Dual Discussion: Reputation and Public Opinion on the Balance, Should I Not Care About It?

In our societies, reputation and what others say are among the most important drivers of behavior for the majority of individuals, and among the main deterrents preventing them from engaging in many actions—even if they are personally convinced of them. Here, individuals consider "what people think" to an extent that may surpass their consideration of themselves, ranging from daily behaviors to life-changing decisions. Many of us do not necessarily view this as negative, given that humans are inherently "social beings," and thus have little control over not caring about others' opinions of them. We will discuss this matter from entirely different angles, attempting to dive deep into the idea, broadening our perspectives and expressing our thoughts in a space free from stigma and labels. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another individual for 9-10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest ideas, then move to another person until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will form groups (3-4 people) to continue discussions on the same topic. ⏳ Time: Sunday, September 14, from 8:15 PM to 10:45 PM. We will remain available afterward for informal conversations. 📍 Location: Coffee Planet 💰 Fees: Only 30 SAR Transfer via STC PAY to this number: 0556349749 ⚖️ Meeting Rules: ✔️ Discussion is open to all opinions, with respect for differing viewpoints ✔️ We focus our discussion on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ We kindly ask punctual attendance
