Do you ever think about the insane standards that were expected to live up to and that’s why we all have chronic anxiety? because I think about that at least once a day

I scrapped my internet persona a few years ago, and the clarity it has offered me has been so healing. The standards I didn't realize I was obsessively holding onto were draining my entire being, and I'm just now emerging from hibernation.
i think about the fact that our dumb monkey brains have evolved to about the level of understanding of pencil on paper and yet we have these screens and constant flow of information pretty much daily… like YEAH, current conditions makes sense lol
I’ve started thinking about it in terms of turning down or limiting the scope of care, not the level of care. Sometimes you really do only have time for yourself. And that’s perfectly fine. It becomes a problem when someone goes too long without realizing how/why they need to care for themselves.
Like you say, I think it is important to choose what to care about, and to be honest, I am not very good at it. I found the Mark Manson book to be surprisingly valuable and entertaining in this regard, though 🙂
