Social media is making a lot of you lose your minds and sanity without even realizing it. You can’t even form your own political, social, and personal views without the external approval of a certain group or the masses, without being told what’s acceptable for you to think and what isn’t, and while biting your tongue everytime you wish to deviate from the status quo because you don’t want to be rejected a by a group or people you have deemed your tribe.

Many of you live your lives vicariously through others, waiting to hear what others have to say, how they behave, or what they do with their lives to replicate it because you don’t feel like growing a sense of self and personality independently from others is enough, you don’t feel like you are enough.

The constant flow or information we receive in this day and age, and the unnatural lives we live as a society, voided from genuine human contact for the most part, and fixated on trivial manners that don’t serve us any good, is making a lot of harm to the most easily impressionable.

You don’t have to live like this, grow a spine, stand up for the things you truly believe, and don’t become dependant on other people for your own wellbeing and emotions. The first step is becoming aware of this, so that from there you can work in fixing the aspects of your life you feel need to be changed to escape the his neurotic and toxic cycle many are living through at the moment.
