You know, there were 50, 100 people who you met during your entire life.
That was your tribe or your band.
And you compared yourselves to perhaps 20 or 30 of them who were around your age.
And now you compare yourself to the entire planet.
And there's always someone who is smarter and better looking and more successful and richer than you are.
And you feel that you are worthless.
Yeah.
I'm not good enough.
And you get this signal from your screens five or six hours every day.
And you have your friends' photos.
And for every photo on Instagram, there was a hundred photos that was discarded that you don't see.
And if that wasn't enough, you have a whole...
you have a whole army of Instagrammers and influencers who get paid to show their perfect life.
And what that signal sends to you is that I'm not good enough.
And then you feel lonely.
And then you feel like you're being pushed out of the group.
