This. Get used to playing in BB measures. Everything becomes more relative.

It all depends on your stack size, as others have already mentioned. If you have 30 big blinds, for example, you might raise to 2 BB. If you only have 15 BB, folding could be the correct play. Everything depends on your stack, and that's why it's important to learn GTO strategy based on your stack depth. Your decisions—whether to raise, call, fold, or even go all-in—should always be influenced by how many big blinds you have.
