When a person pays too much attention to 'me in the eyes of others', he will gradually forget the 'real me'. Rebuilding self-awareness requires going through the three stages of 'awareness-acceptance-reconstruction'. "
Sociologist Wang Qiang analyzed: "In an era dominated by algorithms,The speed of human alienation is unprecedented. While we enjoy technological conveniences, we also bear the risk of being defined by data. Maintaining a clear sense of self has become a compulsory course for modern survival. "
