I don’t see people as growing. I see the entire “self growth” concept as competition for everything - from friends to success.
I notice self-growth is achieved by few.
I find it bull**** because most of us grow old and just die in the end.

But it’s advertised all around Facebook for instance and it’s depressing. It can even be the simple things like someone committing a featful exercise, or drawing something beautiful. Don’t get me started on the sparkly “how to make food” videos with the usual fast-motions and slow-motion grabbing of the food to see how cheesy or creamy or whatever it is.
The reason I’m on Facebook is because I have nothing else to do.
I see watching TV futile, even playing video games. Because I am stressed and depressed about how my life has been all these years, with unsolved and perhaps undolvable anxieties such as psychiatric medications taken in the past
