Comment on Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?

Yes, it’s tiring. A lot of people and communities on various platforms are cultivating negativity, focusing on bad things. Even a simple meme about a cat can produce a comment section dominated by replies about how dangerous cats are for wild animals. Okay? Can we have a laugh because the cat did something silly?

I read that our brains are more likely to react to negativity, as that was a defensive mechanism in the past. But today, the internet can mess up our stimulus very, very badly. I don’t even open most of these posts you’ve mentioned, I ignore them like white noise. You can’t constantly bathe in that information and be mentally fine.
