i think depression is increasing because of the internet. we are constantly bombarded by how shitty humanity is, and even though there's a lot of positive stuff out there too, it is drowned out by all the shittyness. personally i get so depressed everytime i read steemit posts, that i'm not even willing to create quality content for it anymore. and i know that it's mostly all in my mind. but it's hard to ignore though.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I understand how you feel. It's what made me almost totally abandon the negativity found on mainstream platforms like Facebook and Youtube. Just echo chambers of negative crap. In fact, I abandoned mainstream TV and news for the same reason many many years ago. That's more negative than even the internet.
And that negativity is an inculcation that's been happening for generations, so it makes sense that people bring that negative conditioning with them.
All the more reason to counteract it by making high-quality positive transformational content ourselves. Please don't stop. Do more.
Also, find out who it is specifically that is being unconstructively negative on your feed and then 'unfollow' them here on Steemit.
Anyway, thanks for sharing here.
Blessings to you
