Could caring too much choke off your ability to feel at ease in life?
Yes, it can.
Although it's essential to care about yourself, others, your goals, and the state of the world, you can only care so much until your emotions knot you up like a tangled fishing line.
The solution is not to give up on caring about anything but to learn when to stop caring.
Many things are outside of your control.
No matter how much you care, you cannot overcome that chaotic truth.
To enjoy life more and stress less, you need to avoid binding your emotions to things that you can't influence or just don't matter.
