Abandoning online trends, young people focus on self-development

Following and participating in trends on social media platforms has become a habit in the lives of young people. However, more and more young people are realizing that focusing on self-development is the real key to sustainable success.

It seems like every day there can be a new trend in all aspects of life. Besides studying and working, young people have to spend a lot of time on these trends to avoid feeling "out of date" or "disconnected"...

The benefits of abandoning online trends and fads

However, in reality, trends that appear on social networking platforms are often temporary.

Trends and movements are like ocean waves, one wave pushes the other, constantly changing due to the impact of many factors.

More and more young people are realizing that following short-term trends like this often does not bring long-term value.

From there, you choose to focus on self-development, improving skills, cultivating professional knowledge, to be able to create a solid foundation for the future.

Following trends also makes young people lose their own identity. Therefore, many young people try to build their personal brand in their own way, linked to their interests, passions and strengths, avoiding the influence of the general trends of the majority, in order to create sustainable personal values.

In addition, having to follow trends makes many young people feel fake, having to force themselves to create fake, perfect versions, when they are under too much pressure about appearance, life, and success.

Constantly following and participating in trends causes stress, insecurity, FOMO (fear of missing out) and peer pressure.

These are all negative emotions and young people feel the need to seek a healthier lifestyle, less comparison, and focus on taking care of their inner strength.

No worries about losing connection

Of course, living in the current media society, if you ignore "hot" information and social media trends, you may encounter some small difficulties in connecting with friends and colleagues.

However, we still have many ways to maintain social connections without having to chase what is "hot".

We can connect through common interests (reading, music , sports fashion, games, etc.) or common activities such as: sports events, charity, seminars, eating, shopping, etc.

We can also be proactive in suggesting new trends, by proactively introducing new values, interests and ideas to friends and colleagues.

Developing and maintaining relationships also requires knowing how to share personal opinions naturally, skillfully, sincerely, connecting through practical actions, and helping each other.

Supporting friends and colleagues in their work or life issues creates a strong connection, rather than just sharing about trendy trends.

Finally, let us remember that not following trends does not mean being completely isolated. In fact, many young people have, are, and will build and seek out communities with similar values ​​of self-development, creativity, and together create a life that is not dependent on temporary trends.

A generation with a longer-term vision

Not following fads can have long-term benefits, not only for individual young people, but also for creating a generation with a long-term vision.

When not caught up in the rapidly changing trends on social media platforms, young people have time to develop themselves in a deep, focused, and grounded way, helping them to confidently move forward.

They have the opportunity to create personal values ​​with their own unique identity, thanks to their ability to think independently and creatively, not limited by the trends of the majority. From here, a generation with long-term vision, foresight, and the ability to forecast and plan to invest time and effort in long-term goals will be created.

In particular, young people who do not follow trends will also be less affected by the consequences of trends. Minimizing the negative influence of social networks helps young people maintain confidence, better mental health, and a more harmonious and sustainable life.
