The myth of equal opportunities and a diminished emphasis on human relatedness forewarn a depleted sense of personal worth and an increased feeling of shame. Many strive to compensate these utilizing the quickest and most quantifiable ways at their disposal. This atmosphere, as the following chapter shows, is conducive to objectification of self and others. The alienated individual perceives oneself through the lens of the other and thus may attempt to gain self-worth and validation from the other by misusing social media, undergoing plastic surgeries, or making certain purchases. However, the need to fill the psychological void and overcome perfectionism perpetuates. On the other hand, a long-term plan to create environments for children and adults that help them gain self-worth and a sense of appreciation for who they are as persons leads to the birth of psychological sustainability. Maintaining a sustainable psyche obviates the incessant need for external stimuli for valuing oneself.
