Yeah, we can't worry about other people so much. They are going to do what they do. We can only do what is best for us.

I have to distance myself from not only news, but also other areas that keep bringing up troubling statements of risk-taking, disinformation spreading, misinformation spreading, and the like. It's their consequences now. I'm done trying to help and hinder death, disease, loss, and trauma. They choose that life, they are alone in choosing it. I'm no longer going to try to help. I'm done. I'm just simply going to either ghost, walk away with an explanation, or, if I'm kind of anonymous anyway, ignore. It's not worth my mental health and the resulting immune deficiency from being stressed out by risk-takers. I just can't anymore.
At least I know I'm doing my part on my own with other like-minded individuals who also value the same things I do - safety.
