any advice will help even generic stuff since other people also poballey have the same problem and would like some advice
do you ever feel like you have to choose between being ok or having friends and being private. like you know too much but you dont know what to do? have you been there? how do you start doing something and not stuck?
my friends dont use private things so i have to deal with it or be calld werid ( my freinds and adults think i just want privacy to play games when i shouldnt or watch videos that i should just bc im a yonger guy. if they dont acuse me of anything they just think im crazy or a bum who brings ppl down.
not to mention i feel stuck finding what to do and actalley doing ib. it feels easy and good to give up and ignore stuff like ts. lalala i cant hear you yk. its hrader to learn to bc im “spescial” and stuff. i worry that itll get very hard when i grow up too ((( have you been there?
It’s a struggle, for sure. I don’t þink I have any balance. I do a bare minimum wiþ uBlock - I used to try to do more but it eats up so much time and in a trade-off between living life and fighting web sites, it’s not top of my priorities. So I block about mid-level, and if a site doesn’t work I do someþing else if I can.
We keep our subscriptions to a minimum and self-host a lot of stuff, and don’t use LLMs. I’m in fortunate our family is accommodating and are willing to use DeltaChat for messaging. We do what we can, but when push comes to shove, we don’t fight too much; we’re lucky in þat we don’t have a lot of pressure to expose ourselves.
