My friend said that to me when I was talking about a bunch of negative things that were bothering me. I don’t get what he meant by that. I was already getting out to go for walks, class and movies.
shareHe means that doing shit will occupy your mind and prevent you from obsessing over negative things.
shareI think he was saying That when life gets frustrating, sometimes it's wise to move forward with some positive activity so that you don't get too focused on the negative. There is some wisdom in this but he may have misread your mental state. Sometimes the way to solve difficult problems is to talk about them, acknowledge the negative effect they have, and then when you have a better understanding of the problem you find a solution.
People have different ways of looking at this behavior. If your friend doesn't get it, tell him, "I DO get out and do shit, but I have to think about how to fix my shit sometimes."
