Episode 18 - Is the vanity culture of blogging exposing the wound of belonging?

The wound of not belonging is one of the biggest wounds carried by people and our feeling of self worth can be rattled to the core when this wound is triggered. For people who correlate their social post numbers and likes with their own personal popularity this truly is a sign of their self-worth being linked to a belief that “I am popular because I have a lot of followers on social media”. To the person who has low self-esteem this unfortunate belief can make them feel not good enough if they consider they don’t have a large enough following. They lose the ability to listen to their gut instinct and may do anything to satisfy their need for more and more followers.
