The war is affecting my friends. My friends and family are all entering different stages of their life. It's been hard to meet new people. Office friends are even more removed and many moved away because of covid and work from home. I see how expensive my grocery bill has gotten every other weekend.
Phones and technology are some of the only escapes left.
This is bad advice, even worse than saying use the phone more because it's dismissive of the larger issues I am facing in life. The phone isn't the thing doing the killing, it's the governments of countries like Iran, Russia, and Ukraine. There's are good and bad guys in war, but both countries experience a loss in souls.
That's also not how dopamine works.
- owenpalmer 4y agoI'm sorry to hear about your situation. It's a hard time for everyone, and there are many factors contributing to mental health decline in our society. However, I don't think your view on using phones as an escape is a correct one. Using social media, porn, or games as an escape are not a healthy response to difficult times in one's life. Getting in touch with reality, being in nature, and spending time with quality people are better ways to live a healthy life outside of work. Everything in moderation.
