Yes, in case you werenā€™t aware; some stocks do stay flat over time (losing money, as you said), and others actually go down over time (also losing money). So you canā€™t just ā€œzoom outā€ in every scenarioā€¦.

Zoom out. That's the whole point of this post, you have to zoom out more. I can't think of any market that doesn't have this pattern. Because after inflation, it costs more dollars for gas, food, home, and any stock. If any market is a flatline when things go up in price, then it went down equally, kind of like most people's work compensation rate. It either does not immediately go up, or it goes up at a lower percentage.

Even shitcoins move up, just at a lower ratio, which is the modern trending to zero.

I try to recognize that if I have a bad hour/few hours etc, that itā€™s only a part of the 24 we have and I do my best not to let it affect the remaining hours. Not always successful but that is the outset for me.

You might want to consider that this attitude might account for your constant downward progress. Always being on high alert and downplaying any good is a recipe for burnout and depression. Rejoicing in the good days can give you little rays of hope that there can be more future good days and motivate you to keep working through your problems.
