I don't know if anyone else has this particular anxiety, but the early years of Twitter where social activism/justice basically boiled down to "Have you seen this fucked up thing? If you haven't, you are now and if you're not talking about it, you don't care and are a bad person"
Like, it still affects me
Or "EVERYONE SHOULD BE OUT THERE PROTESTING"
Some person I've never seen before online: UMM WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS SOCIAL INJUSTICE, WHY ARE YOU PROTESTING, AND WRITNG AND CALLING YOUR SENATORS
Me, brain pulsating with anxiety, barely existing while at work: for sure dude yeah

Stranger I've never heard of: IF YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON, YOU'LL WATCH THIS VIDEO OF A MARGINALIZED PERSON BEING HURLED INTO A WOOD CHIPPER TO SEE THE INJUSTICE IN THIS WORLD
Me, staring into the middle distance: hey that's great but remember the sitcom Soul Man starring Dan Akroyd
