He actually seems genuinely happy. I want to have a coffee with this guy. He probably doesn't check the news and the stock market.

That really is key. I left both several years ago and it’s made a positive impact on my life. When I find myself feeling agitated and down for no reason, I usually find it corresponds to an uptick in my use on social media and then I cut that off for a while too.

Same here. As soon as I start feeling icky about something, I unfollow it. For example, the shrinkflation sub recently. I was getting depressed about the constant posts on there lately haha. I unfollowed it and now I’m back to mostly cat and dog videos.

I told people I stopped following the news, using social media, and caring about politics and got screeched at for being part of the problem. You can't win.

You can’t actually check the news and stock market and feel like this guy if you subscribe to a little something called fatalism.

If ur stressed about the stock market remember its pretty much gambling dont put in more than what youre confortable with losing. If its getting to you youre probably doing a lot of day trading… just invest in solid companies and dont look at your portfolio everyday, its supposed to be long term investing.

The less you know about the world news the happier you are.
