Why Should You Depend on Other People?
Introduction
Our self-perception is often shaped by how others view us. Positive acknowledgment makes us feel empowered and intelligent, while criticism can leave us feeling inadequate. However, it's important to recognize that we can't please everyone?"and we shouldn't strive to.
Relying on Others’ Opinions
Humans have a natural tendency to rely on others' opinions. When praised, we feel successful and attractive. Conversely, criticism can lead to feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness, often because our actions aren't accepted by society. It's crucial to remember that complete approval from everyone is impossible. Building self-confidence can help mitigate the impact of criticism.
The Student Example
Consider a student who is consistently praised and begins to see themselves as exceptionally talented. This positive feedback can create high expectations. However, when faced with criticism or failure, it can be devastating. This is often because personal validation was overly dependent on external praise.
The issue arises when our values and priorities are built solely on others’ opinions. Instead, it's vital to develop a personal value system that considers social standards but ultimately relies on your judgments. Failures should serve as opportunities to grow and learn.
Embracing Reality
Societal influence is unavoidable, but it doesn’t mean you should withdraw into a world of illusions. Challenges build experience, wisdom, and resilience. The more you retreat into depression, the more opportunities for improvement you miss. Facing reality head-on, however harsh, is essential for personal growth.
Conclusion
While society's opinions influence us, developing a strong sense of self is crucial. Embrace failures as learning experiences, and build your value system to guide your decisions. This approach leads to a more fulfilling and resilient life.
