Social thinking dilutes most personal power.

Social thinking dilutes most personal power.

Summary

This quote suggests that excessive focus on societal norms and expectations can diminish an individual's personal power. When one excessively concerns themselves with fitting into societal standards, they may compromise their authentic selves and their ability to express their true thoughts and beliefs. By constantly seeking validation and approval from others, personal power can be weakened, as it becomes influenced and constrained by external factors. This quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining autonomous thinking and staying true to oneself, rather than being overly influenced by social norms.
