Social norms are important as they provide a framework for how people interact and communicate with each other, but it’s also important to remember that these norms can change and evolve.
Different cultures and communities may also have their own unique set of norms and customs. It’s okay to question and challenge norms if they don’t align with your values and beliefs. However, it’s important to do so in a respectful manner and to be mindful of the impact your actions may have on others.
It’s a delicate balance between adhering to social norms and standing up for what you believe in. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual to find the right balance that works for them.
Here are some examples of things society considers to be “bad” but actually aren’t, as shared in this viral AskReddit thread.
