Everyone is angry at something. There is so much wrong in the world and no one focuses on the positive. Everyone expects you to be angry with them, whether its human rights, politics, climate change, racism, wars, Brexit, COVID, government lockdowns and failings, the EU, billionaires, and more. The media doesn't help things.

But I feel like I am also expected to be angry at the world and it's really fucking getting me down. I feel as though if I am not angry at the world with everyone else, then I will be deemed to be supporting whatever it is they are angry about. Don't get me wrong, I hold the same opinions and I support what everyone is doing but I feel like I will be shunned if I am not at least a bit vocal about it. 

I am tired of feeling pressured to be angry. I am tired of being condemned for not being angry. Why can I not quietly hold my opinions and support causes from a distance? This is all obviously exacerbated by COVID and having nothing better to do than doom scroll on the internet. What can I as a singular person with social media privacy settings set to highest achieve by constantly having to voice my outrage? 

Urgh. It's just making me feel like shit. Anyone else?
