Emotional reactions to news

Posted by Tabitha on June 12, 2016, at 17:26:44

I used to be able to easily avoid seeing the news. I didn't watch TV or read newspapers. I picked and chose what internet sites to read. There were plenty of blogs and forums that didn't rely on news and opinion for their topics.

Now it seems it's impossible to avoid seeing dozens of emotionally triggering articles in my social media and RSS feeds. I don't want to hear about the election or the stanford rapist any more. Now there's the orlando shooting. Since the rise of click-driven revenue, every article tries to generate as much fear or rage or self-righteousness as possible. I feel jerked around. I get triggered easily and get stuck on topics.

I don't want to totally isolate myself but I've really had it.
