I’d say you can fix that by realizing that the world was already on fire anyway and that there’s no time like today to start appreciating yourself. Once you do, you’ll find more inner strength to survive and help others survive in this burning world, and you’ll almost certainly find way more inner strength than what you might be expecting.
The world will keep burning, but unfortunately there is no time to cry about it. What we must do now is grab the fire extinguishers and get ready for a hell of a ride. We need people with resolve, self-confidence and determination, and feeling good about yourself definitely helps with that.
P.S.: hope this comment was at all helpful and that it didn’t just sound like a bunch of bland words to you!
I just find it hard to actually take action and not just feel cynical/disillusioned/unable to enact change, which is what I’m doing most of the time.
Of course it helps to start small but I don’t really seem to get any relief from what I do control. Sure it’s nice knowing my friends would eat the billionaires with me but that won’t actually change anything in the world cause we’re all privileged enough to not feel threatened enough (privilege, baby) by the current state of the world to actually get off our asses.
Which in turn makes me feel like I’m just a blob floating on the waves of a storm of someone else’s design and it’s not worth the effort to invest in myself and try to make myself grow as a person.
