Like many people with social anxiety, I'm incredibly sensitive to the world around me -- politics and world events included. I become very fixated on current happenings, you know, caring and wanting things to change for the better. I just feel as though constantly objecting and being tuned in to this political hysteria has become so enraging, exhausting and disappointing. What I cannot change in this world is always on my mind as drift off to sleep and when I wake. I can't read a news article without feeling drained or heated, or watch the news without wanting to yell at the television screen. I suppose I have come to the point where I'm contemplating... not caring? Then again, I can't stand ignorant people and don't want to be one. Those who are in charge of the world always seem to get it wrong (most of the time, in my opinion) and this world just becomes more berserk by the minute and the toll on my mind becomes apparent. I'm tired of how the world operates and I feel completely helpless because of it.
