A young student fails an exam and concludes, "I’m worthless."
A mid-career professional scrolls through social media and feels left behind. A parent tries endlessly to be perfect, yet lies awake wondering, "Am I enough?" Different ages, same suffering: irrational thinking disguised as self-criticism.
We live surrounded by information but starved of reflection. The pressure to perform, the anxiety of comparison, and the endless noise of digital life leave us confused and restless. The result is a new epidemic of self-doubt, burnout, and perfectionism. Albert Ellis saw this long before hashtags and headlines. Through Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), he revealed a truth as sharp today as ever: It’s not what happens to us, but what we think about it. In a world addicted to approval and outrage, this principle is not just therapeutic-it’s revolutionary. Disclaimer
