It's a eye-opening, life-altering topic. I see it as wearing a mask. We are fake to strangers all day, then come home and let our true selves out in a terrible way to the ones we love. Weird, huh? This has been a long journey for me. But I think it's something we all struggle with because it is part of a theory called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. It's a pyramid of basic human needs, or what all humans need to survive. This topic nearly spans all sections, and goes high in the chart. We need to feel like we are "normal" or fit in. We want a good reputation to be able to fit in and have ppl like us and have a lot of friends or following. (Especially as "like-culture" grows). Even in self-actualization- we want to have good morals as according to other people's morals. My favorite quote is "When you give yourself permission to be yourself, you allow others to be themselves". unknown.
