Are the thoughts I am having right now really my thoughts?

We are losing more and more in our workplaces, communities, and social media.
The Psychology of Authenticity: How to Rediscover Our Self

So that I don't disappear while looking around
Now it's time to learn a voice for myself!

Your 'empathy' may be false!
A psychologist's provocative questions lead to new insights.
Uncovering the hidden truth behind 'cancel culture' and 'self-censorship' on social media!

These days, they say, 'It's a world where one slip of the tongue can send you into ruin.'
A culture that fails to embrace differing opinions and only pushes towards extremes affects us all and threatens society.
The pressures of groupthink operate everywhere—at home, at school, at work—but the cancel culture that prevails on social media makes it even more extreme.
The Internet has connected the world, but it has made free communication and expression increasingly difficult, and we have become more cautious.
For fear of being criticized, of being told we're wrong, of people disliking us, we become more and more cautious with our words.
But the more that happens, the more I disappear along with it.
Is your "empathy" truly real? It's time to face the truth.
This book, based on psychological insights, clearly diagnoses the reasons why we censor ourselves and ultimately choose silence.
Furthermore, it suggests ways to recognize and overcome these problems ourselves, and practices for overcoming fear and genuine communication with others.
A timely guide for all of us who want to choose dialogue over silence.

While cancel culture online generates provocative headlines, an atmosphere of self-silencing quietly seeps into our daily lives, leaving people living in fear, both online and offline.
--- From "The Roots of the Culture of Self-Silence"

We live in psychologically dangerous times, where people are afraid to question, explore, and discuss things openly.
These processes can be the force that unites people.

--- From "The Effects of Groupthink"

We've all seen someone we know get caught up in an idea or group that started on a platform like X, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook.
It can manifest in a variety of ways, from relatively harmless fandom phenomena centered around beauty trends like face yoga to serious cult ideologies that escalate into religious fanaticism.

One of the reasons we can't speak our minds is because we're afraid of losing our sense of belonging.
But the sense of belonging gained that way is not a true sense of belonging.
There are definitely ways to maintain relationships while still maintaining your authenticity.

--- From "The Courage to Stand Alone"

No one can be absolutely right.
Whether you are left, right, or centrist, there are people who think differently from you, yet are rational and have good intentions.
(Omitted) A person who is not intoxicated by his own thoughts and worships them as idols, placing them above the truth, will be willing to talk with people who see the world differently.

--- From "Embracing the Depth We Hold"

To counter the rigid view that sees humans as a single entity, I believe that consistent speaking and expression online are necessary.
In other words, we must constantly and accurately express that we are all changing and multi-layered beings.
