In China, in many people's gatherings, frequently discussing grand national or global issues is not entirely out of genuine public concern, but often a substitute expression for personal circumstances. Compared to discussions centered around tangible interests such as taxes, healthcare, and employment, these topics are more abstract and less connected to individual lives, often reflecting a psychological compensation for the lack of stable sources of value in reality—relying on attachment to larger narratives to maintain self-esteem and a sense of meaning. Because traditional evaluation systems have long depended on achievements, wealth, and status, once these external supports become fragile, people are prone to fall into identity anxiety and turn to "bigger topics" to support themselves. However, this approach essentially only alleviates emotions but cannot improve reality, and may even become an obstacle to escaping oneself and real problems. The truly sustainable way out lies in establishing a self-esteem that does not depend on external comparisons, acknowledging the fundamental value of "being human," so that even without titles and resources, individuals can still possess boundaries, expression, and dignity—thus truly beginning to face and manage their own lives.
