I need to stop being frustrated by friends who can't stop and say "maybe". Absolutely exhausted from everyone screaming that the sky is falling for 8 straight years.
Very much appreciate this because the fear is like a mind virus that blinds us to reality. What I also find is very stoic though I haven't found a great quote yet is to not only face, but intimatly study the fear you feel. Not to justify it but to make sure it's legitimate. That's a step I did with climate change and once I studied, I started to realize that what we've been told to fear, put in context, is not at all the same as just what we've been told to fear itself.
I wrote a deeper analysis on rates of temp change earlier which can, when you've faced the fear, help to understand what we are seeing better.

Yeah. If we expect others to be skeptical about their expectations for the future, it's going to be a very frustrating life.
Looking forward to reading this.
Just refer to Seneca: “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” Have her repeat it throughout the day till she overcomes her anxiety.
