The world unfortunately can be a dark, dark place. Between pandemics, civil unrest, political upheaval, racial tensions the highest they've been in decades, the threat of global war and economic collapse looming closer by the day, corruption at the highest echelons of power. How do you come to terms with all of it and keep the negativity of it all from dragging you down?
How do you cope with all the negativity in the world?

Seriously, though, for me I take breaks from the news and social media so that I can focus more on things that fill my bucket vs drain it. Thankfully, I have a lot of hobbies that keep me occupied. What's really helped the most since COVID is being more physically active and walking/hiking.
The key is to just realize that none of it is real and transcend it all, stop obsessing over things that you can't change and have no control of and simply focus on living a good life, let the rest of the world sort it's own self out.

Maybe it's a head-in-the-sand reaction, but I just don't think about all the negativity in the world. While I'm aware of a lot of what's been happening, I'm not a big news junkie so I probably don't know a lot of in-depth stuff. And if it doesn't directly affect me, I'm probably not going to pay much attention to it. I spend my time doing things that I enjoy and life generally doesn't get me down.

Indeed, the world is in a mess right now. When I get annoyed by all the negative news, I listen to my favorite music or read my favorite books. Have gathering with friends or go out for a walk.

I easily get affected by negative news, so I avoid negative people. I, too, unplug from social media.
