What are your opinions about solar flares?

Solar flares scare the shit out of me oftentimes and the fact that they are capable of destroying our society by rendering our electronics useless just instills fear upon me.

Like I get that life is hard and I have lots of issues with it but technology atleast makes things a lot bearable for us, having those gone would make our lives harder even for people who say that we'd be better off without tech.

Like for example the Carrington event (Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event), the Carrington solar flare was powerful enough to cause power surges on most parts of the world but we manages to recover because our tech back then wasn't as sensitive nor are we so dependant on it.

But now we are living in a time where our technology is a lot more sensitive and we are at our most dependant on tech so far and the consequences that would occur if a Carrington-like event were to happen today just leaves me in fear because that would mean I'd lose so much, I won't be able to contact my friends from around the world, I won't be able to go to the communities I wish to interact with, my work would all be for nothing since they would be gone and I would be more isolated than I already am.

I mean we're really lucky that we are not plunged into an apocalypse from a solar storm but there is always that possibility and I know that some of you are apathetic about such a thing since it wouldn't matter anyway but I can't help but feel scared because even though a part of me feels nihilistic about it. I'm still scared of the overall possibilities.
