They think that their social life in school is their whole life. This more often than not leads to bad decisions down the road, and a LOT of peer pressure. For example, a lot of shallow movies have this overused cliche where the main character becomes popular and forgets who they are and what they cherish. It’s only when one of their “friends” actually hurts their original friends/family that they realize what they’ve become. It’s overused, but a classic example of having so much power, it goes to your head. Believe it or not, I like having a low self-esteem, because it’s easier to be truthful about myself, it’s easier to make jokes about my weaknesses, and I usually don’t have to worry about praising myself too much in front of my friends if I’m almost always putting myself down. It sounds weird, but that’s how I see it. If I did become popular, that would change.
