1 year agoI am very similar and I agree with this, specially with the limited emotional energy. It is physically/mentally not possible to handle all the bad shit in the world; I only focus on those around me. For example, I only have one homosexual friend, but I never speak about sexual topics anyway so that never comes up. I will never take part in a gay pride parade, but I will also never stop it or oppose it. This goes on for many topics as well.
So yeah, fairly neutral on such topics, and prefer to stay neutral. Even for topics I don’t agree on, I still try not to pick a side. “But you should be pro-X and pro-Y because of Z!”, no, take my neutrality as a sign that I am not against your existance.
My new glasses had a blue light filter on them and I didn’t know it. I can definitely say that I have an easier time falling asleep / having my eyes feel not strained because of it. For a year or so by now, I turn on the night light on my computer anyway, and that helps too. I am a programmer so I stare at the screen the whole day. It doesn’t matter if it is placebo because I do feel the benefit and that’s all I care about.
