I feel like I'm there, I was there before Covid and feel like it's worse now. I legit have no motivation to do anything and I know I'm pessimistic and not fun to be around for the most part. If anyone wants further stuff I can deep dive but I need some advice because I feel like I'm stuck in the wallow not to escape. [Reply]

I mostly just post hilarity such as this:
I reluctantly joined facebook last year so I can see my son's hockey games live streamed , that is the only thing I use it for( ithink my brother is the only friend request I accepted) , I don't read twitter or any other social media platforms and CP is the only forum I look at, do I miss out or fall behind news wise maybe but long term I think I am better for it. [Reply]
I actually find CP to be completely fine, and I don't consider this form of social media to be of negative impact on myself personally. I just don't let anything said on here effect how I think of things. Ya'll are a great form of entertainment and sometimes even very helpful with real life situations. [Reply]

It can be harsh here sometimes. There is no PC in place here. But, agreed its a different vibe than other social media. [Reply]

I make it work here because I don't have any alter-ego or any shit. I'm just me. (Yes I really do hate Squirmin Herman Motherfucking Sack of Cunt Edwards)
I don't have much time for much else, so that's why it works for me. I stay out of the full-on fights and try to keep my filter on. [Reply]

You have to be who you are on here. Sure you can fudge a little, withhold some stuff but your personality, you cant hide. Just be who you are. None of us will ever be president. No one is going to look at our posts 15 years in the future and see if we are qualified for office. [Reply]

That would be a resounding NO in my case. :-) [Reply]
Burnout might just come down to needing a relaxation of the mind. I know I made my post over a week ago now about closing down my social medias and what's funny in my case I've began getting texted more by the girls that are actually interested in seeing me. Because my life is no longer easily accessible they wanna know what i'm up to and therefore have initiated contact more. Now aside from that, I've been going to my gym and doing two-a-days to keep my mind occupied and I recently purchased a microphone set to begin doing my own podcast work with a couple of my best friends.
My point is, you gotta block out the noise. Social media is noise and nonsense. I do still have twitter to keep up with sports news, but otherwise just living a tad more simplistically can help free your mind and that whole burnout thing eventually evades. Use your mental energy towards things that can be of value to your life, and by life I mean your actual physical life.
