Why Do We Care So Much?
So why do we crave things that we don’t even need or truly desire? Social media has conditioned us to tie our worth to external validation—likes, followers, comments, and the approval of others. The more we post, the more we’re rewarded with attention. It’s a dangerous cycle that feeds our insecurities.
When we base our happiness on what others think of us, we lose sight of what genuinely fulfills us. Ask yourself: Would you still want that new designer bag if no one knew you had it? Would you even go on that trip if there was no one to post it for? The truth is, many of our desires are fueled by the desire to impress—not to enjoy.
