Social fluency has redefined our connected world today, and for many of us it is now a part of our identity. In this article published in Hindustan Times , I share my views on this constantly evolving topic.
Social fluency strongly influences the way your peers can control how you think and behave. You give importance to what others think of you more than what you really are. It influences how you project your image in society and want to be perceived. The branded clothes you use, the restaurants and clubs you are seen visiting, the social friends you keep. It starts giving you an air of superiority and confidence, even if superficial. This glamour and glitz does the trick to help form relationships. But will it lead to a strong and lasting one, that requires you to be vulnerable and open to your true self?
