Such a self-care way of living, truly not everything requires my non-expert opinion on it

newdnerd.bsky.social•73 days ago

My dad always said that opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they frequently stink. 😂

nixostorme.bsky.social•73 days ago

So true, people don't need to drop their pants every time someone else farts

Thanks for saying it Nixo, it will be better if we start thinking carefully about which fights we can fight and which ones we can't.

And this is why I just post gifs/memes/emojis and go about my day 🤷🏽‍♂️💁🏽‍♂️

During the Will Smith slap whatever, there was so much discourse. I wondered what my opinion was & then realized: I didn't have to have one. Since then, I've been free.

"What you think about Biden pardoning Hunter?" I don't care. "Is murdering a CEO wrong?" no, but also I don't care if it is.

I started doing this after 2016 and never looked back. Tho the angry rants sneak in every once in a while lol

nixostorme.bsky.social•73 days ago

Somethings are worth having angry rants about! It's learning not every stimulus deserves a rant, or even more than a few moment's thought

coffeelamb.bsky.social•73 days ago

I think you can have opinions on everything you want to, you just need to realize not all opinions are meant to be shared & discussed online.

"What do you think about Biden pardoning Hunter?"

Girl I'm getting a blowjob right now, leave me alone.

Lmao fr fr

Great advice!

I also compartmentalize my media consumption quite a bit more these days. I have my fun social account here. A separate news and politics account when I want to engage in that sphere. A different feed for gaming news. A curated set of subreddits. This is all so I can be more mindful.

nixostorme.bsky.social•73 days ago

I totes have a side account for politics so I can take a break if I need. Even if politics seeps on to my main feed & I do discuss political things here when I think they deserve attention, but it's not wrong to want a space from reality when we don't have a choice in the matter most the time.

It’s a super power!

rytism.bsky.social•73 days ago

Its also okay to reply " I don't have enough knowledge of that to have formed an opinion" if your ever asked

pupjoke.bsky.social•73 days ago

Something i am working on🫠 burnt out, imposter syndrome and my paranoia anxiety has gotten so bad.

nixostorme.bsky.social•73 days ago

it’s hard not to! especially when so many things invoke emotions. but once you give yourself that break, helps you relax and focus your opinions on the more important things

pupjoke.bsky.social•73 days ago

Oh definitely not, i just sometimes let other peoples words get to me and i go at it, then im like "why am i here commenting to this stranger about something that doesnt matter" learning to scroll past has really cut my stress down lmao

coldbrewski2.bsky.social•73 days ago

100% this 👌🏼 it should be a pop up window before going online. dark days are coming and I have been trying to focus on real life and avoid screaming into the void.

crimson713.bsky.social•73 days ago

People also need to learn when to just not speak. If you’re not educated on something just be like “I don’t know enough about this topic to contribute” I do it all the time but I am so happy

dangotan.bsky.social•73 days ago

Especially stuff you can’t control, a lot of it is distraction

nixostorme.bsky.social•73 days ago

There's going to be so many purposeful distractions the next few years. trump is going to say something outlandish that has no long term effect, leading to discourse and news cycle, while republicans pass the most draconian laws out of the limelight. we gotta quit falling for it.

My mantra lately has been "not all information needs you to know it." Shits gonna happen whether I read the article and post a screed or not, might as well save energy for when it's going to be actually effective

etgsimon.bsky.social•73 days ago

It's also tough and very important to learn that some people just have brain worms and it's not worth the energy to argue with them. The only change that can happen when arguing with them is a change in your blood pressure
