literally everything is like "breaking news everything sucks" nowadays
but if i dont look at it it makes me feel like im not getting informed, not to mention fomo that i get from getting exposed by insane conspiracy theories arent helping me either
does anyone experience this or is my x timeline just fucked
governments grant people sport to distract them from the horrible realities of politics
in a similar way find something to interestmaxx in and use that to tone down the volume of 2026 slop content that you’re getting rn, because the world looks like fpx 2026 prospects if im being honest and finding something to dull that out does help a lot
maybe get into sports or other esports or hell even go to a gym for the first time in your life
everyone is experiencing this whether it’s from social or mainstream media so it’s up to themselves to find a way to deal with problems completely out of our control lol
how r u feeling abt the oil shortage and stuff
my x timeline is filled with "east asian and asean country is literally over cuz of oil and lng shortage" sentiment and im starting to get depressed cuz of it
not getting into politics since I'm gonna get perma'd for that shit
js know that asia is not fully cooked
there is still hope
you just have to remember nothing ever happens.
the rich and powerful have too much capital for the world to fail. they have a vested interest in printing themselves money, but the money printer needs to remain on for that to happen. if the world ends tomorrow, they throw away their advantages.
Low-key going through a similar phase. Just know there is nothing you can do about what's happening (assuming you're not rich or powerful, you are on here 24/7) and just die inside is all I can come up with.
dont get news from social media and start using source you can trust. I'm using almost no social media and feel like i'm not missing out on anything
yea its mostly fomo thats keeping me on the social media, like what if the conspiracy accounts on x are spitting facts and all the 1M people on r/conspiracy are actually onto something
Look at the positive side of life and stop using social media. It’s designed to grab your attention by leaving you shocked or enraged.
my youtube recommendation is not as fucked as my x timeline so i might as well stay on youtube for a while
You don't care about my post, you just wanted to bump your own thread :(
Meanie😿😿
As others have said, get rid of social media and use something like ground news if you want to be “informed” but if ur mental is f’d because of it, best to take a break all together and focus on yourself. I recommend “Power of now” book. Surround yourself with something positive, it’ll only be a matter of time till you start thinking positively. It starts with getting off of vlr chat lmao
nah vlr will gonna be last social that ill quit
i really have to thank enigma for making the no politics rule it feels like its the only sane social media now
Oh yea I feel you on that brother, that’s why I messaged it in the first place, I love Valorant esports. But we also need communication outside of a screen. Read “you’re not listening” book, it shows how a text doesn’t encompass actual raw emotion and thinking when forming relationships
I quit social media except for vlr (🥀) and it's great
I'm a little TOO out of the loop now tho
i saw someone recommending the current event portal on wikipedia, its pretty good for getting an overview of what is happening in the world right now
theres not much written about regional current events and stuff so you have to have other source of news tho
It’s sweet that everybody is replying to this one person cause this isn’t a rare thought, everybody self conscious, we just the first to admit it. Everybody reading this thread and feeling the same way, delete all socials (YouTube and meta literally getting sued cause of it) and watch movies, live presently, read “power of now” book, that’s all, cheers, <3 valo. Throw away your phone and actually sit and watch something. If you don’t like reading, get high and watch Ted Lasso, trust u level up. Once you escape the YouTube /social media vortex, you see things much differently. Also read “you’re not listening” very good book, talks about the loneliness epidemic caused by blue screens
YT is not even bad if you turn off reels, I feel that is the only "social media" you shouldn't get rid off completely
I agree, that’s why I only have it on website. You shouldn’t have an account on it cause you don’t want YouTube’s algorithm get u sucked in. Use it for finding content that you’ll need or enjoy. It helps not having the app on ur phone and just the website. You can also have an account but you have to restart and get content that’ll benefit you and not fry ur brain. The algorithm works very well with finding content you are looking for, even if it’s very anti social lmao
Yeah long-form video essays are really enjoyable to watch. I wish there was a way to disable shorts.
When u find ur self swiping, close the app and find something else to do. Shorts are made to be addicting. Usually, shorts consist of just movie clips or show. So whenever that does happen, just switch to that show and watch it in full, or partly

On desktop I use a browser extension and my phone I have modded APK with those functions turn off by default
ty for all the recommendations, im not really doing anything productive in my free time tn so i might as well read actual books for once lol
It also unironically makes u better at games if u follow the advice. It’s why babybay is doing so good yet everybody on forum clowns on him. Confidence and fun will make u win a lot more.
X is really bad yeah
but the world actually sucks so the news aren't exactly wrong
you just have to stay away from negative social media
For me, I just don’t care about the news. I hear about it but I just never go and try to understand what it is about. Just remove urself from caring about it and even if it is infront of your face, it won’t matter.
idk its just really hard to ignore everything, also i thought singapore has military drafts
that doesn’t mean I have to know everything happening in the world. Whether I care about it or not, it will continue. It is just better to not care as much and realize that in a world with over 8billion people, there will be alot of horrible things that happen
i feel for you man but the world genuinely sucks rn and at this point it actually does affect my daily life (gas prices for example), me personally i choose to be informed but twitter doesnt seem like the best place for that with all the fake news, hate and grifts
Twitt0r and TikTok is enough to ruin a generation brain
Outsourcing and finding valid news articles is so harder now a days
Even the current war I thought it wasn’t real until I had to search it up
Just buy a Nokia and if you want to get the news buy a newspaper. Realistically, the best thing you can do to improve the world is trying to be a good person to everyone, including yourself.
Read the greeks.
get urself a good professional newspaper and just read it, deals with the fomo but some actual professionals worked on it
