If you decide the world’s problems are too big for you to worry about, and stop thinking about them, your own little problems will grow in your imagination until they’re as big as the ones you decided to ignore.

It helps me to think about the world’s problems. It’s too hard to think about a lot of my own, and now those problems are actually “big” (or are they...?), and they hinder my happiness the most. So I turn to other people’s problems and the world’s “bigger” problems.

Disagree a bit. Not reading news has certainly decreased my anxiety levels
