You can't wait for other people to change to feel better. Blaming external forces makes you a hostage to them, traps you in confirmation bias, and locks you into a pessimistic outlook. The only way out is taking responsibility for your own state.
Once they change their ways, I'll finally be content. It was crazy though. Like, this is— we laugh at this. Like, we look at this and laugh, but it's so real. Like, it's so real the way we live in this. And then what do we do? We blame the external. And what does blaming the external do? It makes us a hostage to people, places, and things. It makes us dependent on their changes and inevitably creates a confirmation bias with no matter what happens in the external. I've just programmed myself to see only the negative.
