I hate being controlled

Maybe I’m spiraling from the TikTok ban but In todays world It feels like everything you set out to do needs approval from someone and I’m sick of It I just wanna be young free, like they used to be 😭

That’s It, thank you for coming to my ted talk

2025/1/20 Edited to

In today's fast-paced society, many people resonate with feelings of frustration stemming from a lack of personal autonomy. The influence of social media platforms like TikTok has created a landscape where approval is often sought for even the smallest actions. This pressure can lead to overwhelming feelings of being controlled, especially among young individuals. Furthermore, the ongoing TikTok ban discussions have sparked debates around freedom of expression and the implications of censorship. As more people become aware of these dynamics, it's essential to explore ways to reclaim our independence and embrace the freedom to be ourselves. The conversation continues as we navigate these challenges and seek to redefine what it means to be truly free in a world filled with external expectations.
