NUGGETS: Bite-Sized Lessons to Help You Live, Lead, and Think Better23 Loka

Why Being Ignored Hurts More Than Being Hated

Is being ignored worse than being hated?

We all want to feel seen, heard and valued. But what happens when that perfectly human need turns into a desperate hunger for attention?

From social media and our obsession with likes and recognition to angry young people, destructive behaviour and a rather expensive parenting lesson involving a brand-new television, this episode asks an uncomfortable question: Have we become a society of attention seekers?

Pellegrino Riccardi and François Sibbald explore why being invisible can hurt so much, why even negative attention can sometimes feel better than none at all, and whether we've become so busy trying to be somebody that we've forgotten how to simply be ourselves.

Along the way, there are personal confessions, plenty of humour and one surprisingly liberating thought:

Maybe it's time to stop performing and just be ordinary.

NUGGETS explores the everyday psychology of being human through honest conversations, different perspectives, humour and practical ideas, all served in bite-sized episodes of around 20–25 minutes.
