Does anyone else get stressed when thinking about the bad things that are going on in the world right now? (1 Viewer)

I've wanted to ask this question before but I was a bit hesitant about it, but I finally decided to ask and see what you guys think. Now that I'm a grown adult I just keep seeing stuff about the bad things that are happening in world, especially right now. It just seems like there's always a fight against things such as racial prejudice, inequality, politics, plus a lot of other things. (Just using these things as an example btw) ^

Ngl just thinking about it makes me feel so anxious and I don't know what to do about it. I'm scared of what could possibly happen in the future. It just feels like the world is going to keep getting worse

Anyone else get anxious thinking about these things? How do you cope with it?

I think that people are fighting for changes is actually positive. People are sick of being blinded by others are opening their mouths, trying to get the justice that they deserve. I see it as a positive thing. To change something you have to give up something else - the comfort of "not caring" of living their lives as they have always had with their heads down and their mouth shut.

there will always be hardship but I think considering what had been happening before ... we are pretty lucky.

I wouldn't say that I get stressed exactly but it can be upsetting seeing certain articles and wishing the world wasn't the way it was but you can't really get caught up in what you can do yourself as you're only one person and in some situations the biggest help you can be is just not contributing to a problem and trying to stop it from occurring where you can.

The harsh reality of some situations like if you take racism as an example none of us on here will probably be alive to see the day when it isn't as much of a problem as it's a problem in different ways in most places and it'll likely take generations to get to a point where it's a very small minority at best so you can only do what you can.

I agree with her. If you have the solution, why worry? And if you can't do anything, why worry? That said however, it's sometimes very hard to put that into practice.

I do get a bit stressed about it but I'm good at distracting myself with useless stuff. Not going into detail about what stresses me out because I don't want people to get even more stressed out about things they haven't thought about.

Well I don't get stressed but it is upsetting yes, makes me want to leave the country permanently but then there's no perfect place and every country has their own problems, so what to do lol.
Best we can do is look out for ourselves and our friends/family (insert Dominic Toretto meme) and keep making the right decisions when and where we can.

I think I'm more worried how the world will look like when Nature will strike back

It is upsetting but I don't really get stressted out by it since my stress meter is already filled by other stuff
