>>11644319I just asked questions and kept an open mind. I tried practicing empathy and kept reminding myself that nothing is really set in stone and even though I'm helpless against some things, I am the master of my own reality ultimately I am the only person that can change my life for the better.
For a long time I was just like you OP, until one day I had a major panic attack that changed the way I saw things. It humbled me.
If you buy into other people's narratives you're a sucker. Don't just take someone's word for something, keep an open mind and figure things out for yourself and make your own judgments. For the longest time I was convinced that I was totally helpless and there was nothing I could ever do to make my life any better. I was 100% blackpilled about basically everything. I had a lot of anxiety issues, and yet I actively sought out people who would constantly tell me that the world is going to end, we're headed for total collapse, everyone you know and love will suffer or die soon, etc.
I don't buy that shit anymore. Not one bit of it. I am the master of my reality, and I say I'm going to enjoy my life and do whatever I fucking want. Reality still exists, there will always be things I'm helpless to fight but I can't let them fuck up my life.
