In this episode, we talk about how perception shapes our entire life. Dr. Vikas Divyakirti explains how people often see him as “too serious,” while in reality, he’s fun, active in sports, and very different from the image created around him. He says society keeps telling us to be “ideal” , good at dance, sports, grooming, and understanding people but trying to be ideal only makes life harder. It’s much better to simply be a comfortable and real human being. We also discuss self-esteem and how many of us feel shy to ask for help because of an unconscious fear of “kya chukaana padega?” Some people struggle to say no easily, and that can become a lifelong burden. Vikas talks about how being known publicly means even small issues get highlighted like when CCPA fined many institutions but the spotlight came only on him. The episode then moves into relationships, evolution, and loneliness. How men and women choose partners is mostly driven by evolutionary psychology, not logic. Most relationships run on cost-benefit analysis, and marriage may reduce in the future. We talk about why people cheat because of the clash between our genes that push us to seek variety and a society that demands monogamy and “sanskaar.” Subscribe for more such conversations!
