Part 5/9:
The idea that true freedom emerges from independence from social validation is liberating. When one chooses whom to engage with and when to do so, rather than succumbing to societal expectations, an inner strength is cultivated. Individuals who embrace this philosophy often become enigmatic to those who remain ensnared by the need for validation. They command respect through their authenticity and independence.

Social media platforms fuel this phenomenon, urging individuals to seek constant validation through likes and comments. If one’s existence hinges on the approval of others, true liberation remains elusive.
