22 Things Society Values That Are Totally Overrated

RustyBuckler Published 12/14/2021 in facepalm

We value certain things in society that sometimes feel a bit like a gimmick. These standards don't seem to portray how we really feel. At r/AskReddit we found some societal values that are highly overrated.

1. Hustle culture, always being on the grind. I get some wild responses when I tell people I work under 40 hours a week and am thriving. Life should be more than work, even if I LOVE my job. -u/horrorharlot1199
2. Toxic productivity. Especially content creators who make money by selling an insane facade of a 20-something year old in peak mental and physical shape due to their 4am wake up routine and 25 hours of productivity each day. FOH -u/oceanofflavor
3. Lack of sleep. 'I only got 4 hours sleep last night'. Yeah grats on lowering your body's functionality I guess. -u/chronoslol
4. I can get a 2021 Kia Rio, or a Hyundai Accent, or a Nissan Versa, or a Chevrolet Spark for under $18,000 I can get a nice 2 carat diamond (0.4 grams) for about $18,000. How have we been brainwashed into believing that tiny stone is worth more than a car? -u/SiIentBOB
5. Vloggers with ugly, cringe, and lame content + their overly-scripted pranks. Seriously that’s a big sh*t. -u/imherecozidk
6. Cryptocurrency. I myself am a crypto holder but frankly most of the projects are just money grabs and re-skined ponzis -u/c7rbon909
7. The way we treat our celebrities because we treat them like gods or some other deity when they should be treated like any other normal human being and don't even get me started on how the Paparazzi are with them. -u/SP_21ones
8. Bottling up emotions and not asking for help when you need it. -u/ChutkiJoTuneMariHai
9. Treating politics like a sports game. People absolutely refuse to admit a politician they dislike did anything even remotely valuable in office, or that a politician they ‘like’ isn’t a good person. Not exclusive to any one side, and some people would miss the point of this comment entirely and say “lol so basically republicans/liberals amirite?” Then call everyone either racist, snowflakes, liberals, communist, hivemind, republitards, etc etc when they get downvoted. -u/PvtSmuffler
10. Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Tonys and other stupid awards. -u/Lord-AG
11. NFTs. Sorry people, but there’s no real value there. -u/PacoMahogany
12. Equating money to respect. Just because a beggar does not have money does not mean he does not deserve at least the bare minimum respect as a human being. -u/arc_alt
13. Designer perfume. The profit must be astronomical even with the overproduced and decadent adverts. -u/skitzofredik
14. "No matter what, they're still your parents. You have to respect them" -u/Strand-Aldwych
15. Alcoholism being glorified as fun and living life. -u/strangegeneration94
16. People who refer to themselves as "influencers". -u/drchigero
17. Weddings. Got married in the courthouse for 80 bucks. Best decision we ever made. -u/Thefakeblonde
18. The stress on the individual. We'd get so much further if we helped to nourish and develop every member of society. But, this is not the case... which will probably lead to WWIII, as we drain our planet of resources and point the pitchforks at whoever our government tells us to. -u/Aye_Aye_Ron2468
19. Owning a house too big you don't even use 3 or more rooms (excluding bathrooms) on a monthly basis. Owning more cars than there are people who can drive them. Wasting ton of water to water your grass so it stays green or to clean your parking spot for the 7th time this month. -u/WinterGlory
20. Designer clothes and handbags. You're paying all that money to wear a logo, you're just paying them to advertise their products. Clothes and bags made out of the same materials go for so much less if you're not getting those extremely well known brands. Same functionality, same comfort. -u/MentlPopcorn
21. Being strong and independent. Humans are strongest as social units. It has always been so. Badass lone wolves make for good fiction but often make for weak, dysfunctional people in real life. Almost all of the great civil and military feats in world history have been achieved by the greatness of teams, not individuals. -u/TallNerdLawyer
22. TikTok, a software product of China that's intensely invasive of your privacy. -u/deanfranz12
