Yeah those posts are the worst kind of clickbait, which essentially boil down to "here's a map of where British cities are".Originally Posted by Lencoboy
A certain Russian fella is trying to live in our heads rent free by making us scared of him. And it's working. There is no red fire button on his desk, it doesn't work like that, and if it becomes more scary for his lackeys to follow his orders than not to, he'll probably be mysteriously falling down the Kremlin's steepest staircase.
Why not choose to live presuming that hypothetical future, or one of the many more likely ones, rather than the catastrophic hypothetical future?
CBT tells you to counter questions of "Argh this might happen" with a shrugged "yeah, it might", and move on if you can't do anything about it. This seems really hard with existential fears but it's true. Because if you chase 100% certainty you'll never get it.
