NOTE

Achievement Aligns with Self-Worth

Feeling demoralized often stems from a gap between perceived achievements and reasonable expectations of one’s capabilities. Depression is not caused by comparisons to high-profile figures but rather by a lack of success compared to local peers. This perception influences self-esteem, leading to feelings of depression when one fails to meet personal benchmarks. Additionally, seeking love, admiration, or attention from individuals can exacerbate these feelings. It is essential to maintain realistic expectations and understand that personal desires may not align with others' perspectives.
