...something that many people fear, because of the judgement.
I don't like this. We are brought up with the concern of what others say about us. As though, we should live as to others. Thus, we get accustomed to tear down others.
I don't know whether it is the same in other countries.
It is the same everywhere I assume and, definitely on the internet which plays such a role in so many lives, that it all spills over. We are already in the Metaverse :D
This will continue in Metaverse, too :)
