How are we supposed to maintain our individuality in a society increasingly influenced by collective thought, particularly with the rise of social media. In today’s episode, we discuss the difficulties people face in holding personal beliefs and opinions without external validation, and the psychological impacts of societal pressures. We also explore how social networks have fostered a group mentality, risking personal identity and mental health. The conversation covers a range of topics including respect, self-awareness, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Listeners are encouraged to become investigators of their own behaviors and beliefs while finding ways to maintain personal integrity amidst societal influences.
