Simply being a doomer doesn’t accomplish anything on its own. You have to translate it into meaningful action.

You don’t “grow out of it.” You just decided to put your head back in the sand.

Well I stopped acting like the person in the comic more like. I still pay attention to what's going on. I just don't bring up those topics at the lunch table at work for example, you know?

I think it’s ok to bring it up as a call to action, so long as you’re not just wallowing in the despair.

Yup. But you have to be careful with when you do it. I lost quite a bit of friends in my doomer phase because they just couldn't handle talking to me
