That does sound like solid advice.
Exactly, sitting with your thoughts is infinitely more productive and fulfilling than scrolling
Albert Einstein was a notorious daydreamer and he ended up being one of the most beloved side characters in Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer. Be like Einstein and stop doomscrolling.
Escaping from my thoughts is why I’m on my phone
that will make you bored. which is healthy.
I see a huge difference in generations. My parents generation can go anywhere and not be bored. They strike up conversations with other people even when those people do not immediately benefit them. They can sit for hours in a spot and not get stressed about it. They enjoy things.
maybe the newer generations should reconnect to themselves and the world around them too.
instead of corporate-controlled algorithimically-manipulated social media.
Sir, this is a Lemmy’s
better than any wendy’s out there, thats for sure.
I don’t think they ever can. This stuff is probably learned at critical ages. Like language skills.
thats sad as fuck, there has to be a way
Would you ever just chill with a trump supporter and chat
i usually don’t seek it out but i do sometimes.
Raw dogging life.
Doom scrolling my own memories vs someone else’s
not if you do some drugs
This but unironically
I did this in a waiting room at the doctors office. The person next to me got up and moved to the other side of the room.
People see me not on my phone and automatically think I’m a psychopath.
I mean, I kind of am, but they don’t know that.
but they don’t know that.
Depends on the waiting room
I remember when waiting rooms had a stack of magazines and newspapers to flip through
I do this too, but mostly because I don’t want anyone seeing what’s on my phone.
It’s one thing to stare at the wall or out the window of a building, but to do nothing but stare at the back of an airliner seat? That must be someone who enjoys the pains of flying.
This but unironically.
Obviously this is just what we had to do on the bus or whatever; I’d have all my best ideas in this state (the sad irony being not having a notepad to hand to write them down).
This is actually good advice, though.
It helps so much you have no idea
This is what we did before mobile phones. It wasn’t that bad.
Literally how my job expects me to act when there’s no work.
staring blankly into space brings wisdom; lack of staring blankly into space leaves ignorance. know well what leads you forwards and what holds you back
Shoot dashed lines out of eyes? NO
Do not shoot dash lines out of eyes? GOOD
destroy the phone with eye lasers so you can sit in peace
Shoot both dots and dashes out of eyes? GREAT
Must be nice having an inner voice.
Warning: enlightenment possibility ahead
