Much of what we do is measured by how it will appear to others.

“What will people think if I only marry in my 40s?”

“Will people judge me for my shitty car ?”

“What will people see me as if I don’t have a stable job?”

Some people may judge you. Or talk about you behind your back. Some might even bring it up with you directly.

But he majority of our social measures are in our own head.

It’s us judging ourselves by how we think other people will judge us.

And in reality most people are too worried about themselves anyway to deeply care about what others are doing.

The best way to beat the social measure is not to outperform it, but by realising that it’s only a construct that we build for ourselves
