Some metaphores about personal boundaries.

 I was thinking about social boundaries.  If you dont have many boundaries you dont tend to make lasting friendships and let all kinds of bad stuff in. Like a locked door to your apartment is a boundary in a way because it prevents people coming into your apartment unless yyou llet them in. 

Boundaries are sort of like the locked door or closed window. So not sure where I'm going with this. I decided to close some windows in my online life myself. Like not allowing DM's from server members anymore, that tends to be a source of stress when someone DM me out of the blue. 

I also disabled friend requests, a lot of people adding me either have borderline personalty disoder, are spammers/phishers.
I thought closing some windows so to speak would be a good idea. Dont want to let in the bugs. I dont really trust myself talking to people that much anymore so I thought of closing the Window that is Discord for awhile. Though not sure I need to do that.

I'm spending too much time wasting time

 I decided to spend less time on chat programs and Youtube. So instead of going on Youtube to kill time I'll go on other sites. Instead of talking to people online I'll either call someone in my family or talk to one of my real life friends.

In the mean time I'm going to spend time on introspection and figuring out something productive for me to do, like developing skills or accomplishing something meaningful. I think I might install LFS, as someone suggested on a /soc/ post, I posted his post here awhile back.

Another thing I dont like about spending so much time online is the types of people it exposes me to. Not really the healthiest thing so I might go back to having a more passive interaction with the internet. 

One thing I thought of doing even though not really useful is collecting pictures I find on the internet. Even though it's not useful it's relaxing because one thing I should be doing is relaxing more. I find a lot of the things I've been doing stressful.
