Bullshit Immune System

I scrolled through some posts on LinkedIn yesterday, it was the first time in the past month, it was really cringe.

I was like "damn I used to consume that thing daily?" This got me to realize how we unconsciously build immune systems to filter out things just to protect our sanity, and I didn't have it anymore.

I believe it is the same mechanism that prevents people who spend 10 hours a day in video calls from going insane.

The self-imposed pain we inflict on ourselves that is considered "normal" is really weird, and the only way to notice is the less likely to happen, stepping away from these things even for a few days.

Not using social media for 7 or 8 months makes me more aware that "I used to live like that and it felt it was normal."
