Behind the Social Mask

No cap , being fake is the new personality trait. Welcome to Fakeland, where everyone’s wearing a social mask, not for safety, but for social approval. Realness? Ghosted. Authenticity? Soft-blocked. Vulnerability? Left on read. It’s giving “fake it till you make it, but make it spiritual, aesthetic, and emotionally unavailable.

People don’t connect anymore they network Every “Let’s catch up soon” is basically “I’ll double-tap your story and dip.” We’re not talking, we’re trauma-dumping with zero intent to follow up. One day they’re commenting “ily bestieee” under your post, and the next? They’re dragging your name in the group chat like it’s a trending audio.

And don’t even get me started on the “deep souls” posting vague sad quotes with a mirror selfie like they just cured heartbreak. Bro, you’re not healing you’re hiding behind Canva fonts and moody filters.

We live in a world where everyone’s soft-launching their toxicity. Friendships are curated like IG grids looks good outside, but inside? Dead battery, no signal. People will match your energy, just to drain it. “Check on your friends” is the anthem, but y’all out here sending hearts instead of help.

It’s all performative loyalty with a sprinkle of “look at me caring” energy. Everyone wants to be real until real requires effort. Until it’s not fun. Until it’s not cute. Until someone actually needs you to show up without posting it.

Why is everyone like this? Because fake gets claps. Fake gets clout. Fake is pretty. Real is raw. Real is messy. Real makes people uncomfy, and in this aesthetic-obsessed era, being uncomfortable isn’t cute for the feed.

But guess what? Real still hits different. Be the text they don’t expect. Be the reply that’s honest. Be the unfiltered face in a world of blur tools. Be rare. Because in a world full of clones and highlight reels, the real ones may be extinct but when they show up?

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...

Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities . They have ruled over empires ably and effectively. Besides capable administration they were notable poets, scholars, artist and regional leaders .  After reading this I believe, you would feel as if on cloud 9 and yes, you would have felt kinda queer.  However, I feel subp...

Brain Drain and It's Impact

Hey readers.I am Safa. Hope you are doing good.Today, I am going to elucidate about  brain drain. A few weeks back Indian born techie replaced Jack Dorsey as CEO of twitter and at the same time Indian born economist  was promoted as the first deputy managing director of the IMF. They  both have added their names to a growing list at the prominent global  organisation. It can be looked from two perspectives. On one hand, people believe something to feel proud and Indians are successful  in foreign countries. On the other hand, people have named it as “BRAIN DRAIN”. You may be awed! "Do Indians build brand names or do they represent the lost Indian talent?" Yes, you might feel staggered to hear that since 2016, six lakh Indians have given up their citizenship and since 2014, 23,000 millionaires have left India. India is the second most populous country where talent is something that it has in abundance and it should not really be such a big deal. Yet, it is limiti...
