I am extremely fatigued with the constant negativity (lemmy.world)

I am so fatigued with so much negativity that happens in the world and in my personal life as well. I have become numb to the topics I used to care such as politics, equal rights, environment and so on: I just want my day to end and that's it. I don't think I'm depressed tho (I used to and I know what it is like).

I don't know what to do. What would you suggest doing? Thank you.

if you're going to stay on internet web forums, you need to start curating your subscription lists with only things you 100% enjoy. don't subscribe to any news communities (tech, medical, political etc)

exercise. don't have to lift weights, but taking yourself out for a quick 10 minute walk will do you wonders. you can up the amount of time you walk around once you start feeling better

and, of course, surround yourself with positive people. best piece of advice I've ever gotten was to never let anyone "outnice" me. the scumbags will, of course, take advantage, but they have shown their hand and you can alter your kindness to them accordingly. the genuinely good people, on the other hand, will reciprocate those acts and life gets better for both of you.

good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. you got this! 🙂
