^Hi! Welcome. You being here means more than you know. Knowing it lands wit=
h someone like you keeps me going. I'm ^^[Lavena Xu-Johnson](https://x.com/=
iamlavena)^^. I write about psychology for founders. Why? Because scaling a=
 business means scaling ourselves first.^

_Hi founders,_

_When the conflict started 2 weeks ago, I found myself living entirely onli=
ne endlessly for hours. Since I am in the UAE, staying on top of the news f=
or the first 48 hours felt like a survival instinct. But at what point does=
 this become unhelpful?_

_When I finally decided to drop my phone and stepped outside on day three, =
I was struck by how comforting it was to see people walking their dogs. buy=
ing coffee, living their lives as normal._

_That moment of disorientation, the gap between the catastrophe in my head =
and the ordinary reality around me, broke the spell._

_Our internal state=C2=A0does not have to=C2=A0be entirely governed by the =
external world. It can remain calm and collected, even when the world outsi=
de feels chaotic._

_I realized I hadn't been seeking information. I'd been seeking certainty i=
n a situation that was going nowhere: Reading one more thread, one more ana=
lysis... Some part of me believes that if I just stay mentally engaged long=
 enough, the discomfort will finally resolve._

_But it wouldn=E2=80=99t._

_Doomscrolling and rumination are the same mindless spiral. When any uncert=
ainty becomes too hard to tolerate, whether in work or in the world, it bec=
omes easy to turn to compulsive content consumption and repetitive overthin=
king - even when most news sources are entirely unreliable. _

_To tell ourselves to just =E2=80=98put the phone down=E2=80=99 is like tre=
ating the symptoms without understanding the cause._

_So, what is the root of the problem?_

### The uncertainty we can't tolerate

The common thread isn't our phones or our anxious behaviours. It's somethin=
g psychologists call=C2=A0[intolerance of uncertainty](https://www.scienced=
irect.com/science/article/pii/S0887618516300251?via%3Dihub) - the degree to=
 which we find ambiguous situations threatening and unbearable (Bottesi et =
al., 2022).

When uncertainty spikes, our brain demands a response to feel calm in the p=
erceived danger. That response takes two forms:

* outward information-seeking (doomscrolling)

* inward mental churning (rumination)

Both are attempts to resolve the ambiguity, to find the answer that will fi=
nally let you relax. Research shows that IU directly predicts both compulsi=
ve news checking and repetitive negative thinking through the same pathway:=
 overestimating threat and deploying "safety behaviors" to manage it.

But the irony is, these behaviors only amplify the uncertainty.

### Why scrolling makes it worse

You might think doomscrolling is just a bad habit. But studies reveal it fu=
nctions as=C2=A0maladaptive coping - a short-term emotional regulation stra=
tegy that worsens long-term distress.

The behavior creates a feedback loop and reinforces itself: we scroll to es=
cape uncertainty, the content triggers more worry, so we scroll more to man=
age that worry.

### The compulsion beneath the behavior: Intolerance of uncertainty

If you've ever tried to "just stop" doomscrolling or ruminating, you know i=
t doesn't work that way. These behaviors feel automatic, almost involuntary=
. That's because they share features with addiction: urges, salience, and c=
ontinued use despite harm.

But the contributing factor to the compulsion is more than how social media=
 is designed - it=E2=80=99s about how our=C2=A0brain processes the=C2=A0abs=
ence=C2=A0of information, and the very human need to control the uncontroll=
able. When we can't predict what will happen, our threat-detection system s=
tays heightened, and it craves resolution.

This cognitive process manifests in rigid certainty demands: the belief tha=
t we=C2=A0must=C2=A0know the outcome, that uncertainty itself is dangerous,=
 and that tolerating ambiguity is intolerable.

c6a-915d-6f039a21f11a/Insane_Founder_graphs.png?t=3D1773866489)

These beliefs drive two core responses:=C2=A0[threat appraisal=C2=A0and=C2=
=A0safety behaviors](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000=
5796799001333).

* Threat appraisal: We interpret uncertain situations as more dangerous tha=
n they are. Our brain overestimates the likelihood of threats and keeps us =
in a state of vigilance. This sustained cognitive activation is what resear=
chers call=C2=A0[perseverative cognition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per=
severative_cognition) - our minds stay locked on the threat, replaying scen=
arios, searching for answers.

* Safety behaviors: Actions we take to reduce the perceived threat. Checkin=
g the phone and scrolling for updates. Mentally replaying the conversation =
to find what was missed. These behaviors provide short-term relief and a br=
ief sense of control, but they prevent us from learning that uncertainty is=
 tolerable. Each time we check, we reinforce the belief that uncertainty is=
 dangerous and that we need external information to feel safe.

### Why "just put your phone down" misses the point

Most advice treats doomscrolling as a screen-time problem: Limit notificati=
ons, use app blockers, take a digital detox. These interventions target the=
 symptom, not the cause.

The research is clear: intolerance of uncertainty drives these behaviors [t=
hrough mediating pathways](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/088=
70446.2021.1952584) - maladaptive coping styles, fear of missing out, perce=
ived stress, and rumination. If we don't address those mediators, restricti=
ng device access won't change the underlying pattern. We=E2=80=99ll just fi=
nd another way to seek certainty.

The critical therapeutic target is building=C2=A0uncertainty tolerance - th=
e capacity to sit with ambiguity without needing to resolve it immediately.

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94

### Why targeting intolerance of uncertainty changes outcomes while device =
restrictions don't

Clinical trials of cognitive-behavioral therapy for intolerance of uncertai=
nty (CBT-IU) show that reductions in IU are[ associated with 59% decreases =
in worry](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S08876185150007=
8X?via%3Dihub) and anxiety (Bomyea et al., 2015).

When you change the cognitive style, the way you appraise and respond to un=
certainty, and the compulsive behaviors lose their function.

Device restrictions, by contrast, don't alter threat appraisal or certainty=
 demands. They create external barriers, but the internal drive and anxiety=
 remain the same.

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=

### What actually helps

The next time you catch yourself doomscrolling or spiraling into rumination=
, think about:=C2=A0_What uncertainty am I trying to resolve?_=C2=A0Perhaps=
, there isn't a resolution available, and the situation is entirely out of =
your control.

That's the moment to practice sitting with "I don't know." Not as defeat, d=
issociation, but as reality. Uncertainty isn't a problem to solve, but a te=
mporary situation to tolerate. The more we can accept that not everything c=
an be known or controlled right now, the less power these compulsive spiral=
s have over us.

We assume that one more scroll will finally give us the answer. But we=E2=
=80=99ve already tested that hypothesis hundreds of times.

It doesn't work.

What works is stepping outside and noticing that life continues, that most =
uncertainties resolve themselves or become irrelevant with time, and that o=
ur well-being doesn't depend on having all the answers right now.

Next week=E2=80=99s issue is about the =E2=80=98how=E2=80=99: the concrete =
psychological techniques that reduce compulsive checking and overthinking a=
t the root.

We cannot control uncertainty, but we can strengthen the mind that faces it=
.
