And it's important that we care about that so that we stop doing rude things.

You know, if we make a joke that's kind of out of touch, kind of embarrassing, kind of missed the mark, people are going to make a weird face at us.

And it's important that we notice that.

I think to a certain extent, it's inevitable that other people are going to impact the way that we see ourselves.

However, we can take it too far to the point where our self-worth is tied up in other people's opinions about us.

This isn't beneficial.

This isn't like someone calling us an asshole because we did something rude and then us being like, huh, maybe I am kind of an asshole.

I need to work on that.

I think when it becomes harmful is when it's taken too far.

It kind of reminds me of anxiety.

It's like anxiety is a human emotion, experience, feeling.

It's a feeling that we have evolved to have

Because we as a species want to protect ourselves.

And anxiety, apparently originally, was like an evolutionary response that would protect us from threat, right?

But now we have less threat, so we get anxiety about other things, I guess.

That's my understanding of how anxiety came to be in our silly little brains.

but it's kind of similar to this in a way.

A long time ago, maybe socially things were a little bit less complicated.

And so, you know, there was no internet a really long time ago when our brains were wired.

Maybe there were, there weren't like the same types of beauty standards.
