Lesson Overview

11.03 – Why Likes and Comments Trigger Anxiety: The chase for online approval feels thrilling at first but can turn into emotional dependence. Every like or comment signals social acceptance, yet when engagement slows down, it can cause anxiety or rejection. Your brain links validation to identity, making it easy to doubt yourself when feedback changes. Understanding that algorithms—not people—often control visibility can help separate worth from numbers. Confidence built on internal values lasts longer than attention built on metrics. Reflect on why certain reactions matter so much to you and practice letting go of digital applause. When you detach from constant validation, real confidence can grow. Replace comparison with creativity, and focus on sharing what expresses you, not what pleases others. Peace comes from realizing that approval is temporary but self-respect can be permanent.
