The Unfiltered Human on the Fringe - Episode - 36 - Echo Chambers - Why We Seek Reflection, Not Truth

Why does affirmation feel safer than truth?

This episode explores the comfort and the danger of echo chambers. From online spaces to real-life groups, we look at why being mirrored feels good, even when it keeps us stuck.

I’ll share personal reflections on moments where belonging came at the cost of honesty, alongside psychological insights into conformity, confirmation bias, group polarisation, and the pull of identity.

Because real connection isn’t about endless echoes, it’s about the courage to face what’s true, even when it challenges us.

✨ Themes: Belonging, Conformity, Truth, Identity

🪞 Reflection vs. Reality
