A previous guest on this podcast called MoGout at said, we're unhappy when our expectations of how we think life is supposed to be going are unmet. And in that, there's something very sort of linked what you just said there, which is we have this external expectation set by Instagram or whatever, by people like us. If someone wants to be admired, they think, well, I need to be like Alex, right? But then I could be working in a shop, actually, objectively, like subjectively, having a great time in the shop. But I look up at Alex and go, my life sucks. So it's very difficult because of the pressure effects.
