At what point do you accept that bear season is here?

Obviously this period is scaring a lot of people (myself included). Luckily i considered my money lost the second I put it into crypto, so I'm gonna carry on grinding work for the time being.

I'm wondering though, at what point do you decide or accept that bear season is here? How long does a "dip" have to last before it's considered bear season?

I'm calling on the Veterans here. When the previous bear seasons came, were the same "buy the dip" - "these dips are normal" - "just a healthy correction" posts everywhere?

Edit - didn't mean to put that flair
