Description
Community is meant to be a place of support.
But what happens when it also becomes a space of comparison?
In Episode 3 of The Psychology of Us, we explore the tension between connection and silent competition among Black women.
This conversation unpacks:
- The difference between genuine support and unspoken comparison
- How social media intensifies pressure and perception
- Respectability politics and the expectation to “present well”
- And how scarcity and environment can shape how we see each other
You can be surrounded by people… and still feel like you’re measuring yourself.
This episode invites you to reflect on where you feel most like yourself…and where you feel like you’re performing.
