In this episode, I discuss how modern society has become increasingly difficult for people to live “casually” or naturally. In the past, social belonging often mattered more than personality itself. Today, however, people are constantly evaluated based on their character, online image, and social presence. Social media and internet culture encourage endless “personality management,” where individuals carefully balance authenticity, likability, and self-presentation. Too much individuality can lead to criticism, while being too safe makes people invisible. I explore how this creates emotional exhaustion and why many people feel socially drained today. This episode examines the hidden pressure of living in a “personality management society.”
