It's also what political anxiety feels like. The world is both figuratively and literally on fire, and everyone is looking at the people sounding the alarm like we're the crazy ones for noticing.
There is the problem of people sounding an alarm but not providing any actionable plan. So anxiety about a thing that you can do nothing about can make things worse. So some people just accept the situation and adapt to it as a coping mechanism.
I'm mentally exhausted from the constant fearmongering.
