The basic common traits of individualism involves, the idea of being self-dependent and looking down upon the idea of being dependent on others.

Here, the answer itself can be found in the word individualism, where in a modern democratic society a person is a part of an entire society and does not exist in the society all by himself alone.

If an individual follows individualism and is being independent and idealizes this culture then what happens when the person is in need of emotional support?

Slowly, the individual will also start looking down upon the idea of finding emotional support from other individuals, which can lead to great consequences and emotional stress as this is against the natural nature of a human being and the individual can end up being in a very negative place.

When a person idealizes individualism it can create a drastic drop in the growth of the individual due to the constant pressure of being successful without seeking support in any task they have taken up and a common example can be to complete a task to achieve career growth and especially if the task is difficult for the individual and is starting to decline in it, in such a case a person should seek support and guidance to overcome the difficulty but rather takes the burden on all oneself and neither overcomes the situation and creates more stress and anxiety for, oneself.

There are situations where an individual overcomes a difficult task by themselves but this is not going to be constant for every situation.

There are many examples throughout which it can be pointed out that more than following individualism, a person should learn or practice seeking guidance whenever necessary to maintain an overall balance in one's life.

After being an individualism and have created mental and emotional stress on themselves, then naturally with much burden on the individuals they tend to be negative and slowly confine themselves to sharing of their feelings and also this pushes themselves towards the lack of social involvement and Thus can create a social problem in a modern democratic society where decline in individual growth can cause decline in overall growth of the society.
