Understanding Imperfection

Good afternoon friends of the Italian Steem community, how are you all, welcome back to my place this afternoon and I want to talk about We live in a world today where social media makes everything look perfect, to be honest, everything and everyone can't be perfect and it's time we accept it.

If you don't know, imperfection is what makes us human, let's start accepting our mistakes and shortcomings. The pressure to be perfect can always lead to depression and feelings of inadequacy. We live in a society that often worships success and perfection, many people struggle to accept themselves. However, recognizing our imperfections helps us to grow in self-acceptance and compassion.

When we accept our flaws, we can always develop a more genuine sense of self that will lead to mental improvement and good relationships with others. When we accept our imperfections, there will be a change in perspective that will encourage us to not see our imperfections as flaws but as important aspects of our originality.

When we strive too hard for perfection, it will lead to unrealistic expectations such as setting some kind of goals for ourselves and when we don’t meet them, we feel hopeless and inadequate. Also, striving for perfection can lead to comparison in the sense that social media amplifies the tendency to compare.

On social media, people only show the best version of their lives and show off their accomplishments while downplaying their struggles and failures. Many people don’t even know this and they keep comparing their lives to others.

They start to feel inferior in their own lives. Mind you, this isn’t to say that some people don’t get what they have on a platter of gold on social media, but not everyone gets everything good on a platter of gold. When you constantly compare, it will lead to nothing but low self-esteem and you will always feel like you don’t measure up to the perceived standards. Focus on yourself and your journey, okay.

In conclusion, let's learn to accept our imperfections, and stop trying to be perfect in a detrimental way. Let's be more authentic and resilient. Most importantly, our imperfections make us unique. Don't make perfection a goal, but just enjoy the journey of being yourself, that's my discussion today, and I hope my friends are entertained by today's discussion, it's useful, thank you, greetings.
