The Real Addiction of Self Righteous Indignation and Jealousy
Society's increasing reliance on chaos, drama, and anger is evident in social media, where self-righteous indignation acts as a prevalent addiction. This leads to an atmosphere of constant emotional conflict, reminiscent of past behaviors viewed negatively today, like smoking indoors. Engaging in online disputes can create a rush of adrenaline, triggering a defensive and harmful physiological state. Rather than direct confrontation, which used to provide immediate consequences for negative behavior, individuals now face the repercussions of unchecked online aggression. Jealousy emerges as a common reaction to others' successes, often perceived as a time-consuming and ineffective emotional drain. Some view jealousy as a potential motivator, yet it ultimately hinders personal growth. Recognizing the possibility of success in others' achievements can shift mindset from jealousy to inspiration. Those who struggle to see others' successes as attainable often lack the belief in their own capabilities. Difficult life experiences can build resilience and gratitude, contrasting the fragility of those with seemingly easier lives. Adversity fosters gratitude and acceptance, revealing that the challenges faced can enhance one’s strength and perspective. Adrenaline-driven behaviors, characteristic of contemporary life, further complicate emotional well-being, linking adrenaline and dopamine in a cycle that perpetuates negative feelings.
