When did every mundane choice became a life-or-death calculation for you? Media buttons aren't footguns. Scooters aren't assassins.

The gap between reasonable caution and this kind of hypervigilance isn't wisdom, it's self-imposed paralysis.

Running pedestrian safety and keyboard shortcuts through the same catastrophic framework is a system that's eating itself - every interaction becomes a referendum on survival.

When people point out that you aren't serving yourself with this worldview, you seem to take the disagreement as proof that others just don't see what's coming.

That's not living... that's white-knuckling through existence, mistaking the grip for control.
