yep ... would you want your mindset to be closer to medical professionals and researchers or "kiddiez" and "shltposters"Yeah it’s crazy on Reddit haha.
of course you can find some good opinions there (my view is about 2%) but aside from the "filtration" issue you will find that it winds up your anxiety (or in my case my anger, because I hate shltposts as answers to serious questions).
I am OCD and I've made a career out of that (software engineer and database administrator), I fully support (guided) OCD ... anxiety on the other hand I have no time for. Anxiety does not even warrant being called an attribute of your character; anxiety is simply a destructive force that is an outcome of a failure to take command of it. Its like a messy house isn't a sign of well lived in, its a sign of a lack of discipline.
Anxiety is real, just like 2 weeks of washing up in the sink is real; but it is not a characteristic, its a symptom. The longer you foster it the worse it will be for you.
They say that honey attracts more flies than vinegar, but you know, I've always said that bullshlt attracts even more. I'm not a bullshltter, I'm a firm believer in "the truth".
I've never seen anyone who attributes their success to "anxiety" ... or write a book celebrating how its helped them.
Conquer it.
Best Wishes
