Recently I looked over the old lending agreement dashboard again, feeling like the liquidation line is three steps away from the red line—really quite nerve-wracking. My habit is to first suppress the thought of "should I hold on a bit longer," and start with the simplest action: reduce some leverage, add a bit of collateral, even if it costs a little more in fees, rather than waiting for the system to make the decision for me. My position is already small, so I treat it as a way to stay sober.

I will first ask myself: Do I really believe in this, or do I just not want to admit a loss?
The answers are usually quite honest: mostly the latter...

Recently, everyone has been complaining about miners/validators taking too much, MEV causing unfair ordering, and I also resonate a bit. Honestly, the closer to the critical point, the more I fear that sudden "slippage + queuing" event. So I’d rather withdraw some in advance, keep some ammunition, and not leave my fate to the few seconds of luck on the chain. Anyway, cycles will come back, but they might not give you a chance to wait in place.
