[Harmony_Starz]

I dont read it but when I do, I feel so angry and just despise all of humnaity, too much of horrible stuff by hellishly stupid people the only news I wanna read is the good news

Its just anxiety and sadness fuel

 

[DaisySkies]

I stopped reading and watching it bc it gives me anxiety (like worse than it ever is...)

 

[magikarp]

nope

 

[Magician]

I do read the news, bc I like to be informed

 

[eclipsoul]

absolutely, i think it's important to know what's going around you. hearing about the palestinian genocide or the invasion of our neighbouring country ukraine is obviously devastating, but it's a normal human reaction to such atrocities and i'd rather feel like that than be uninformed. there are obviously also local news too that i keep up with, but many events here are so ridiculous that you literally just point and laugh...

they make me so angry, millions of people want to help so and yet because of the trash leaders nothings actually happening and this horrific thing hasnt been stopped after this long I truly believed last year that there was no way the world would let smth so horrible continue and that within a few weeks or atleast a month, everything would be fixed
