Influencers draw attention by posting things that sound like advice or deep life insights, but they are really just carefully crafted engagement hacks to illicit inadequacy anxieties. By feeling threatened, you are more likely to engage with agreeable action (to signal that you are not inadequate) or defensive action (to justify your life).

You're okay. You are at least more okay than people who have to manipulate dopamine responses for a living.
