When the world is facing huge crises (climate, politics, economics), there's a pressure to care, care, care. But sometimes, as a survival mechanism against overwhelm, my brain just turns off. Is it a sign of weakness, or a necessary boundary, to choose apathy on certain days?

I think it’s perfectly normal to withdraw from all the negativity around us on a daily basis It’s not a weakness, it’s a survival skill!

IMO a boundary. I don't care about much, especially none of those things you mentioned. Ignorance truly is bliss. As long as it doesn't directly effect me or someone I love I truly don't care even if people think I should.

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already).

Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.
