it so it become more of daily rather than twice a week type of affair.

Yes, very disorienting

yeah, I feel the best way to minimize these feelings is blocking out these messages. I was reading a book by Thic Nhat Hanh and he was talking about being mindful of what you consume because how it has impact on your health. If you consume intoxicants and harmful media it would impact you, so try to cultivate better and more nourishing consumption.

I and feel like it’s the same thing with simple living being taken over by social media, is the reality and there’s not much you can do to change the state of things on social media but can cultivate what you are consuming. It’s not the best way to approach this but, it’s just the we are living a zeitgeist that people care more about appearances and stuff rather than practicing a lifestyle.

I wouldn’t think to much about it to be honest.
