Listen "How much of your life is influenced by celebrities?"
Episode Synopsis
Hi There! This is Harsh Patel, the host of this podcast, Within 5 Minutes.
The third episode talks about how much celebrity culture affects us.
Today, we scroll through the photos of the rich, famous people who spend thousands of dollars on their plastic surgeries, skincare products, nutritionists, and trainers.
All this is not visible to us because their social media is so perfectly curated to show you only what they want you to see. That’s a very powerful statement.
You see only what they want you to see.
There is a subconscious desire in humans to idolize anything that is stronger, better, richer, more beautiful, and powerful than the rest. But you need to remember that celebrities are like you and me. They eat, drink, sleep, think and feel like everybody else. This is not to say that you should unfollow celebrities completely, but being armed with the knowledge of how social media celebrity culture affects you, consciously and unconsciously, is key.
I would like you to do something that I will do myself as well. Filter out all the celebrities that do not have a positive influence and cut them out. You might finally shed that underlying feeling of not being good enough once you stop comparing and caring so deeply about them.
