Kinda glad that my obsession with geopolitics has waned to 60%. Not that I've gotten bored, but I've realised a few things:
a) consuming all these info will not help me help the world
b) need to focus on *local* news which will directly affect my life
c) most pundits are there to entertain, not inform (whether they know it or not)
d) my mental health can only take so much
e) My brain RAM is the size of a pea
f) Need to make space for other info like #CDrama and #Kdrama LOL

villainous friend (villainousfriend@federatedfandom.net)'s status on Friday, 11-Oct-2024 20:07:14 JST villainous friend @liztai geopolitics sounds like such an exhausting hyperfixation to have!! Although I guess if your main fannish activity is modding the cdrama subreddit, geopolitics might not feel *that* much more stressful 😰

But that's the problem with me, the moment I hyperfixate on something I can't shake it off unless I find very reasonable reasons not to. It took my brain a while to comprehend ;D
TBH Cdrama sub drama is worse sometimes lol
