"nothing bad happened to me that I can tell so it must not be a real thing."
I mean, I look at it this way.
We know cigarettes cause cancer, sure. Maybe people didn't know long ago, but you could always choose whether or not to smoke them. Even when smoking was rampant, there were always those that just didn't want to, whether or not they could tell its effects.
I can't choose whether or not to have microplastics in my blood so I try not to worry about whether or not it will affect me.
There are so many things in this world that we can choose that it doesn't really make sense worrying about what we can't.
On the flip side, the world found out there was a big hole developing in the ozone layer, determined that it was a Bad Thing(tm), figured out the cause, and came together to reverse it for the betterment of humanity. Raising awareness of the problems with CFCs was a big part of that. Did each individual with a can of hair spray or a freon-based air conditioner have to make the conscious choice to select different products? No, but public sentiment and market pressure eventually became overwhelming and global accord was realized. (greatly simplified for brevity).
