It’s just, too much, so much bad and evil happening and I can’t take it, nor can I look away.

I use these platforms to distract from the gnawing constant loneliness I feel that never goes away.

I can’t spend more than 5 minutes without a video playing or checking some kind of media to fill the void.

I’m feeling so suicidal nowadays, but I’m stuck in this existence for the time being.

          Voting is compulsory in my country. The people I’ve voted for have never won any power to affect things. Our (like many countries) media is essentially bought out acting as a PR wing for the wealthy,

        Yes but it’s better to decide who you support well in advance to ensure you aren’t swept by campaigns. It’s the whole reason Trump won in 2024. People chose to believe his campaign instead of doing research on him.
