Why does it feel like just being yourself isn’t enough anymore?
In this mini episode of Clearly Clueless, we unpack the quiet but constant pressure to live an “interesting” life — to be cool, creative, successful, or at least aesthetic enough to be noticed.
From curated social media to everyday comparison traps, we talk about why so many of us feel the need to perform our lives — and what might happen if we stop.
If you’ve ever felt like your story isn’t big enough or your life isn’t “main character” material, this one’s for you.
Some days it feels like everyone’s racing ahead — building careers, falling in love, starting over, starting something — and you’re just… stuck. Drowning in unfinished to-do lists, unread messages, and this heavy, quiet feeling that you’re already behind before the day even starts. No one warned us how loud the pressure would be. Or how hard it is to not compare when it feels like everyone else has a timeline — and you’re still figuring out how to get through the week.This episode isn’t about fixing that. It’s just about naming it. Sitting with it. Laughing through it a little. You’re not alone in this. Join us and let's talk.
