Sometimes when I’m not doing too great and see loads of shit during my daily doomscrolling, I can get very synical, harsh and bold. When I get several downvotes, it can be a sign I’m in this negative depressing mood and I need to light up and be more open to others. It usually takes a while as first I fee like explaining myself making things worse, but in the end it let’s me think “hey dude, stop, take some distance. You’re not like this and your behavior is pulling you further down. Do something fun instead, stay away from comment sections and put away your phone completely and meet some friends or something”.

It’s a struggle sometimes.

Upvotes always help with the short endorphins boost, even though I don’t want to admit it. I got rid of all social media except YouTube and Lemmy. Yes, I’m I search of approval, again, not what I’m proud of. Because I want to get rid of this addiction and doomscrolling.
