One more time for the people in the back ...
If someone posts something that you're not interested in or don't like, or that triggers you, you don't have to comment on it.
You don't even have to acknowledge it.
You can actually ignore it completely without engaging with it in any way, shape, or form.
You do not, and should not, bring whatever dysregulated emotions you're dealing with into other people's posts.
You have your own feed and space to express yourself in.

Maybe it's time for you to get offline.
Maybe it's time for you to stop doomscrolling.
Maybe it's time for you to stop surfing the firehouse or whatever it is you do to rile yourself up.
Maybe it's time to read a book - I recommend Meditations.
Maybe it's time to take a walk - if it is safe for you to.
Maybe it's time to learn how to meditate.
Maybe it's time for you to learn how to breathe.
I know it's absolutely time for you to keep your anger out of my feed though. I do know that.

@thewebrecluse I'm a fan of the stoic perspective.
@GhostsOfWar50 I have been a stoic for over 40 years. It's a way of life for me and not merely a perspective.
@thewebrecluse I'm a Buddhist that enjoys the wisdom of the Stoics. 👍
@GhostsOfWar50 Yes there is much overlap indeed. ❤️
@thewebrecluse Oh you definitely get it. 😁 👍🏽
@AkomoCombine I have zero patience for dealing with people's unmanaged dysregulation. I don't deal with it in real life I won't deal with it in my feed either.
@thewebrecluse I'm going to use this quote at the next pack meeting about kindness. Thank you.
