    Just generally in life?

    Care less.

    Even if you think you don’t care anymore, there is another level of caring in the back of your head that you need to kill.

    Every social construct you’re told you should care about makes you a little more miserable.

    Nothing matters, it’s all made up by people trying to manipulate you. Do the bare minimum of what you need to do to get to what you genuinely enjoy. No one will ever think fondly about what an adult or professional you were, it’s just manipulation. Humanity is a bad joke of unearned self-importance.

    Care less.

      But still care about some things.

      Care about eating food, keeping your spaces clean enough, and your overall health. Too little care can be a deep hole to climb out of.

        I’d file that under bare minimum, self-care yes.

        As for holes, we all find ourselves in one sooner or later. No one gets out alive. You’re only in a hole if you consider it a hole. Some people’s happiness is in avoiding people and playing video games, that’s only a hole if you want it to be and choose to internalize other’s judgment of it.

        The greedy powers that be have made the act of trying in this civilization into a trap for their exclusive enrichment at the expense of those they trap, and eventually those they trap stay trapped out of the sunk cost fallacy. Don’t fall for it.
