This is exactly why we all need to be incredibly judicious in what we expose ourselves to -- the people we surround ourselves with with family, work, and social life, the content we read, watch or listen to, and the emotions we absorb from the communities around us. Sometimes our filters can handle it all, a lot of times it can't. And a lot of modernity, with always-connected internet devices, outrage porn "news", and sky-is-falling political hacks everywhere, can be overwhelming and frankly exhausting. I always recommend disconnecting, taking a breather, and enjoying the serenity of quiet. Not working in toxic environments with crummy colleagues, and certainly not being dragged into the daily grind of content farm media companies. It's a huge benefit to one's mental health and emotional stability.
