Hi everyone
I was wondering if anyone else experiences this , but I find that I can get obsessed with something very easily , for example if I like an idea then I will think obsessively about how to go about it , research it etc. I find I have multiple obsessions at the same time which are constantly going round in my head which makes me exhausted, trying to figure out how to do my obsessions , for example planning a trip away or funding an activity.
I tend to also get bored quickly so my obsessions can fizzle out in a matter of days/weeks , but some go on for months. Does anyone else experience this too?
any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
I have an obsession with news (depressing) and the internet (i use it all day)
Me too - I'm currently loving the US politics and the back-room criminality that's been going on for decades. On Youtube - I like Millennial Millie - she has an amazing ability to dig up what they're trying to hide - and Salty Cracker - his blunt assessment of the craziness is hilarious - but lots of swearing.
And, naturally, all the nerdy videos on there.
I recommend the channels Secular News and Chomsky's Philosophy.
I don't trust anything - I just gather information and process it all myself - one person's truth is another person's lie. But some are really funny.
But i use it also. haha
I would caution against using youtube as your only source for political news because of the algorithm and the way it will send you down rabbit holes.
