How a Society That Demands Everything Leaves Us Feeling Nothing

Exploring the weight of endless expectations and the struggle to find meaning.

We live in a world that demands everything from us—success, independence, perfection—but leaves little room for our humanity. My latest story on Medium, “How a Society That Demands Everything Leaves Us Feeling Nothing,” explores the quiet struggle of navigating a life where expectations outweigh authenticity.

This piece is raw, personal, and reflective. It captures moments of survival, the numbing pain of emptiness, and the hard truth about healing. It’s for anyone who has ever felt lost in the noise of life or haunted by the quiet when it’s gone.

    Very true Mehmet, as society not only demands everything but wants everyone,
    (that’s you) to become someone. This continual running after some sort of ideal of who we think we should become is the ultimate neurosis of all of us, unless we fight this conditioning within ourselves that somehow, somewhere in some distant future we must be someone other than who we are, we will never ever feel contented, fulfilled and at peace. Yes, society certainly promises much in the name of success but never delivers on its promise.

      I appreciate your thoughtful take, it resonates with the themes I aimed to highlight in this post. Society’s demands often feel endless, and breaking free from those pressures is a journey so many of us can relate to. Thank you for sharing your insights.
