Social groups play a big role in shaping who we are. However, this can sometimes be tricky.
Let’s break it down:

Secondary Groups: These are bigger groups, like schools or clubs. They often feel less personal. In these settings, we might compete with others, which can lead to stress and lower our confidence.
