«The Culture of Total Information» — people around us aren’t just interested; they feel it’s normal to know everything: from plans to moods.
Sometimes it feels like the world has turned into a massive room where everyone is simultaneously reaching out and asking, «What’s going on? Tell me!» The moment you take a step aside—someone immediately notices, asks again, seeks clarification, wanting to know where, why, with whom, and what will happen next. This isn’t always driven by malice or envy—more often, it’s a habit of keeping up. It’s as if if you don’t share, you’ll fall out of the collective flow, become a little less visible. And this makes things feel a bit suffocating—you just want to be alone with yourself, but the air already feels occupied by other people’s questions.
