A short YouTube clip by TJ Walker arguing that humans are naturally preoccupied with how others perceive them and that social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) amplifies this tendency. Walker urges viewers to resist seeking online validation and to adopt what he calls the ‘TJ Walker habit’ of not needing everyone to like you.
As human beings, we are hardwired to think about, to care about how others perceive us. When it was just a small tribe, that was one thing, but now with Twitter and Facebook and other social media outlets, it can be overwhelming. Our brains are being hijacked by constantly worrying about who's liking us and who's retweeting us. You've got to actively fight to stop them. That impulse. You don't have to have the world like you. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
