NESTA LIÇÃO
Neste episódio, Paul Robertson explora a complexa busca pela "selfie perfeita" e seus efeitos psicológicos, especialmente em adolescentes. Ele discute como as redes sociais incentivam a criação de uma versão idealizada e cuidadosamente editada de si mesmo, o que leva à ansiedade, baixa autoestima e perfeccionismo prejudicial. Robertson destaca o crescente problema da "dismorfia das selfies" e as pressões cada vez maiores para apresentar uma imagem impecável online. Ele também oferece conselhos práticos para que os adultos ajudem os jovens a navegar no mundo digital, enfatizando a importância de reduzir a dependência das redes sociais e estimular conexões na vida real.
