I’m fine - Youth’s silent scream | GIA LINH TRAN | TEDxDragon Bridge Youth
In the talk I’m Fine - Youth’s Silent Scream, the speaker reflects on the pressure to appear fine despite internal struggles. They recount personal experiences of hiding their emotions, saying "I'm fine" even when exhausted and overwhelmed, out of fear of seeming weak or burdensome. In a world where social media often presents a perfect facade, the speaker challenges the notion that pretending to be okay is normal, emphasizing that vulnerability can actually bring people closer. They highlight the importance of being honest about one’s feelings and mental health, encouraging others to say "I’m not fine" when necessary, as it’s a brave and honest step toward healing. The talk also addresses the widespread mental health issues among youth, emphasizing that opening up can reduce isolation and foster deeper connections. The speaker concludes with a message of self-compassion, urging everyone to share their true feelings and embrace vulnerability.
