I've Been Conflicted Lately

On just about every issue in current news, you feel like you're being pulled from the left and right. They all claim to have the facts, and they make accusations about the other side. You don't know whom to listen to. You don't know which sources are telling the truth. You don't know if someone was censored because they're onto something or spreading false information. In my experience, if you firmly take a stand on one side or the other, you feel confident, and people around you think you're intelligent. The less firm I am, the more I question my own intelligence--the more I feel lost in life. I don't know where to be or who to trust, and that makes me feel weak and stupid. Does anyone here feel the same way?

@curiosi Thank you! I hope you're right. This goes against my need and desire to fit into something. If I can't label myself sufficiently, I doubt myself.
