As someone that does plenty for the community, environment, and disaster services—the things I know I’m best at—I don’t see what that has to do with withdrawing from society with the mind.

I’d rather protect my mental wellbeing so that I don’t become jaded from the day in and day out of society, lest I go the way of so many others, doomscrolled into a state of apathy or even spite toward society. No one’s ever lifted a finger for something they’re mentally done with.

So I don’t really understand your point on two levels, but I think it was worth mentioning that for anyone else. We all operate differently and if it works for us, it works for those around us 👍
