“Insignificant” carries such negative judgement, though. I’ve always found it more freeing. Like no matter what I screw up, the universe will continue on. Sure, I spilled ketchup on my new dress, but matter and energy will always be conserved, so I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.

Same XD I think this is the anxiety-brain view of things - it's comforting to know that my actions are not world-changing when I am constantly unsure I have picked the correct action.

My grandmother helping me to realize that nothing I could conceivably do or fail to do would ever have a lasting effect on the planet, never mind the solar system, galaxy, universe, and so on, did a lot to help me manage my anxiety disorder.

I view insignificance as freeing too. 🙌🏾

Yep, I saw this and played an hour of final fantasy instead of answering an annoying work email. Things move on
