Why Being Yourself Feels So Hard in 2025

In a world that’s always watching, being yourself can feel like the hardest thing to do. This episode explores the weight of performance—on social media, in relationships, and within ourselves. We dive into the pressure to “look happy” online, the trap of comparing our real relationships to someone else’s filtered love story, and the struggle of maintaining our identity while trying to be what others expect. From digital intimacy to emotional detachment, we unpack how modern love is evolving—and how social media is shaping who we choose to be, and who we feel allowed to love. Whether you’ve been questioning your authenticity, your relationship, or your place in a world obsessed with appearances—this conversation is a mirror worth looking into.
