Are you able to differentiate between your actual beliefs and what beliefs society programs you to have?

I call bullshit on some of these yeses

For sure I'm not afraid to have my own beliefs even if they aren't normalized in our society. I will say tho like with religion I grew up with it and the brainwashing ran sooo deep. In my adult years I've really had to work on stopping that and finding what I acutally believe instead of just reading a 2000 year old book and blindly following it

@Kingofkings1992 def BS on some of these yeses here because I've been called crazy so many times on this site for having my own random opinions and not having a opinion that is normal based on what society pushes

It’s unfortunate, but while many people believe they are following their actual beliefs, sometimes they’ve been conditioned to accept beliefs espoused by the media.

Anyone with critical thinking skills is usually able to differentiate them

[Kingofkings1992]

no, most people do things because of societal expectations

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yes, people do a lot of things as a result of societal expectations. That’s not what you asked, you asked if someone could tell the difference between doing things society told them to do/believe and their actual personality beyond that mold. I’m explaining how someone can be able to take part in that thought process to be able to separate their inner monologue from the things they are taught.

It’s tied to what the question topic was

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It’s not conflicting with my original answer
