So why is it the Idol Syndrome?
People don't admit that there are rooms for improvement. I think we have come to a point where we confuse arrogant with self-confidence. We confuse self-centeredness with high self-esteem. While it is great that we maintain self-confidence and have high self-esteem, I always believe that we need to be humble, and we need to really do some self reflections to know ourselves better - know our strengths, know our weaknesses. Only then we could move ahead, and gain more self confidence.
The problem is we are in this world that is too fast-paced - too fast that we have no time to sit down and think about things. No time for self reflections.
At the end of the day, all we see is just - we are THE idol.
And I worry if you think that that is "individualism".
