I want to be honest and heard. Let me ask you this question: like, would you want a hundred thousand followers on Instagram if I could just give you that right now...but like, I'm not really doing anything. I think it's bullshit.
Imagine a world where every post you make is a true reflection of who you are, without the filters and facades. In this episode of 'Learning to Lose', Patrick Ridge sits down with Billy, Oleg, and Veronica to discuss the importance of being unapologetically authentic online. They dive deep into how social media shapes our mental health, exploring the highs and lows that come with likes, views, and the constant need for validation.
Ever wondered how these digital interactions affect your self-esteem? You're not alone. The group candidly talks about their own experiences and the societal pressures to maintain a perfect online persona. They also tackle the alarming rise in suicide rates among teenage girls, linking it to the toxic side of social media. The conversation doesn't stop there.
Drawing from Carl Jung's teachings, they explore the balance between inner work and external relationships, emphasizing the value of humor and optimism in navigating life's challenges. Whether it's dealing with a loved one's illness or finding a supportive partner, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the struggles we all face. Tune in for a genuine conversation that might just change the way you view your online presence.
