Lots of good advice in your post. After the U.S. presidential election I found social media (and much of mainstream media) was just becoming a drain on me. Too many people I interacted with simply denied any data or evidence unless it coincided with their views. They also accepted opinion and falsehoods as if they were facts. I found myself getting angry and frustrated without anything to show for my efforts. It was really making me ill. At that point, I decided to focus on staying informed but emotionally detached from the madness and working on positive contributions in my areas of expertise. My journey to Steemit is part of my effort to provide positive contributions that may help others.Whenever I read something that upsets me, or see people who absolutely deny facts and evidence, I remind myself to return to producing positive content.
