People who lack personal conviction are those who haven’t developed a strong sense of their own values and beliefs, or who struggle to act in accordance with them. This can manifest as indecisiveness, a tendency to be easily swayed by others, or difficulty making decisions, particularly in situations where there are no clear external rules.
Lack of Personal Values:
No Guiding Principles:
People without strong convictions may not have a clear set of values to guide their actions.
Easily Influenced:
They might be easily swayed by the opinions or behaviors of others, lacking the internal compass to navigate social situations or make independent choices
Difficulty Making Decisions:
Without a strong sense of self, making choices, even small ones, can be challenging
Consequences of Lacking Conviction:
Indecisiveness:
A lack of conviction can lead to chronic indecisiveness, making it hard to commit to plans or goals.
Low Self-Esteem:
Constantly seeking external validation can erode self-confidence and lead to feelings of inadequacy.
Vulnerability to Manipulation:
People without strong convictions can be more susceptible to being manipulated or taken advantage of by others.
Feeling Lost and Aimless:
A lack of personal conviction can leave individuals feeling like they lack purpose or direction in life.
Reasons for Lacking Conviction:
Negative Past Experiences:
Trauma, abuse, or a lack of positive reinforcement as a child can hinder the development of self-worth and conviction.
Poor Role Models:
Growing up with inconsistent or absent role models can make it difficult to form a strong sense of self.
Anxiety and Depression:
Mental health issues can significantly impact a person’s ability to form and act on personal convictions.
Negative Self-Talk:
Internalizing negative messages and beliefs about oneself can create a cycle of self-doubt and indecisiveness.
Societal Pressures:
Constantly comparing oneself to others and feeling the pressure to conform to societal expectations can also undermine personal convictions

I quit Facebook all the way back in 2015 with similar results
Leaving Reddit gave me similar mental health relief as it did when I left Facebook
- Comment on My brain is acting like a junkie who hasn't had their anger fix 2 weeks ago:
I have only been gone from reddit for just over 6 months. Today I made the mistake of browsing it, there is so much misinformation, noise, and hate. After scrolling for about 10 minutes I realized that I hadn’t seen anything of substance that I hadn’t already seen on Lemmy
I really don’t feel like I’m missing anything by leaving reddit

Supposedly they’re meant to help prevent corrosion, but it’s really more up to where the car is being driven
I’ve seen cars without them and zero corrosion and cars with them with serious rust issues
It just depends on how much salt the car is exposed to over its life
