Outcome Orientation as a Cure for Information Overload - Commoncog

Yes, absolutely!

I’ve found myself slowly disengaging from useless “stalk some person out of envy” type of behaviours — which I am ok admitting to doing. Mostly because Outcome Orientation forces me to face myself: “why am I doing this?” I ask, and then I don’t like the answer: “because I want schadenfreude”. So now I still do it, usually when I’m tired and cognitively compromised, but I do it less, and it’ll taper off to zero over time.
