Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? - eviltoast

    No i didn’t mean it like that, i’m sorry. It’s more of a reaction to the general vibe i get off lemmy while im in a period of trying to debug by brain. I probably misread what you actually meant. Most of lemmy is just frustrated and sad about things we have little control over. It’s more the general thread reminding me of healthy ways of thinking vs the rest of lemmy. your comment just happened to be where i was thinking out loud. sorry ><

      @wathek thanks. I think it was a misunderstanding caused by my poor communication.

      I’m sorry that’s been your experience here. It’s been very different for me - I was previously on reddit and saw a lot of negativity and cynicism and despair over there. And outright meanness, shills etc.

      Kbin/lemmy has made me feel much more revitalised and optimistic, I contribute way more content here, but also somehow have more free time, and I’ve become a bit more active in my community and local/national politics IRL as well. I feel like I’m really reconnecting with that side of life.

      Unfortunately Lemmy isn’t that for you, but I hope you find somewhere that is.
