a version of this i do (and am obviously failing at currently) is to avoid sites with comments, and avoid search engines

sites with commenting trick your brain into thinking you are having social interactions, at best it’s a waste of time, at worst you end up legitimately feeling worse than you did before

the feeling of wanting to look up some random factoid and not being able to feels unsettling at first. this is how you know your brain is getting fucked up by this. whenever is stick to this for a couple days my brain feels much more normal and i feel more relaxed
