Pressure to be “Socially Perfect”:
Norm:
The expectation to constantly present a positive and flawless image, often through social media or other means.
Why break it:
This pressure can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and a disconnect from authentic self.
Example:
Sharing vulnerable or imperfect moments, rather than only showcasing a polished version of oneself.
Prioritizing External Validation:
Norm:
Seeking approval from others above all else.
Why break it:
This can lead to a dependence on external validation and a lack of self-confidence.
Example:
Making decisions based on your own values and beliefs, even if they differ from what others may expect.
