In today’s digital age, many people find themselves checking their phones every few minutes, often driven by the fear of missing out on something important This constant need to stay connected

The impact of tech addiction is not just psychological but also physical Constantly engaging with devices can cause severe distractions, impairing the ability to focus on important tasks, whether at school,

this behavior may also extend to disrupted sleep patterns, as screen time before bed can interfere with
the body's natural circadian rhythms
To tackle tech addiction, it is important to cultivate healthier relationships with technology, starting with learning how to disconnect intentionally One effective strategy is setting specific limits on

answer to each of the following questions
When everyone around you seems to follow the same trend, make the same choices, or chase similar goals, it's easy to feel like you should do the same Peer pressure can feel like something pushing
people — especially teenagers and young adults — into decisions they might not truly believe in It can
influence everything from fashion and hobbies to risky behaviors like drinking or cheating
At its core, peer pressure works by triggering fear — the fear of missing out, being judged, or not belonging This fear often leads people to ignore their own values or instincts in order to feel accepted
However, mental health experts say the strongest form of confidence comes not from pleasing others,
but from learning to trust your own voice Self-awareness and inner strength are key to resisting negative
pressure When we know what matters to us and why, we're less likely to be swayed by the opinions of
others
Learning not to care too much about others’ judgments is not about being cold or distant — it’s about self-respect When people constantly worry about others’ opinions, they may live a life shaped by
fear instead of freedom A study shows that individuals who are internally motivated — driven by purpose
or curiosity — tend to be more creative and less stressed than those who seek constant approval Being
true to yourself may not always be easy, butit builds long-term resilience
In a world that constantly tells you.who to be, sta ing rue to yourself is a quiet act of courage
Overcoming peer pressure isn't always POLLEN EG no, to friends — it's about saying yes to your own
values If we learn to overcome our inner doubts and stop living for others’ approval, we can build a life
that feels truly our own Because in the end, the most important person you'll ever impress is yourself

[I] If you have doubts about yourself, you're not alone [II] In fact, clinical psychologist Ronald D
Siegel has heard them from many of the clients he’s worked with and has grappled with them himself,
despite being an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School [III] In fact, most of us live our daily lives
with constant thoughts about whether they are doing well enough: at school, at work, or in social
situations [IV]
Although constantly evaluating our worth is exhausting, it’s also very human To win the evolutionary race and reproduce, early humans had to compete with others for status, Siegel explains
Comparing ourselves to others was once a survival skill Today, concerns about our adequacy can take
different forms Maybe you want to feel special and get good grades, or be attractive and make more
money Maybe you just want to have many friends Or maybe what's important to you is feeling educated,
creative, and talented enough
In response to these, Siegel explains, we try to do everything we can to prove to ourselves and others that we are these things: good, generous, strong, successful, sexy But that doesn’t work very well
Research suggests that people who pursue external rewards like fame, power, wealth, and beauty in order
to be popular are more anxious, depressed, and aN
personal growth, relationships, and helping Othersyao « vsny py)
When our goals are external like that, we may find ourselves falling short all the time There
ompared to those who are focused on
are always people doing better, so we can feel constantly judged And if we ever hit a goal we had set for
ourselves, we often just raise the bar again “Always performing, we rarely get a break to feel content or
at peace,” Siegel writes in his book Over time, the pain from not feeling “good enough” builds up,
creating sadness or shame that can be easily triggered Siegel suggests imagining a day where you're not
worried about proving yourself or being perfect — just enjoying what's in front of you That kind of peace,
he says, is possible when we stop chasing approval and start accepting ourselves
