Anxiety about status

• May 12, 2024

Recently I was recommended to watch a documentary of Anxiety Due to Status of Alain de Botton and really put me to thinking: What we do has to do with what we like or rather have that job to have a higher status?

Does the car we have or want to have really make us happy, or are we chasing a status symbol so that others can recognize us and treat us better?

Is the clothes we buy because we like it or is it to show something to others? Is our house to feel comfortable or to be a status symbol?

But, why does anxiety arise?

The anxiety has different connotations, but in the anxiety Social , which is the point we are talking about in this article, is because we "pretend" that external factors, such as social position, house, car, clothing brand, etc., give us the happiness that we do not have inside. One of the keys to being happy is being yourself and not comparing yourself to anyone.

The judgments we have towards others and towards ourselves are great barriers to evolve and / or transcend; we allow external opinions to determine our self esteem Y emotional health , when we must remember that we are worthy for our essence and not for possessions or professional positions.

It is very distressing to live thinking that "we have to" or "we must" act in a certain way, dress in a certain way, have certain things or form certain relationships in order to be seen with a high status.

Surely there are things we do or we have that genuinely convince us, and there are others that we have adopted by "autopilot", that we could get rid of them and be happier.

Definitely something that we can discard or minimize is what others think of us. Nobody knows us better than ourselves, so what others think about how or what you should do or should have is totally irrelevant up to a point.

Alain de Botton He comments that having more present our mortality is easier to pay less attention to the status and what others think of our lives. How do you think it affects us in our life? anxiety for the status? Do you want to know more topics of interest? Meet me at: tumejorversiondti.com/blog/
